About the sponsor

GRET

Founded in 1976, Gret is an international development NGO governed by French law that works in the political sphere to provide sustainable and innovative solutions for the challenges of poverty and inequality. Gret is a professional NGO, through its vision of the development sector that it wants to enhance with innovative knowledge and solutions, through the involvement of populations in the Global South which it considers to be players for development, and through its practices. Considering that working towards development requires a global and multi-disciplinary approach, Gret is involved in seven areas: Agriculture (affiliates and agricultural policies), Citizenship and democracy, Drinking water and purification and waste, Management of natural resources and energy, Microfinance and professional integration, Health (nutrition and social protection), Cities for all, and decentralisation. Most of the work Gret carries out involves field projects. Through expert analysis, network facilitation, and the production of references derived from its practices, it shares its knowledge and influences practices and policies for fairer development on a local and global level, from villages to international authorities.
