In winter 2005, the charity Médecins du Monde began distributing tents to homeless people in Paris. The aim was not only to provide shelter, but by the tents' high visibility to raise public awareness. Médecins du Monde handed out about 300, and sympathizers gave away some 200 more. Tents sprang up around the city, some in popular tourist spots.
In August 2006, the French government pledged US$9.2 million for emergency housing in the capital.
The Develop programs include the 6x6 Global Talent Program, the African Photojournalism Database, and the Joop Swart Masterclass.
