KARAMA

Supporting the resilience and reintegration of women who have suffered violence in North Africa

 
Worldwide, one woman in three suffers violence in her lifetime. Sometimes invisible and often taboo, the after-effects of violence are numerous (physical, economic, psychosocial, procreative and sexual), plunging victims into extreme vulnerability. Combined with other discriminations (class, origin, race [...]) and a lack of adequate public services, women struggle to find the resources to escape this vicious circle.
 
These constraints common to humanity do not spare southern Mediterranean countries despite social movements and changes in legislation. Initiated in 2018, the Karama project supports several multidisciplinary schemes to accompany women at every stage of their journey (accommodation, listening, psychological, legal, administrative support and access to healthcare). They also have access to vocational training and support for their (re)integration, necessary for real individual emancipation.
 
As their trajectories take place in an environment that trivializes violence, our partners also raise public awareness. At the same time, they carry out preventive actions aimed at governmental and/or associative players involved, directly or indirectly, in their care.

SAARA

Sharing our knowledge, strengthening our actions

Since the 90’s, Algerian organizations are very committed around the questions of access to rights for the most vulnerable people, especially in the social field. Progressively, they have built a real ‘savoir-faire’ and reliability in the eyes of the populations and local authorities.

Nevertheless, these organizations are often still not involved in local development politics and they have difficulties sustaining their actions in the long term.

SAARA project aims at promoting Algerian organizations’ key role and encouraging their integration into local dialogue process.

FORM’Algérie

Empowering Algerian organizations

During Algeria’s black decade (the 90’s), the associative movement was very much weakened. For the past ten years, the civil society organisations are making their voices heard again, and many others have emerged in the social field. Their actions are essential to face the urgent issues on the field, even though they often don’t last because of volunteers’ turnover and lack of resources.

Through the FORM’Algérie project, we provide training intended for civil society organisations. Throughout the first project’s period, young associative managers were trained to become trainers as well. Today, they are able to train other organisations working in their respective local area (Adrar, Algiers, Akbou, Constantine, El Oued and Oran).

Achieved in February 2016, those actions continue through the SAARA project.

INNOV'Asso

Supporting young people towards associative sector jobs

In Algeria, the 18-35 years-old generations represent 70% of the national population and are much more affected by unemployment than the older generations. Almost 1 over 4 young people don’t have a job, even though the unemployment rate of the entire active population is about 10%. Poverty and the informal economy are increasing whereas the associative sector’s potential in terms of professional integration is still unknown and underestimated by young Algerian people.

However, working within civil society organizations demands many skills (administrative and financial management, project coordination, socio-educative mediation…) that can serve a lot of business fields like renewable energies, professional training, digital technologies, tourism, sports and leisure or even health. Those activity sectors have been identified as priorities by the Algerian government and they are precisely the activity sectors Algerian organizations have invested. Identified by the Algerian government as priority sectors for employment, these sectors are precisely the ones in which numerous Algerian associations are most renowned for.

In partnership with the GRDR and two local organizations, we have been working since 2016 to support local initiatives in Oran and Khenchela. We have notably working on the creation of a toolkit on associative jobs and a directory for organizations. This approach aims at clarifying professional opportunities in the associative sector and at promoting its different jobs for young people and the Algerian employment structures.
