About us

DISOP, Dienst voor Internationale Samenwerking aan
Ontwikkelings Projecten or Organisation for International Co-operation on Development Projects, is a Belgian private non-stock, non-profit organisation established in 1961 and recognised as a Non-Governmental Organisation for Development Aid. In the course of the years, DISOP managed to build up a firm and dynamic supportive group in Belgium as well as in other parts of the world.

DISOP considers itself as:

• an instrument of solidarity among nations.
• a contribution to the development of less advantaged nations in the world.

DISOP‘s strategy is based on three pillars:

• a relation of confidence, based on the respect for and the capacity of nations to word their own priorities. DISOP’s starting point is the local demand.
• an integrated approach based on the human being and his (social, economical, cultural and ecological) environment.
• the development of networks of exchange of know-how and synergies.

Within the present social framework, characterised by social exclusion, a consequence of the lacking social management of the globalisation and the technological evolution, DISOP’s approach is based on the concept of the “employability”, the capability of people to practise and to keep practising a job (ILO – Geneva)
