Emergency aid
Thanks to the involvement of the
Group’s employees and expertise in
logistics, the Carrefour Foundation
aims to assist victims of natural
or industrial disasters as well as those
who are extremely vulnerable.
Fund-raising, product collections in
stores including various donations and
other forms of financing, all form part
of meeting the essential needs of those
affected.
User guide
to a project
Initiated and implemented by local
non-profit associations, selected
projects have to correspond to the
missions of the Carrefour Foundation,
centred on food solidarity
and emergency aid.
Selection
Applications for funding are assessed by the
Carrefour team in the country concerned,
using a set of objective criteria, before then
being transferred to the Carrefour Foundation
for consideration.
Funding
The Foundation, in collaboration with the
local team, defines the financial, technical
and material support needed for the project
to be implemented successfully. The project
is then submitted to the Board for approval.
An agreement is then signed with the local
association to finalise the objectives, and the
provisional budget allocated.
Assistance
Each country management team is respon
sible for implementing the project correctly. It
sets up procedures for regular monitoring and
evaluation, free of any commercial interest.
Evaluation
The Foundationmakes sure that the resources
allocatedarebeingwellusedandthattheexpected
outcomes are being achieved. A final assessment
measures the impact of the programme and
determines whether it should be followed up or
re-oriented in themediumor long term.
