Consultancy: Strengthening Internal Capacities to Prevent and Address Fraud, Corruption and SEA

SOLIDARITES International is a non-profit and humanitarian organization founded in 1980 and working in areas of conflict and natural disasters. Its main aim is to provide quick and effective support for people in life-threatening situations by meeting their vital needs: water, sanitation, food security and shelter. After responding to emergencies by supplying assistance directly to those in need, we help vulnerable people until they regain their livelihoods and the autonomy needed to tackle the challenges of an uncertain future with dignity.
