Main Projects / Activities

Pour les enfants de l'Algérie ( Education) Beaucoup d'enfants pauvres des zones isolées de l'Algérie abandonnent l'école avant d'avoir terminer leurs études et obtenu un diplôme correspondant, pire encore, ils quittent l'école avant même d'avoir achever le cursus primaire. En raison des différences de niveaux d'éducation entre les différents groupes sociaux, les enfants issus de familles pauvres sont moins susceptibles de fréquenter l'école que ceux des familles les plus aisées. Missions : 1- Encourager l'éducation des enfants Algériens dans les régions les plus isolées 2 - Lutte contre l'analphabétisme dans les villages isolés en Algérie 3- Sensibiliser les parents à l'importance de l'enseignement des enfants (spécialement les filles) 4 - Promouvoir la citoyenneté active des jeunes volontaires participants dans le projet Algerian Food Bank : Algerian Food Bank est la première banque alimentaire de l’histoire de l’Algérie. Initié par l’association SIDRA le 05 juillet 2013, notre projet est à but non lucratif et vise à collecter, gérer et partager des denrées alimentaires et leur mise à disposition gratuite ou quasi-gratuite aux plus démunis d’une manière effective et durable. Nous agissons aussi par le biais d’associations partenaires au niveau national pour répondre aux urgences alimentaires dans les régions les plus isolées Nos campagnes impliquent différentes catégories de la société dans l’action volontaire et se base sur l’énergie et la fraicheur de la jeunesse algérienne pour réaliser des campagnes efficaces et innovantes contre la faim et la malnutrition. Mission Collecter, gérer et partager des denrées alimentaires et leur mise à disposition gratuite ou quasi-gratuite aux plus démunis d’une manière effective et durable. Objectifs : - Apporter de l’aide alimentaire aux personnes nécessiteuses - Impliquer les personnes physiques et morales dans l'action volontaire - Créer le besoin d'aider et l’esprit de solidarité chez le citoyen algérien Vision Faire de l’Algerian Food Bank une référence dans le domaine de la gestion des projets solidaires liés à l’aide alimentaire en Algérie.

Mission and Objectives

Since 1991, Initiative Minderheiten has been advocating for and contributing to creating a society that acknowledges and affords equal treatment and equal rights to minorities in their individual life concepts regardless of their ethnic, social or religious affiliation, sexual orientation or dis/ability. A society can only be considered to have acknowledged minority rights if it facilitates and supports different life concepts in a fair and equal manner. Initiative Minderheiten works towards creating minority alliances.
IM defines a minority as people who experience discrimination based on their ethnic, social or religious affiliation, sexual orientation or dis/ability. Politically, discrimination means excluding certain people from certain rights; socially, it means experiencing prejudices and exclusions. This definition is not based on a group’s number of members, but rather on their lack of power in comparison to that of the hegemonic majority.

We would like to ask about if we have a opportunity to develop a cooperation with MEPC?
The Policy Centre – in light of the social, economic and political situation for the people living in Cyprus – works towards knowledge-based intellectual and autonomous progress in activities, and the execution of a self-sufficient, sustainable and competitive structure.
The Policy Centre, has been established to analyze and interpret important developments occurring or likely to happen in Cyprus and around the world, to provide feedback, bring together experts and relevant individuals, provide a platform for the exchange of ideas and views, and collaborate with individuals and organizations working in this direction.
Communication tools, research, collection of information and assessment methods will provide the opportunity to study organizational developments and also will create the opportunity to collect a considerably important amount of information on human and societal behavior. Policies will be produced on the basis of available information using the disciplines of economics, political science, sociology and management sciences.
The Mediterranean Policy Centre will form a network of communication and cooperation, in sociology, management, public policy and international relations – including prominent individuals and institutions.
With collaboration and cooperation underpinned by applied scientific studies the Policy Center will bring accelerated development to the island and the area.

· To promote active participation in and strengthening of citizen-government relations to encourage the development of the democratic process and decrease the distance and mistrust between government and its citizens. In this way, the state will be informed of the needs and expectations of citizens at every stage of policy making and the trust of the public in the state will be restored and civil capacity will be strengthened.
· To setup a dialogue between intellectuals, institutions, organizations and civil society organizations to ensure cooperation, execute and complete projects, and create a network of interested parties.
· To contribute towards creating and/or strengthening the local and international identity by bringing together like-minded organizations and creating synergies at a macro level.
· To encourage and promote the strengthening of Civil Society Organizations, capacity building and advocacy in order to increase their impact on decision-making mechanisms and produce effective, alternative policies.
· To promote active citizenship by providing an open platform where all may voice their suggestions and contribute to the wellbeing of society and participate in producing alternative policies.
· Offer a forum where CSOs can become a bridge between individual expectations and the state. Strengthening CSOs would then result in a stronger link between the state and its citizens.
· To work – on a project basis – with organizations and similar institutions abroad, benefit from studies conducted by researchers and scientists world-wide and further the development of business association.
