Local Socio-Economic Initiatives




Launched in 1995, the Socio-Economic Program represents a long-term commitment by Yadana project participants to the local communities, with a focus on health care, education and economic development.

In addition to health care, education is one of the priority areas targeted by Total in the socio-economic support programs it implements for projects around the world. Health and education are considered as fundamental human rights essential to ensuring that other rights are enjoyed fully.

The program was defined and implemented through ongoing dialogue with the villagers and is being carried out in the spirit of sustainable development, with the goal of encouraging activities that the villagers can pursue themselves. The following pages present different aspects of the program as it is applied in the pipeline region:

Medical and health care.
Education.
Support for economic development.
