Methodology
The territorial cycle
Six phases inherited from the XP-NOVA method, applied at the scale of a territory. Every phase produces a verifiable deliverable.
How to read this page
ODT's territorial cycle takes the six-phase XP-NOVA method and applies it at the scale of a municipality, a basin or a region. Each phase produces a verifiable deliverable, which conditions the move to the next.
- Understand, design, structure, deliver, sustain, measure.
- The diagnosis relies on the Observatory; structuring produces bankable files in FCFA.
- Delivery is equipped by XP-NOVA's disciplines: studies, owner's engineering, works supervision, monitoring and evaluation.
The six phases of the territorial cycle
In order, what each phase examines and the verifiable deliverable it produces.
Understand
Territorial diagnosis
Data-driven territory profile (Observatory), actors, constraints, potential. Deliverable: a shared, objectified diagnosis.
Design
Vision & portfolio
A development vision and a coherent project portfolio — prioritised on published criteria. Deliverable: a portfolio validated by local governance.
Structure
Governance & financing
Studies, FCFA budgets, institutional set-up, safeguards, financing round. Deliverable: bankable dossiers.
Deliver
Steered programmes
Delivery under XP-NOVA engineering: owner's engineering, works supervision, control. Deliverable: facilities and services handed over.
Sustain
Local capacity
Management models, maintenance, training of local teams. Deliverable: autonomous operating arrangements.
Measure
Published impact
Indicators tracked over time and published — the territory measures its own progress. Deliverable: verifiable impact reports.
The toolkit
A method backed by real engineering
ODT's territorial methodology is not an abstraction: it is equipped by the XP-NOVA disciplines, proven on major public facilities.
Engineering by XP-NOVA
The disciplines that equip this programme — studies, owner's engineering, works supervision, structuring — are carried by XP-NOVA, Engineering & Advisory Firm.
