COMMUNITIES AND PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS
In accordance with Law No. 2007-147 of 2 February 2007 relating to the external activities of local authorities and their groupings, the latter may, in compliance with France’s international commitments, enter into agreements with foreign local authorities to carry out humanitarian or development aid activities. If the urgency justifies it, local authorities and their groups can also implement or finance humanitarian actions.
Originally, the Oudin-Santini law (2005) allowed only support for actions carried out abroad in the fields of water and sanitation by actors in charge of public drinking water and sanitation. The Pintat amendment (2006) now allows actors in the public electricity and gas distribution service to devote up to 1% of their budget to actions in the field of public electricity and gas distribution abroad.
ASSOCIATIONS AND NGO
The partnership between associations often makes it possible to capitalise on the skills of the two players and thus to reinforce the effectiveness of our actions in the field.
The complementarity of all these players, such as local stakeholders, NGOs with expertise in a field, associations, etc. has proven to be an invaluable force. Electriciens sans frontières’ aim is to design and activate numerous partnerships because the efficiency gain has been proven.
