The Egyptian Earth Construction Association (EECA) is an Egyptian non-governmental / non-profit organization founded in 1997 (Registry No. 367/1997, Ministry of Social Affairs), concerned with Appropriate Building Technology (ABT) as a tool for sustainable development and community building. Based on that approach, we are working to develop, apply, and disseminate alternative building technologies that are appropriate for the Egyptian context.

Our Mission

The act of building, if appropriate, has the potential of improving our built environment while preserving our non-renewable natural resources. It is our mission, and the responsibility of all who are involved in the building process in Egypt, to apply appropriate building technologies that:

Use local building materials
Utilize renewable sources of energy and implement energy saving techniques
Harmonize with the environment and play a part in the development of local communities
 

Our Objectives

Disseminate appropriate technologies and promote their role in preserving the environment and responding to cultural traditions and socio-economic needs
Conduct, document, and encourage research activities to develop innovative building techniques with local materials with respect to energy efficiency and economic self-sufficiency
Provide technical assistance and consultancy services on ABT for organizations, communities and individuals
Provide training for architects, engineers, technicians, and workers on ABT
Encourage research and publications on ABT
Establish and update a database of relevant technical experience
Build a communication network with relevant organizations and professionals
Raise funds needed to support the above mentioned programs and related projects
