"Electriciens sans frontières stepped in to help the development of an electrical education facility."

Ibou Diame
Following our request, Electriciens sans frontières intervened in several areas for the Diofior's professional Training centre in Senegal. In order to help in the development of a vocational training course for electricians and, within the framework of our partnerships, theoretical and practical training in electricity were implemented. The NGO also provided material for the centres, essential for the students' learning. .

Since 2007, the date of signature of the first partnership agreement between our two organisations, no less than 180 joint projects have seen the light of day in 35 countries.

Laurent Tardif
In 2016, we made our commitment to Electriciens sans frontières permanent through a three-year contract to supply the electrical cables for the projects being carried out. Through Electriciens sans frontières we enable remote areas and their populations to access energy, thus giving them the opportunity to develop independently. Prysmian Group is strongly committed worldwide to supporting activities that improve access to energy and communications. Our commitment to Electriciens sans frontières is part of that aim.

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS

Under Law No. 2007-147 of February 2, 2007, on the foreign activities of local governments and their associations, these entities may, in accordance with France’s international commitments, enter into agreements with foreign local authorities to carry out cooperation or development assistance initiatives. If an emergency warrants it, local authorities and their associations may also implement or finance humanitarian initiatives.

Originally, the Oudin-Santini Act (2005) allowed support only for initiatives carried out abroad in the areas of water and sanitation by entities responsible for public drinking water and sanitation services. The Pintat Amendment (2006) now allows public electricity and gas distribution utilities to allocate up to 1% of their budget to initiatives in the field of public electricity and gas distribution carried out abroad.
