L'Oeuvre Léger - Program 2007-2012

This program aims to reinforce the capacity of L'Oeuvre Léger's over 100 local partner organizations, with a view to promote the social, political and economic inclusion of marginalized groups and communities in 25 countries across Africa, Asia and the Americas. The program focuses on five strategic areas: (1) building partner management capacity and improved planning for development; (2) promoting human rights and supporting the participation of civil society in political processes; (3) supporting economic development through sustainable agricultural practices; (4) supporting basic health care; and (5) supporting basic education. Examples of activities for each of the strategic areas include: (1) supporting savings and credit organizations that provide women farmers with opportunities in Mali, and providing management training to Honduran consumer co-operatives; (2) providing leaderhip training to indigenous women in Bolivia and to impoverished youth in Sri Lanka; (3) enabling productivity and quality improvements for small milk producers in the Andes, and enhancing commercial networks for niche products produced by rural families in Peru; (4) training health promoters in natural medicine in Honduras and organizing campaigns to raise HIV/AIDS awareness in Cambodia and to prevent and treat leprosy in India; and (5) enrolling underprivileged youth and children in education programs in Bangladesh, Vietnam and the Philippines.
