On February 27, we are celebrating World NGO Day*: an opportunity to highlight the generosity and commitment of the French. But also to remind that our organizations have a significant weight in the economic and social dynamics of the country and the world. With less than two months to go before the presidential elections, Planète Enfants & Développement joins the Generosity Coalition to put forward concrete proposals for the development of missions for the common good.
"Effective generosity that transforms the country"
Nearly 8.5 billion donations, 20 million volunteers, 2 million employees... the trust of the French people carries a chain of actors who, for decades, have not been satisfied with "repairing the fractures of the world". It also actively participates in the progress and innovation of our society (in medical and health research, the environment, social progress...)
Often a laboratory for public policies, complementary and even a partner of the public authorities, our sector is nevertheless not listened to enough by elected officials.
