On April 15, 1965, Fr. Barbieri founded COOPI. This is where a 50-year journey begins, during which COOPI and Italian international cooperation with all the many voices will grow and become together. But the history of COOPI begins before 1965, as early as 1961 when the young Jesuit Vincenzo Barbieri was sent by his superiors to study in Lyons at the Faculty of Theology, in view of a future departure for Chad as a missionary. In France, he meets a much more lively and open cultural environment than the one that permeated the Italian province in the years preceding the Second Vatican Council and comes into contact with international lay movements engaged for years in voluntary work in developing countries. In 1962 Barbieri refused to leave as a missionary and returned to Milan with the intention of training volunteers ready to leave for the south of the world. It is he who introduces the lay component into the missions.

Finn Church Aid (FCA) focuses its actions on strengthening the education sector, for example by providing children access to school and developing the quality of education. After the 2010 earthquake, FCA has constructed over 340 temporary learning spaces and 14 permanent schools. In 2015 and 2016, FCA will build an additional 10 permanent schools with its local partner and the Haitian Ministry of Education.
All schools built by Finn Church Aid are earthquake resistant and constitute a safe learning environment for the children. The schools have been built in the most devastated regions of the 2010 earthquake. FCA has also provided the schools with supplies, kitchens, water and sanitation. To strengthen the administration and quality of education, school committees have been established in the schools with school directors, teachers, students, parents and the surrounding community as members.
We support teacher training in human rights, gender equality and children’s rights. We also provide first aid training and help schools and communities to prepare for future disasters.

Founded in 1993, Groupe URD is an independent institute specialized in humanitarian and post-crisis practices and policies .
Initially a dialogue group between development and emergency actors - who intervene differently but whose action is often intermingled in the field - Groupe URD has made it possible to:
Confronting points of view and experiences;
Create a dialogue, and better understand the new crises, new contexts and new field issues that were developing in the post-Cold War world;
Think about the possible and even necessary linkages between different types of actors.
It was then structured in 1997 in its current form of association law 1901 to go further in its mandate. Its role today is to support the actors in the process of improving the quality of programs by carrying out evaluation , research , training and methodological support activities.
In order to act as closely as possible in the field and to promote lessons learned, Groupe URD sets up observatories of aid practices in crisis contexts , as in the past in Haiti, Chad and Afghanistan.
