liikmepõhist

liikmepõhist is an Estonian term that translates to "member-based" or "membership-based". It describes a system, organization, or approach that relies on the participation and contribution of its members. This can apply to various contexts, such as economic models, social organizations, or service delivery.

In an economic sense, a liikmepõhist model often refers to cooperatives or credit unions where individuals become owners by acquiring membership. These entities are typically democratically controlled by their members, who have a say in the organization's operations and decisions. Profits or benefits are often shared among members based on their participation or patronage.

Socially, a liikmepõhist organization might be a club, association, or non-profit group where membership grants access to services, activities, or a community. The strength of such organizations often lies in the active involvement of their members in governance and operations.

In terms of service delivery, a liikmepõhist approach means that the services are designed and provided with the needs and input of the members as a priority. This can lead to more tailored and effective services compared to purely commercial or externally driven models. The core principle is that the members themselves are central to the existence and functioning of the entity.
