SECODEV, COOPERATION AU DEVELOPPEMENT

The Association aims to sustainably improve the living conditions and development of the most disadvantaged populations, or those in emergency situations, in countries in South America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. It is independent of any political party or religious affiliation. The values guiding its actions are: respect for human rights, respect for cultures and beliefs, solidarity with the most vulnerable and disadvantaged, sustainable development, rigor and transparency in management, and autonomy of local communities. To achieve its objectives, the Association implements programs and projects in countries of its choice in collaboration with local partners. It also carries out information, awareness-raising, and fundraising activities, particularly in Geneva and Switzerland, as deemed useful. The duration of the Association is indefinite.
