Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Ensure equitable land distribution and public investment that supports small-scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers and urban residents, whilst supporting smallholders as investors and producers, such as through cooperative and partnership business models.
2

Strong Small-Scale Farming Systems

Ensure that processes of decision-making over land are inclusive, so that policies, laws, procedures and decisions concerning land adequately reflect the rights, needs and aspirations of individuals and communities who will be affected by them. This requires the empowerment of those who otherwise would face limitations in representing their interests, particularly through support to land users' and other civil society organizations that are best able to inform, mobilize and legitimately represent marginalized land users, and their participation in multi-stakeholder platforms for policy dialogue.

Inclusive decision-making

Mission

In France, the Secours Populaire is mostly dedicated to social exclusion problems affecting children and poor families. In the rest of the world, the SPF works with local partners on development and education projects, including emergency scenarios. 

Started in 1945, the Secours Populaire Français (SPF) is a non-profit association which has been declared "Grande cause nationale" (great national cause) and is entitled to receive contributions, donations and bequests. We gather people of all opinions, conditions and origins, who wish to concretize and develop solidarity.

Objectives

The objectives of the SPF are to provide relief support to populations affected by insecurity, poverty, disasters and conflict; to access populations without restriction, providing primary health care, rehabilitation; and to support long-term development projects. Le Secours Populaire implements sustainable development programs in rural areas (food security, water and sanitation programs, education, and health). The organization also dvocates for gender equity, promoting women rights and helping girls to integrate into a social and professional life.

Constituencies

The constituencies of the SPF include children and poor families.
