Get involved as an operational partner!
The Nubian Vault technique is disseminated by operational partners who adopt AVN’s deployment strategy and duplicate it in their own action zones.
- Read here for information on the strategy, methodology and partner roles in the dissemination of the Nubian Vault concept in the Sahel
These partners benefit from AVN’s technical and methodological support, coordinated through a Sahelian Network of Nubian Vault Developers.
This operational partner can be:
- A farmers’ organization, a basic community organization, an association of artisans, or a professional federation interested in deploying the Nubian Vault in its action zones
- A regional or national civil society organization, or a national NGO
- An international NGO, having enough resources to ensure the development of one or more Implementation Territories
To ensure the duplication of Implementation Units in their action zones, the partners have to :
- Mobilize in favor of adapted housing in the Sahel and the evolution of the construction sector
- Adopt AVN’s method for the deployment of the NV technique
- Be strongly rooted locally, facilitating the relationships with others actors in their territories
- Be able to raise the necessary funding to develop Implementation Units
- Contribute to the monitoring and evaluation organized by AVN and shared through the Sahelian Network of Nubian Vault Developers
Animation of the Sahelian Network of Nubian Vault Developers
In recent years, AVN has evolved its intervention strategy by transferring to third partners its methodology for promoting Nubian Vault construction.
AVN can also provide support functions: training of masons, technical support, quality control, monitoring and evaluation, etc.
The Sahelian Network of Nubian Vault Developers promotes skills transfer, exchanges of good practice and the optimization of deployment methods. This network is a lever for promoting an adapted housing culture in the Sahel. In other words, it is an instrument of technical progress for the community of Nubian Vault Developers, and undertakes advocacy to accelerate the deployment of this solution.
AVN manages this Sahelian Network of Nubian Vault Developers. It involves transferring skills to the partners and facilitating exchanges between the network’s members, giving substance to the collective they constitute and valuing the benefits to be gained from working together.
