Mission and Objectives

La mission institutionnelle de ProgettoMondo Mlal, en termes généraux, se base sur la construction d’une citoyenneté globale, juste et solidaire. Au cours de son histoire cette perspective s’est traduite en actions concrètes – projets, assistance technique, présence de coopérants, échanges Nord - Sud et Sud - Sud sur différents thèmes mais avec un objectif constant: la promotion d’un développement participatif.
Nous réaffirmons par conséquent que les projets que ProgettoMondo Mlal élabore ou a élaboré dans chaque pays sont insérés dans une stratégie institutionnelle qui répond aux critères mentionnés, et qui peuvent se résumer dans le paradigme stratégique suivant: “rester dans la réalité du pays en accompagnant des processus de développement par le bas”. Le développement des thèmes (santé, éducation, environnement, etc.) naît par conséquent également de cette méthode de travail, du moment que la sélection et la priorité de thèmes et de secteurs répond à des critères de comparaison entre les priorités nationales et les initiatives locales. De plus, l'expérience nous apprend que le thème “droits de l’homme” est au premier plan dans les pays où il y a une plus grande attention de la société civile autour de ce thème (pour des raisons historiques ou autre), ou bien que le thème indigène est plus fort dans des secteurs où ces mouvements sociaux articulent de manière plus claire une question sociale et politique.

Main Projects / Activities

ProgettoMondo Mlal est présent en Amérique Latine depuis plus de 40 ans et en Afrique depuis plus de 10 ans, avec des projets de coopération qui entendent renforcer le développement des capacités collectives des groupes exclus. Nombreux sont les thèmes traités :
- Santé communautaire, par des actions de renforcement des services et de renforcement de communautés et d’organisations locales de base.
- Développement rural, par des activités concernant les thèmes du soutien à la production, au renforcement des organisations et des groupes de paysans, à la reconnaissance légale des terres, au renforcement de la participation de la femme rurale.
- Économie solidaire, par le soutien de la création et le renforcement d’expériences de production et d’organisation (artisanat, tourisme équitable, production agricole, commerce) administrées dans un but économique, et par son intégration au niveau national et international.
- Sécurité alimentaire, en réduisant le niveau de pauvreté des familles bénéficiaires, surtout les plus vulnérables, en améliorant leur nutrition et en augmentant le niveau de leurs revenus, à travers l’amélioration de leurs capacités de production, augmentant ainsi leur niveau de sécurité alimentaire. En même temps, par ses projets ProgettoMondo Mlal s’attend à ce que les bénéficiaires acquièrent des connaissances et mettent en place des pratiques de conservation des ressources naturelles.
- Droits de l’homme, par des projets de promotion du droit au nom, à l'identité, de défense des droits de la femme, de protection et de promotion des droits, de recherche et de formation de promoteurs des droits de l’homme.
- Droits des peuples indigènes, orientés principalement au renforcement des organisations de base.
- Droits de l'enfant, par des projets de soutien au mouvement national des enfants et adolescents travailleurs au niveau national, en augmentant leurs capacités organisatrices et leur intégration internationale, et par des projets d’alphabétisation et de formation, à travers également la réalisation d’activités ludiques et récréatives visant l'intégration sociale et psychologique des enfants en situation de risque.
- Gestion des ressources naturelles et de l'environnement, par des projets et une assistance technique spécifiquement basée sur le thème de la Lutte à la Désertification, orientés à renforcer les capacités nationales dans la définition de priorités nationales et d’instruments d’intervention et de contrôle. ProgettoMondo Mlal détient le statut d’observateur auprès de l'UNCCD - Secrétariat de la Convention de Lutte contre la Désertification.
- Urgences, aide humanitaire et soutien aux processus de reconstruction, à l’occasion de calamités naturelles et en aide aux populations vulnérables.
Ces thèmes ont eu des axes transversaux d’ordre méthodologique, comme le renforcement institutionnel, la perspective de genre, l'inter-culturalité, le développement durable et, à l’intérieur même de la perspective, de promouvoir des processus endogènes de développement.

