The ‘Learning and Innovating in the Face of Crises’ (APIC) project was designed and implemented by Groupe URD to support French and French-speaking NGOs through three successive phases between 2016 and 2026. It aims to strengthen the capacities, practices and collaborative dynamics of organisations involved in responding to crises and situations of vulnerability, both in France and internationally.
Over the past 10 years, the APIC project has addressed various themes (including aid quality and accountability, the link between emergency, rehabilitation and development, environmental considerations and the localisation of aid) through a variety of operational methods.
The study of the effects and impact made it possible to analyse and document the evolution of the project, the coherence of its approach, and above all the contributions made to the French and French-speaking non-profit sector. It focused on the direct effects of the activities carried out, but also on the indirect effects, the deeper dynamics of change and the systemic impacts to which the project contributed.
It is based on a Change-Oriented Approach (COA) and relies mainly on the Outcome Harvesting methodology.
