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.

The daily activities of RUE - Risorse Umane Europa will contribute to strengthen active European citizenship through common intercultural learning experiences, to enrich and integrate services and opportunities for disadvantaged young people, to acquire from young people relevant indications to favour the understanding of intercultural communications in a European and enlarged context of equal opportunities.

Main Projects / Activities

The work group of young cooperators and volunteers of RUE is involved for many years now in organizing Regional and European projects for those working in the field of socio-educational services and health, for managers, teachers, foreign minors and their families, students of the middle schools and high schools, and young people of the autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The presence of RUE into the institutional structures meets the need to offer a qualified reference for the planning and the intervention actions, with an implementation of the actions in a trans-cultural field; therefore, the civil society and the target group of young people will be able to benefit from a specialised support to interpret, with a correct methodological approach, different economic, social and cultural issues.
Each study case represents a spur to reorganise relationships and to foreshadow positive changes in the services in order to: improve the performances, have an immediate exchange with young people of the same age, experiment dialogue on topics of common interest, understand the immediate and future outlooks, also in a situation of disadvantage. Reflection workshops will be organised by RUE in the high schools of the Region. Between 2004 and 2009 the Service for Community Relations and European integration of Autonomous Region Friuli Venezia Giulia invited RUE - European Human Resources to improve relations between citizens and local and community institutions.
