General presentation of our Intervention sectorsThe Foundation participates in sustainable development programmes in the six sectors below. Combating poverty and protecting the environment are basic cross-cutting themes, common to all the initiatives we support. Capacity building, local community involvement, partnerships, training, improved governance, entrepreneurial approach, gender awareness and climate change adaptation are key components of the integrated projects we support.
