Abstract
The speech will in a first time set out the essential elements of the program “Pauvreté 3” (“Poverty 3”) what began 1989. These elements constituted the basis of the intervention’ strategy towards destitute publics in the Doubs French department.
The approach was definitely different from the precedent used for setting up insertion’s actions, what consisted in bringing together different persons or groups conceiving actions on the basis of their own competences. The project asserted the necessity to take into account demand and needs of population in order to carry out a pragmatic and adapted to demand intervention.In order to be sure that this new approach would be carried out with rigor and objectivity, the project took the University of Franche Comté as a partner.
In a second time, we will describe the method used, structured with data collection, confrontation between requirements and local answers and the constitution of concerted action on the basis of listed requirements.
Finally, thank to experience led, we will be able to bring indication on the interest of this method, for users, people involved in the insertion, institutions and elected representatives.
