An international solidarity organisation uniting activist professionals, GRET is a non-profit association that obtains most of its resources from contracts. Created 25 years ago around appropriate technologies, GRET has always placed (and continues to place) considerable emphasis on experience analysis and documentation and communication for development, in particular through its publications. We have been developing field projects for a dozen years that are systematically undertaken in partnership with local organisations or that lead to the creation of such organisations. Today, these projects represent two-thirds of our activities. Through network moderation and support for development and cooperation contracting authorities, we also contribute to elaborating public policies in developed and developing countries.



We work for fair and sustainable development through projects and programmes that aim to increase the incomes of rural and urban populations, reduce their vulnerability, improve their access to infrastructures and quality utilities, and strengthen their ability to be heard. We support local intermediary practitioners that share this ambition. Our activities endeavour to combine commitment, quality, and the constraints of the aid system.
