Supported by the French Development Agency and private donors, the "Territorialized Microproject Platform" program aims to structure, support, and strengthen the network of partners who carry out microprojects in all regions of France and the countries of intervention. By supporting projects in various areas of intervention such as education, health, the environment, and human rights, the program aims to contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established in 2015 by the United Nations.
Given the complexity and interconnectedness of global challenges, collaboration between stakeholders and strengthening partnerships are essential to achieving common goals. It is in this spirit that La Guilde strives to foster synergies between different stakeholders. Foundations, endowment funds, communities, experts, and volunteers—our collective commitment is a real lever for ensuring lasting social change.
The Solidarity Portal allows donors to be partners in a call for projects by co-financing it, it allows winning projects to be supported at La Guilde, thus benefiting from all the instruction and support of the associations upstream, and upstream and downstream of the financing.
We provide you with our technical and human expertise which will best guide project leaders and enable the most relevant initiatives to be financed.
Transparency and support for stakeholders are at the heart of the funding process. This is why all funding applications submitted receive a personalized opinion from international solidarity experts (positive points, areas for vigilance, recommendations) regarding their acceptance or rejection.
This educational objective allows associations to improve their project for its implementation or to present it in another call for projects.
The platform allows funders to track funded projects online through interim and final balance sheet submissions. This gives you access to project progress, challenges encountered, and best practices to capitalize on.
La Guilde's team regularly visits the field to monitor and evaluate funded projects at various stages of their progress. It also coordinates projects in certain areas of the world. On average, one-third of funded projects are evaluated in the field. These evaluations can also be conducted with various donors.
La Guilde's teams can take care of the administrative and financial management of your call for projects: agreements, payment of funds in several installments to the endowed associations, monitoring of disbursements, verification of invoices, etc.
Through its years of experience, La Guilde has acquired real knowledge in many themes of international solidarity and in the different contexts of implementation.
However, this would not have been possible without the expertise of its many technical partners who have voluntarily put their skills to work for microprojects over the years, whether through application development or specific technical support. This network of experts represents a gold mine for the associations we support, and we are committed to growing this pool of stakeholders.
