Our vision
Reducing poverty is a collective challenge that, in a very concrete way, calls for an innovative vision of development, aimed not only at combating the effects of poverty, but that also addresses its root causes. In this perspective, the central focus of our programming is to promote local, equitable socioeconomic development in a spirit of solidarity.
This vision of development is based on :
Three interconnected approaches: local empowerment, support, and independence for partners and community groups; and
Two policies: gender equality and environmental protection.
