Groupe D'Appui A L'Autopromotion DES Enterprises A Cooperatif Character (Gapec) is a non-profit organization registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with a focus on community development and humanitarian assistance. The organization appears to specialize in providing support and economic empowerment to vulnerable populations, particularly in African regions. Registered as an "Other Not For Profit Organization," Gapec has demonstrated a commitment to implementing targeted grant-funded projects that aim to improve social and economic conditions for marginalized communities.

Gapec has secured multiple federal grant awards from civilian agencies, specifically the Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration and the Bureau of African Affairs. These grants focus on critical humanitarian and economic development initiatives, such as improving income-generating capacities for Nigerian refugees and refugee-returnees, particularly widowed individuals and those living with disabilities. Another significant grant project involves empowering women and girls through vocational training and supporting income-generating activities, including peanut oil extraction. The Self-Help Fund grant further underscores the organization's mission by providing small, short-term grants to community groups working to enhance basic economic and social conditions. The grant awards, ranging from October 2023 to March 2025, demonstrate Gapec's ongoing commitment to community-based development and support for vulnerable populations in African regions, with a particular emphasis on women's economic empowerment and refugee assistance.
