Points cles du programme ASI au Congo et au Gabon ASI travaille depuis 40 ans en Afrique : Burkina- Faso, ex Zaire devenu la RDC, Cameroun. Les nombreux projets menes dans ces pays sont devenus autonomes et leurs activites continuent a travers des equipes a 100% locales qui ont pris le relais d'ASI. ASI a cependant conserve le management direct du programme le plus important. Celui-ci, initie en 2007 a Brazzaville au Congo, puis a Pointe-Noire (2012), et tout recemment ouvert a Libreville au Gabon, vise a former et reinserer socialement et professionnellement les jeunes filles mineures en situation de prostitution de survie en rue. Appuye par des subventions institutionnelles (ONU, AFD, Mairie de Paris) ainsi que par des subventions privees (Fondation SODEXO, Groupe Air France, TotalEnergies, Groupe Perenco ), ASI a pu developper ses programmes dans la duree (Annexe 1). Le management de ce programme complexe est assure par les 12 membres du CA d'ASI, aux profils varies et bases en France et aux USA (Annexe 2), definissant et deployant une Gouvernance stricte (Annexe 3). Les membres du CA sont strictement benevoles et assument leurs eventuels frais induits (visites au Congo, repas et deplacements lors d'un CA). La totalite des fonds recueillis aupres de nos partenaires sont ainsi dedies a nos beneficiaires et aux personnels locaux des 5 centres, actuellement 70 personnes. Le pilotage courant est assure par un Bureau de 4 personnes, qui anime au quotidien le DG local du programme et son Adjointe chargee principalement de la RH et des Partenariats. ASI travaille avec nombre d'autres ONG (agissant dans d'autres registres) mais aussi des entites etatiques ou locales (Mairies, Service de sante et de l'Action Sociale, prefecture, police, congregations). Ce processus en reseau apporte des synergies economiques mais aussi humaines, ferments d'une reussite collective. ~20% des beneficiaires sont d'ailleurs signalees par d'autres acteurs que nos propres equipes de maraude . ASI est l'unique entite (ONG ou etatique) assurant une telle mission dans les deux pays. Au fil des annees, ASI a su organiser et piloter un reseau de prise en charge de ces jeunes filles via un processus innovant de maraudes pour les identifier. ~80% choisissent de rejoindre le programme des que nous sommes (financierement) en mesure de le leur proposer. Un projet personnalise est ensuite construit, sur une base individuelle, volontaire et formalisee par un Contrat , typiquement de 3 ans, a l'issue duquel la beneficiaire est en position de gagner sa vie dignement. Dans une premiere etape, la reponse aux besoins essentiels en termes de nourriture, sante et contraception, de soutien aux enfants de ces beneficiaires (plus d'une sur deux sont mamans), parfois de remise a niveau scolaire de base (lire, ecrire, compter) est apportee. Un programme complet de reinsertion personnelle puis de formation professionnalisante est ensuite defini avec chaque beneficiaire. Les principales etapes a suivre et les engagements personnels pris sur une base volontaire par la beneficiaire sont materialises via un Contrat signe avec ASI, de facon a la responsabiliser pleinement, et pouvoir piloter avec elle tout ecart eventuel de facon formelle, objective et transparente. Les formations et projets d'insertion sont adaptes aux realites du Congo et du Gabon. Initialement classiques (couture, cuisine, coiffure), elles sont regulierement enrichies, tels les metiers de mecanicienne, technicienne de climatisation ou encore soudeuse. Plus recemment, une formation de base en bureautique et anglais a ete introduite, offrant aux beneficiaires un nouveau debouche professionnel potentiel, les entreprises trouvant difficilement des profils adequats pour ces postes. Enfin, un projet de creation d'une ferme productrice d'epices, produits a forte valeur ajoutee et exportables, est en cours de lancement a Dolisie. Le processus ASI a ete regulierement optimise et adapte aux realites du terrain au cours des annees. Une description detaillee est disponible. L'activite d'ASI a ete en progression constante. De 10-15 reinsertions de beneficiaires par an dans les premieres annees, les resultats du programme ont regulierement cru jusqu'a atteindre 52 sorties reussies en 2024 des centres de Brazzaville et Pointe-Noire. Depuis son demarrage en 2007, ASI a accueilli ~3700 beneficiaires, qui se sont reinserees et gagnent desormais leur vie dignement. Les resultats sont probants avec ~85 % d'insertion reussie avec un travail stable et correctement remunere. S'y ajoutent ~10% de beneficiaires reinserees socialement mais sans avoir trouve ou pris un travail. En 2024, les centres ASI ont accueilli en moyenne quotidienne 190 beneficiaires et 84 jeunes enfants dans les creches. En outre, plus de 794 autres jeunes filles ont ete aidees ou secourues en rue, hors centres (protection contre de la violence, repas, soins et conseils medicaux). Par ailleurs, pour mieux repondre aux besoins identifies par ASI lors des maraudes, trois nouveaux centres ont ete ouverts courant 2024 dans les villes de Dolisie et NKayi au CONGO, ainsi qu'a Libreville au GABON

