Evaleo is an international non-profit organisation with the goal to inspire and enable people to adopt an active, healthy, and fulfilling lifestyle. To achieve this, we carry out a mission of education, development, and active promotion.
We are a worldwide alliance of experts, professionals, and partners, federated around the common vision of sustainable health and well-being for everyone, and acting together through the implementation of programmes and interventions aimed at generating positive impacts.
Through our programmes, accompaniment services, shared resources, tools, best practices, certification schemes, and events, we act as a real interface between the needs identified among populations and the stakeholders, and contribute to the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Life and development are at the heart of our work, and in everything we do, we seek to maintain cohesion between:
Needs and resources of each individual
Coherence between individual needs and the needs and resources of collectives and the society
Human and long-term environmental needs and resources
Integrated solutions
We operate primarily in the area of governance for well-being and sustainable health and favour multi-partner and multi-sectoral approaches at the level of governments, regions, cities, organisations, and individuals to together develop, design, improve, evaluate, and implement sustainable and tailored initiatives.
International policy
We participate in the development of international policies with global actors such as UNESCO and WHO. These include the Kazan Action Plan « Foundation of the Global Framework for Leveraging Sport for Development and Peace » and the WHO Global Action Plan 2018-2030 for the promotion of Physical Activity.
