Programs of structural adjustment and economic recovery Weak financial capacity of the State Increasing demand for schooling in an environment marked
by the vastness of the country, the dispersed population and the low population density…
Despite the difficult context, the people are there…
Using their own resources, communities have started building classrooms which, despite bringing an immediate solution to the needs, suffer from several quality-related problems.

How can we produce school buildings that:
Conform to the standards (size, surroundings, quality of materials, implementation)
Are durable Are of a reasonable cost Are built within the shortest possible time Are equitably allocated Meet the actual demand of the population
Starting point
Birth, in 1990, of the idea of relying on the mobilization of the beneficiaries and to take
advantage of community initiatives for school construction

COMMUNITY-DRIVEN APPROACH Basic principles
Support the community effort in school construction through various basic principles
Delegation/Empowerment Financial contributions Quality requirements Technical assistance Priority to motivated and relevant demands Involvement of the local authorities (administrative,
educational, community) in the planning and follow-up process
![Page 8: 1 Presentation on the Mauritanian experience regarding the COMMUNITY-DRIVEN APPROACH TO SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION Presented by: Mohamed Mahmoud O. Chrif M’hamed](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f045503460f94c1777f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

COMMUNITY-DRIVEN APPROACH Essential elements
The specific nature of those carrying out the orders (communities are often poor and lack technical skills and knowledge of execution procedures for state orders) would need an administration that would guarantee:
High responsiveness and swiftness in payment Extreme mobility and adequate human and material
resources to enable rapid intervention where necessary
Qualities that are incompatible with the bureaucracies of the classic public administration
Setting up the Education and Training Projects Directorate (ETPD) responsible for, among others, the implementation of the Community-driven Approach of
School Construction

COMMUNITY-DRIVEN APPROACH ETPD : Implementation mechanism of
the Approach
Collect basic information for planning purposes
Ensure the coordination of the communities before, during and after the operation
Provide technical assistance to the communities
Pilot, monitor and supervise the execution of the work and manufacture school furniture
Mobile units. « Cheville ouvrière » of the implementation of the Approach

1. Training/Action… Testing the methods, techniques and tools Direct participation of the CTRs on-site Trainer builders
COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACH HOW IT EVOLVED
Prior to reaching maturity, the Approach went through three levels:
2. Popularization/Consolidation… skills transfer Awareness (pre-planning) Promotion (at the time of commencement) Assistance and close supervision (throughout)
3. Generalization… Systematization and adoption as preferred approach Information Punctual interventions Periodic follow-up