Seva Mandir's mission is to make real the idea of society consisting of free and equal citizens who are able to come together and solve the problems that affect them in their particular contexts. The commitment is to work for a paradigm of development and governance that is democratic and polyarchic. Seva Mandir seeks to institutionalise the idea that development and governance is not only to be left to the State and its formal bodies like the legislature and the bureaucracy, but that citizens and their associations should engage separately and jointly with the State. The mission briefly, is to construct the conditions in which citizens of plural backgrounds and perspectives can come together and deliberate on how they can work to benefit and empower the least advantaged in society.

Leveraging technology to end social injustices

Good governance ensures accountability, fairness, and transparency throughout our social, governmental, and business systems. On the African continent, women are underrepresented at every level in the workplace, especially in senior leadership roles. According to the UN, this type of unequal treatment of women in the workplace has cost Sub-Saharan Africa approximately $105bn and has significant implications on the utilization of the continents full human capital potential and achievement of its development goals. The Boardroom Africa was borne out of these realities. We champion female leadership on a pan-African level by building a network of women leaders who collectively dispel the myth that there aren't enough qualified women to support the growth of the continent. We help build role models at the top to change the way organizations are led through our educational content. We offer a board training program for women across the continent and to date, we've trained 64+ women. We also have built a community of over 1,000 women on the continent leading change and deliver open webinars, trainings, and meetups to upskill this network. Finally, we've conducted publicly released research on 13 African countries to assess the gender gap in their companies. We want to shift the demand by ensuring society realizes the benefits of increased female participation in leadership, and create an ecosystem of women who can go into the world and inspire others.

he World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) is an international non-governmental organisation representing and promoting approximately 70 million deaf people's human rights worldwide. The WFD is a federation of deaf organisations from 134 nations; its mission is to promote the human rights of deaf people and full, quality and equal access to all spheres of life, including self-determination, sign language, education, employment and community life. WFD has a consultative status in the United Nations and is a founding member of International Disability Alliance (IDA). At its recent World Congress in Jeju, South Korea, WFD members (136) approved the WFD strategic direction 2023-2030 and Action Plan 2023-2027. Important themes are covered in these 2 documents which strive to ensure that we create access for all deaf people to all ways of life in "a world where deaf people everywhere can sign anywhere" (vision). Furthermore, our mission is to work towards the full realisation of linguistic rights and human rights in all areas of life, with full recognition and implementation of these rights across local, national and international levels. To realise our mission and vision, the following are part of our Action Plan 2023-2027: Building Capacity across the Globe: ensuring increased participation of women, youth and underrepresented communities; provide effective capacity building projects to countries who are not yet members to assist them with creating their own national deaf associations so that they can represent themselves in their countries; Putting Deaf people on the Agenda: the WFD will continue to strive to put deaf human rights at the forefront of all representation internationally, including at the UN; we will effectively promote International Week of Deaf people and be ready to response to deaf people's needs in times of crises, disasters and war. Realising nothing about us without us: the WFD continues to be the leading authority for deaf people and sign languages and has committed to developing resources to assist deaf people raise awareness in their countries. Achieving Sign Language Rights for all: National sign languages are fundamental to achieving deaf people's human rights. We will aim to assist our member states in promoting the legal recognition of signed language in the country and advocate for early childhood language acquisition and inclusive multilingual education policies. Investing in a strong and sustainable organisation: to carry out our mission and vision we need greater investment in our secretariat and regional secretariat, expand our donor base, increase visibility and fundraising activities so that our organisation can carry on its important global work.
