Beskrivelse av organisasjon

ActionAid is an international civil society organization working with over 15 million people across 45 countries, including France. It focuses on empowering those living in poverty and exclusion, particularly women. Its mission is to strengthen the capacity and agency of individuals, enabling them to assert their rights and drive social change. Founded in 2011 in Lons-le-Saunier, Peuples Solidaires Jura operates as part of ActionAid France – pour peuples solidaires. Our organization is committed to promoting solidarity-based development and raising awareness about the root causes of underdevelopment. We actively engage in popular education for development and support struggles for fundamental human rights, while fostering solidarity with partners in the Global South, particularly in Togo and Burkina Faso. In addition to our involvement in mobilization and advocacy activities alongside ActionAid France, our primary focus is on local initiatives. We contribute to citizenship and international solidarity education through various activities and events targeting diverse audiences, including schools. Our events are designed to be open and free for everyone, promoting social diversity and community cohesion. However, we place particular emphasis on reaching rural populations and underserved neighborhoods, where individuals often feel disconnected from the broader community and the world.
