Monaco Collectif Humanitaire In 2008, the Monegasque NGOs that are supported by the Monegasque Cooperation, joined forces under the name of «Monaco Collectif Humanitaire».

PUBLIC - PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS In line with the Millennium Declaration implemented by the United Nations General Assembly, encouraging the establishment of solid partnerships with the private sector in order to promote development and eradicate poverty, a public-private partnership commission was set up in September 2008 between the Office of International Cooperation and Monaco s Chamber of Economic Development (CDE).

Partnerships have already been formed with ten or so Monegasque companies.