Project 'Të Kujdesemi - Taking Care' started in Albania

Image
man speaks at an event

the Fondazione Emmanuel per il Sud del Mondo’s project continues for another 12 months. This project was born out of the need to respond to the primary needs of minors and women in the seven villages of Albania (Beltoje, Ashte, Kosmac, Stajke, Shelqet, Bushat, Malihebe) and specifically the lack of sanitation services, difficulty of access to basic education, lack of operators specialized in reception and psychological support, poor hygiene and nutrition of minors, inadequate facilities for workshop and recreational activities, the presence of women victims of domestic violence and in situations of extreme poverty. Targeted interventions are therefore necessary to support and include women and minors in fragile and vulnerable conditions in the social and cultural context of the country.

Mission and Objectives

Our Association, established in 2000, aims at building and promoting activities and research about cultural, political and religious experiences, with regard to the forms of coexistence of the Mediterranean peoples. We develop proposals to identify and revalue the countless identities that characterize the Mediterranean area, trusting that knowledge of the respective collective identities may foster mutual understanding, and reduce controversies between local groups, both in war and in peace.
In order to understand the deep causes of conflicts in the area and to facilitate a solution, our research work is based on the study of the Statalist and the Glocalist Western-born models of collective identity. From this innovative perspective, our Association develops research and analysis discussed in international seminars and conferences, also in collaboration with other Italian and foreign associations and research institutions.

Main Projects / Activities

The Association's main projects are:

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Mediterranean Perspectives intends to give its contribution to the Italian ALF National Network in the context of the "Greater Mediterranean" by raising awareness about the social, economic, political and cultural impact of the countless collective identities existing in the Mediterranean area.
As a result of our meetings and studies, and as a practical contribution to the solution of the conflicts that plague the Mediterranean, in particular the Middle East, the Association aims at providing methodological tools for future experts and/or negotiators to-be in order to foster the dialogue at cultural, social and political level between the Mediterranean societies
The Israeli-Palestinian issue often influence the Mediterranean area. In 2006 Mediterranean Perspectives started a series of meetings behind closed doors, still in progress, aimed at analyzing issues related to the management of the Jerusalem’s Holy Places, often a source of political manipulation in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
In this context, Mediterranean Perspective launched a negotiating methodology based on a deep and detailed study of all the rules applied to Jerusalem’s Holy Places and to the Status Quo between the recognized communities in the area. The Israeli and Palestinian experts attending the seminars agreed on a shared glossary of the most controversial terms and on the formulation of policy options, with the common goal to respect each other respective identity.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The Association is applying to join the ALF Network in order to share knowledge, information, ideas, multidisciplinary research projects as well as to develop contacts with partners working in this field. Through a closer involvement with the ALF activities and projects the Association intends to strengthen relations with other partners, in order to broaden its research and exchange expertise as well as opportunities.
Moreover, we would like to benefit from ALF support in order to get information and advice about grants and funds opportunities.

Protecting the Alps: CLEANALP's Fight Against Plastic Pollution

Image
Clean ALP - logo

The CLEANALP project, which was organized by an alliance including The North Face Explore Fund and coordinated by the European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA), with support from the European Research Institute, aimed to address plastic pollution in the Alps. Extensive research on microplastics in the snow was conducted as part of the project, with the objective of safeguarding the alpine habitat across low, medium, and high altitudes.

The CLEANALP project involved various activities such as clean-up events, stakeholder and volunteer training, school initiatives, public events, workshops, and communication campaigns via social media and press coverage.

Participants had the opportunity to directly engage in clean-up activities, receive training, and attend workshops, thereby contributing to the protection of the alpine environment. The project takes place from March 2022 to July 2023 in remarkable alpine locations, including the Parco delle Alpi Marittime, Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso, and Parco Nazionale della Valgrande.

Individuals interested in making a positive impact on the environment, learning about plastic pollution, and contributing to scientific research had the chance to participate in the CLEANALP project.
