Social Infrastructure for Development
Assai has worked on over 300 projects throughout the Asia Pacific region and Australia. This experience covers all aspects of designing and delivering appropriate designs, facilities, infrastructure and community building processes, both within a development context and with Indigenous communities.
We actively develop community resources and capabilities by involving local institutions, associations, suppliers, professionals and beneficiaries in project design and implementation. Our unique consultative approach involves eliciting stakeholder needs and goals through transparent workshop methods.
Our projects are based on the following development principles:
- Active counterpart participation
- Simple, appropriate and affordable technical designs
- Durable, easily constructed and easily maintained buildings
- Maximum use of local human and material resources
- Opportunities for local builders and suppliers
- Design, management and procurement support to strengthen local processes
- Funding agency procurement and reporting compliance requirements
