Emerging Bamboo Houses (CAEMBA)
The CAEMBA project started out as an initiative to support families affected by the earthquake in Esmeraldas and Manabí in April 2016, by providing them with emergent housing solutions. Its main objective is to deliver three thousand kits of cabins 5 meters wide by 8 meters free of charge, built with bamboo and mosquito nets. Due to the budget constraints, the initiative calls for social participation and builds with the contribution of volunteers within the communities, the design of the cabins allows them to be built in one day. The initiative, with the video tutorial for the construction of the cabins, is also found on the website of the Yasunidos organization. In the years following the earthquake, CAEMBA has launched the same construction concept for different projects, such as Child Care Centers, in the Manabí and Esmeraldas region.

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
