The grouping of Atlas Logistique and Handicap International
For several years, Atlas Logistique, a French NGO specializing in logistics and technical support, and Handicap International have shared a common vision of the issues that NGOs will face in the future. The two organizations have long worked together on emergency humanitarian and reconstruction programs.
As the two NGOs have complementary skills, resources and geographical coverage, Atlas Logistique and Handicap International decided to formalize their collaboration in 2005 by pooling their skills and resources. This merger has resulted in the creation of a new a Relief Department within Handicap International in 2006.
This is an important stage in the history of both NGOs as it means that both their humanitarian aid and development cooperation work will be carried out more effectively. Together they will be able to:
- take further action to defend an independent humanitarian space that guarantees access to victims and the right to impartial assistance.
- enhance their capacity for emergency action through faster reaction times and wider geographic coverage.
- consolidate work carried out amongst disaster victims and people who are displaced or become refugees as a result of conflicts.
- ensure greater continuity between emergency and development work.
