Arcilla Research, Epen, The Netherlands- is a small, Dutch-based, tecnology enterprise, Which has developed a special body of techniques and materials based on a mineral binder sistem, Whereby products with ceramic -like properties are cured rather than fired. The mineral binder sistem and range of new materials are neither cemens nor ceramic, yet offer many of the advantages of both. A New binder sistem has been developed for use with man-made and natural fibres to create water-repellent products
Three units have been set up by Arcilla Research to develop its family of new materials into useful products:
ARCILLA Ceramic Tecnology has centred on utilisation of secondary resources susch as coal fly ash to create products for building and construction.
PYRAMIC Advance Ceramic Materials is translating the tecnology of Arcilla Research into high-performance materials and products.
RUBACON Resource Utilisation for Building and Construction – aims to create building and construction systems in tune with the needs of people and the environment.
The new RUBACON Programme of Sustainable Development- Based on Utilisation of secondary and renewale resorces – includes a group of. Interrelated projects with the Key projec, advance building materials and construction system, at the core. The materials are lightweight – gender-sensitive; the may be produced and assembled by women and older children. The construction system is deseigned for stability-providing extremely high resistance to storm and earthquake.
The RENEW project for developing Biogas (alternative energy), natural fertilizer and micro-mineral powder from agricultural residues and animal dung, is one of the major arcillary projects. Other projects making up the programme include: a solar energy water harvesting system for providing people with both hot and cold water, a process for utilisation of ceramic waste to produce surface-glazed ceramic tiles sans kiln, durable sewer, water and irrigation pipe, low-cost road construction and tecnology for cleansing of polluted land and waterways.
Transfer of the arcilla tecnology as described in the implementation Plan, is unique and direct. It is aimed firts and foremost at the needs of the people, particularly the less well-off.
To implement our tecnology, we are open to co-operation with industry, university, goverment and non-govermment institutions. During its twenty five year existance, Arcilla has gathered together an international, multidiscipline team of regional and specialist consultants to provide technical know-how and project management skills for realising the potencial of.

The mission of the Platform for development of adequate housing in Montenegro is to advocate and promote the right to adequate housing and ensure that this right becomes an integral part of the Constitution of Montenegro. By organising like-minded organisations, unions and individuals into a platform, we intend to address many existing issues that are blocking the development of housing policy in Montenegro which would ensure affordability and accessibility of housing to anyone who is not able to solve this issue via the market.
We have already created an analysis of the current state in the field of social housing in Montenegro, and due to the lack of incentive to include the term adequate housing and to make the housing policy more inclusive and available, we see an important window opportunity to instigate public discussion about this issue.

The concept of. Sustainable human developmen has been identified at the Rio 92 Summit and fostered during the WSSD in Johannesburg as the leading strategic framework for proventy alleviation, environmet management and social equity.
Proverty phenomena interplays with negative physical, sociological, judicial and economical situations. Undestading and analyzing them appears as a firts step towards operational actions. In this same vein, a Togolese group of sholars and development specialists has ser up since December 2000, the Concerted Research Center on Development (CRCD) – a non profit association which hold an NGO status. The CRCD roots its activities on the type II parnership modus operandi thata offers the opportunity to the civil society to engage larger spectrum of development activities with public and private sectors. For this end, The CRCD intends to: conceive and to publish methodological, technical and scientific tools for social and economic development
– Participate in studies and researches on topics related to sustainable developement
– establish strong relationship with research institutes abroad and with similar structures at national level
– act. As local representative for international civil society networks in order to mobilize human an material resources for poverty allevation.

Thematic Focus
Land Tenure

Las policies and tenure issues in Africa are currenty focusing attention of decision makers, donor agencies, researches and civil society. CRCD has develop and is implementing a programme on land policy and tenure regimens. It uses various means like a sustainable apprenticeship, information sharing, capacities building and research in order to favor a debate on tenure policies

Environment

Togo is seriously confronted to progressive depletion of its natural resorces. Human bad behaviors are mostly the cause although physical reason cannot be neglected. For CRCD, informing and educating stakeholders is therefore a major component of the national development strategy.

The CRCD will act by all means for the involvement of environmental considerations in development plans, programme and projects. Some highly qualified human resources do exist within CRCD to carry out impact assessment and to formulate norms and standards of. Quality

Urban management .

The rapid urbanization in togo is happening in a context marked by the institutional weakness of the state, the lack of an operational descentralization process and the economic stagnation. Solving the urban development issue will require adequate insfrastructure supply and the amelioration of activities systems in a sanitized living area

Microfinance

Microfinance becomes nowadays an important tool in addessing poverty. When urban and rural poor are deprived from formal financial facilities, its is such decentralized financial systems which rescue them. CRCD takes it as a duty to help in promoting and reinforcing capacities within microfinance organizations by offering its evaluation/ Counsel/training services

La propuesta es parte del proceso de intercambios alcanzados mediante distintas líneas de investigación, extensión y de relaciones entre grupos y cátedras, mancomunados con organizaciones sociales e instituciones públicas, y surge de los avances investigativos de los distintos grupos sobre un amplio campo transdisciplinar que configura lo que se denomina crisis urbana y que exige un abordaje complejo, pues afecta la propia reproducción de la vida. En ese marco, la propuesta se erige para contribuir a las demandas manifestadas por entidades sociales activas en el mundo barrial marplatense en relación a las condiciones del habitar y, así, coadyuvar colectivamente a los requerimientos del gobierno local en torno al diseño de políticas habitacionales sin desigualdad social. Para ello, es necesario avanzar en nuevo conocimiento que permita profundizar la comprensión de las distintas formas de producción del espacio-tiempo barrial y las condiciones generales de reproducción, poniendo especial énfasis en las estrategias sociales contra hegemónicas
