<aside> 💡 Purpose: The (District Cooperation Proposal) DCP Board allows Districts to submit internal project proposals for shared services, ensuring efficiency and cost reduction. The goal is to achieve the best price (zero, if possible) while maintaining fairness, commitment, and quality through a stake system that secures accountability and satisfaction for all involved Districts.

Additionally, the system facilitates flexible deals, where payment can be made through monetary compensation, resource exchange, work hours, consultancy, or project swaps, promoting a collaborative ecosystem within the network.
