Checklist: How to Create a nTembu Pyramid for your Community

Creating a high-performing community pyramid requires strategic planning and structured management. This checklist guides you step-by-step to ensure the success of your project with nTembu.

1. Define the Pyramid's Foundations

Identify participating institutions: List the major families, associations, businesses, or other organizations that will form the pillars of your pyramid.
Clarify objectives: Develop a clear mission for the pyramid—whether to promote solidarity, support social projects, foster investments, or combine these priorities.
Name the pyramid: Choose a name that symbolizes your community's values, history, and identity.

2. Form a Governance Team

Appoint the 6 main administrators (representing 6 institutions in the community):
- Super Admin: Manages pyramid creation and coordinates with other administrators.
- Heart Admin: Develops and manages solidarity services (e.g., community support funds).
- Eye Admin: Oversees financial control and ensures transparency.
- Mouth Admin: Handles representation and mediation within the community.
- Right Hand Admin: Creates and manages social projects.
- Left Hand Admin: Designs and leads investment projects.
Establish an organizational chart: Clearly assign responsibilities to each administrator for effective management.
Define a long-term vision: Outline fundamental values and strategic direction to guide the pyramid's actions.

3. Create and Configure the Pyramid with nTembu

Create the account for your representative institution (family, association, business) on nTembu:

Use the institution's official email address (not a personal one) to ensure administrative continuity.
Register the institution's name and the person in charge of its management.
Create the pyramid on the nTembu platform:

Go to the PYRAMIDS tab on the homepage and click on CREATE PYRAMID.
Enter the required administrative information. A nTembu pyramid is also considered an institution.
Important: The email address used for the Super Admin's registration is the one associated with the institution that will occupy this role in the pyramid being created.
Invite administrators' institutions: The Super Administrator invites the other five administrators using the email addresses of their respective institutions.
Plan a launch event: Organize a meeting or campaign to officially present the pyramid to the community and encourage members to join.

4. Plan Services and Projects

Develop solidarity services:

Identify priority community needs, such as funeral support funds.
Plan additional services tailored to the specific expectations of the community.

List social projects:

Plan sustainable initiatives that generate income or improve living conditions.

List investment projects:

Plan sustainable initiatives that generate income or improve living conditions.

5. Establish Financial Policies

Set contributions: Determine the amounts to collect from member institutions to cover the pyramid's operating costs.
Use the administration fee collection tool:
- The total amount to be collected is divided equally among member institutions, ensuring fairness regardless of the number of members per institution.
Ensure financial transparency:
- Use nTembu tools to track contributions and expenses in real time.
- Place community funds in recognized financial institutions. Withdrawals must be validated by administrators according to established procedures.

6. Mobilize Human and Financial Resources

Invite member institutions of the community to join the pyramid:

Integrate participating institutions into your pyramid through the nTembu platform.
Official representatives act on behalf of their members.
Seek financial partners: Identify donors, investors, or organizations willing to support community projects.

7. Monitoring and Evaluation

Track performance: Analyze contributions, projects, and activities through the nTembu dashboard.
Gather feedback: Regularly consult members to adapt services and improve the pyramid's efficiency according to evolving needs.
