Transmission of the dissemination methodology of the Nubian Vault technique to local partners

For several years now, having achieved positive results from kick-starting and market reinforcement, AVN has also worked to disseminate its methods of development so that local actors can make them their own and replicate them, since they are the most legitimate actors to manage the Nubian Vault programme. Just as AVN does not sell or build houses but rather boosts local supply and demand that in turn initiates the market, AVN wants to limit the use of an exogenous dissemination model, instead transferring skills to local actors so that they can make Nubian Vaults a tool for development that will help them carry out their own missions. These actors are responsible for dissemination and wide-scale replication, beyond the regions in which AVN is active. This can involve all types of actors: • Farmers' associations, local cooperatives, etc. • Civil society organizations, local NGOs • Local authorities and public institutions Results for 2016-2017: • 460 buildings constructed (+ 6%) • 3,323 user-beneficiaries • 91% used for housing • 84% of buildings constructed in rural areas • 92% built for the core target clientele (farmers, shopkeepers and civil servants) • 9% of buildings involved a partner • 134 new sites, bringing the total number of sites with at least one NV building up to 970 Field Partners Burkina Faso • Kombi-Naam Association of Gomponsom for the Sahel: Awareness raising, promotion of the NV housing microcredit, construction of NV agricultural and community buildings, training of local young people • Credit and Savings Baoré Tradition Union/Naam: Setting up and dissemination of NV housing microcredit products • Association for the Promotion of Inclusive Finance in Burkina: Setting up and dissemination of NV housing microcredit products • Tinyenga Niyemba Burkina /Via Nebba: On-site project operator working to rehouse disaster- stricken populations • Morija: On-site operator for the expansion project of the Medical-Surgical Centre of Kaya, monitoring of NV mason training • Fédération Nationale des Groupements Naam: Development of the AVN programme and of the NV market Mali • Teriya Amitié: Awareness raising, construction of agricultural and community buildings, monitoring of NV mason training in Niéna commune • Mayor's office of Kemekafo: Awareness raising and promotion of NV use in Kemekafo commune • Miniankala-Kafo/Koutiala inter-community body: Awareness raising and promotion of NV use in the cercle of Koutiala • Farmer's Union of the Tominian Circle: Awareness raising about NVs in the cercle of Tominian • Vocational Training Centre of Tominian: Training of NV masons Senegal et Mauritania • Le Partenariat: Development of AVN's programme and of the NV market in the regions of St. Louis and Matam • Malem Auder: Awareness raising in rural areas, support for community building projects, monitoring of NV mason training • Enda Pronat: Research and action on constructing agricultural buildings in the Niayes zone, monitoring of mason training • Youth Harvest Foundation: Awareness raising in rural zones, construction of community buildings, monitoring of NV mason training in the Bolgatanga region • Peal Deng: Awareness raising in rural zones, construction of community buildings
