The International Committee for the Development of Peoples (CISP) is a civil society organisation that has been engaged in international cooperation and the fight against social exclusion since 1983.

Project

From emergency response to long-term development, our commitment translates into over 100 active projects every year across more than 30 countries. This section showcases our most significant recent interventions, selected to demonstrate the multidisciplinary approach and effectiveness of the strategies we adopt to combat global poverty and inequality.

Support us

From psychological support to food distribution, from the creation of development policies to health care, we are at the side of those in need and adapt our interventions to the material and cultural conditions of each person.
