Call for expression of interest for Environmental Support

As part of the ‘Learning and innovating in the face of crises’ (APIC) project, funded by the AFD, the Monegasque Cooperation, the Fondation de France and the Rhône-Alpes Region, Groupe URD has the opportunity to support organisations in the solidarity sector in their internal improvement initiatives related to environmental issues. This support is not a service or outsourcing but is intended to back up an initiative led by the organisation to which the Groupe URD can contribute through methodological, technical or strategic support.

For example, this support can help facilitate discussions on ecological transition, develop or revise internal policies, develop dedicated tools, calculate or monitor carbon footprints, draw up an environmental action plan, etc. It is recommended that the subject of the support be clearly defined and that the scope of the project be limited in order to facilitate the achievement of results.

For this support, Groupe URD will provide a resource person for a maximum of 12 days, subject to the following three criteria:

1. Mutual cooperation – the organisation identifies a person to act as a focal point throughout the support phase and who works with Groupe URD’s resource person for an equivalent number of days;
2. Formal cooperation – A partnership agreement is signed to specify expectations;
3. Public cooperation – The results or lessons learned from this cooperation are shared with other organisations in the sector to facilitate collective learning.

The support must be provided over a maximum period of six months. The implementation dates are flexible: support may begin no earlier than 15 June 2025 and must end no later than 31 August 2026.

Deadline for applications: 15 May 2025.
