Humanité & inclusion
Country : France
Year of establishment : 1982
The Handicap International network, renamed Humanity & Inclusion in 2018, has been operating since 1982 in more than 60 countries to respond to emergencies, improve living conditions and defend the rights of people with disabilities or in vulnerable situations. Its missions include rehabilitation, mental health, inclusive education, humanitarian demining and international advocacy. A Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 1997 for its role in the campaign to ban landmines, the NGO develops innovative solutions: 3D-printed prosthetics, lightweight exoskeletons, accessible navigation apps. It advocates at the UN to embed universal accessibility in public policies. Guided by principles of humanity and impartiality, HI places dignity, community participation and violence prevention at the heart of its programs, while ensuring financial transparency and reducing the carbon footprint of field operations.
For Handicap International, the goal was to identify and activate corporate philanthropy and skills-based partnerships that are useful on the ground and consistent with the humanitarian mission, without exposing the organization to reputational risks. Trois Actes conducted a 12-week intermediation mission guided by “Humanité & inclusion”. After strategic framing, the agency built a mapping of 41 stakeholders and carried out 18 targeted approaches. Trois Actes supported negotiation, formalization of deliverables and the preparation of activation scenarios. Governance was secured through regular check-ins and a dashboard. At the end of the mission, two structuring partnerships were finalized, with a roadmap to consolidate the relationship and prepare future opportunities.
