Partnership

DWF works in partnership with local artisans and builders, community based organisations, local and national government, and international agencies. As a relatively small organisation, partnership is important, and it enables DWF to scale up the impact of its projects and lessons learned from successful projects. For example, DW collaborates with the Association of Vietnamese Cities to spread the message of the DWF programme in Viet Nam; in the Sahel DWF has encouraged and trained partners such as PAB (Promotion de l’Artisanat Burkinabè) to integrate woodless construction into their activities, and the Woodless Construction Project in Niger. The picture (above) is the International study visit to woodless construction, for the World Habitat Award awarded through the Building and Social Housing Foundation
