AREAS OF ACTION

Solidarity cooperation projects

Concrete initiatives built between actors, territories and networks, in a logic of coordination and shared impact.

Projects rooted in local realities

Solidarity-based cooperation projects are concrete initiatives developed between different territories, built on collaboration, exchange, and adaptation to local contexts.

They do not follow a top-down aid approach, but rather a dynamic of co-creation between partners.

Each project is based on:

• a locally identified need
• committed stakeholders
• structured coordination
• a timeframe adapted to the project and its context

Solidarity-based cooperation is an alternative in response to globalization.

Our dynamics are global, our challenges are global, and therefore the solutions must also be global. Solidarity-based cooperation allows us to approach this situation in a rational, structural, horizontal, and cross-cutting way. It involves recognizing several key realities:

  • the recurring lack of economic growth in so-called “developed” countries (France, Italy, etc.)

  • the significant growth of “emerging” countries in recent years, although often slowed by various challenges

  • the gradual convergence of national GDP values across countries around the world

  • the lack of strong institutional consolidation in many emerging countries

  • the expertise of “developed” countries in building, developing, and operating institutional systems

A gradual approach

We prioritize continuity, contextualization, and clarity of roles.
