Inter Aide, Essor and Initiative Développement created the website Pratiques in 1995 to foster exchanges of experiences and to improve the quality and impact of the actions on the field.

These technical notes are shared through the "Pratiques" network regrouping the NGOs who have signed the “Inter Aide Charter”. The aim of this network is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and methods between field teams working on development programs.

We would like to stress here that these technical notes are not prescriptive. Their purpose is not to "say what should be done" but to present experiences and learnings in the context in which they were carried out.

"Pratiques" authors allow the reproduction of these technical notes, upon request, provided that the information they contain is reproduced entirely including this notice.
