The biggest contribution for the
programs set up are the local populations themselves. Globally, they account
for more than half!
The institutional funders are about ten: the French, Belgian Cooperation,
luxemburg etc. but also private foundations. Most have an engagement on 3 or 5
years. Generally they finance 30 to 80% of the proposed budget, the rest being
covered by private grants.
The private grants - like the revenues from our equitable trades, are extremely
important, they permit the flexibility, they permit to test the unforeseen
innovations, to seize some opportunities. In addition, combined with
institutional funds, they have a very important lever effect.
