Burkina Faso

AVN has been present in Burkina Faso since 2000, the start of the program, and ~ 70% of our impacts have been in this country. The AVN-BF team runs the national program from Boromo (centre-West).

Mali

AVN has been present in Mali since 2007, and around 25% of our impacts are here. AVN-Mali, based in Ségou, organizes our regional programs and provides support to national partners.

Sénégal

AVN launched in Senegal in 2008, and so far projects here count for around 5% of total impacts. With a local NGO 'Le Partenariat', a program has been opened in the region of Podor. AVN does not yet have a permanent base in Senegal.

Bénin

In 2011, AVN launched a program in the north of Benin with a franchise partner, Dassari Bénéfiz, in the region of Natitingou).

Zambia

After an initial evaluation mission in 2009, several NV houses have been built in villages in the Chibombo District. AVN is currently seeking local partners to further develop our program here (and in neighbouring Botswana)

Madagascar

As a result of an exploratory mission in 2010, AVN, in partnership with the NGO Ecoles du Monde, sent a NV mason to build two test houses in Tananarive and Majunga. We are now in a follow-up and evaluation phase.

Other countries

AVN would like to see the NV concept applied in as many countries as appropriate, and is open to relevant suggestions and approaches.

So far, NV masons have worked on pilot projects in Togo, Rwanda and northern Ivory Coast. Others are expected to go to Guinea Conakry and Mauritania, and many contacts are currently being explored for these and other projects.
