Empowering Change Through Solidarity 🌱 Real transformation begins with one powerful idea: #solidarity. In a world where #inequality, #poverty, and #climatechange affect millions, we work to encourage partnerships that empower communities to take control of their futures. On this International Human Solidarity Day, we reaffirm our commitment to building bridges and strengthening capacities. ✅ Strengthening #capacities: From empowering entrepreneurs in East Africa to equipping farmers in Latin America with climate-resilient skills, we work hand-in-hand with communities to build lasting resilience and opportunity. ✅ Driving #inclusion: Solidarity means ensuring that women, youth, and vulnerable groups are included in leadership, decision-making, and economic growth. ✅ Promoting #sustainability: Together with our local partners, we support ecological farming practices and promote sustainable market access, proving that business growth and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. We co-create ecosystems of change. Each of our projects expresses #solidarity across borders, cultures, and challenges. #CapacityBuilding #SustainableDevelopment #InclusiveGrowth #TriasImpact

Global challenges like climate change, pandemics, and conflicts are escalating, and the need for international cooperation has never been greater. Yet, #Belgium invests only 0.44% of its #GNI in international solidarity—far below the agreed United Nations target of 0.7%. These challenges don’t just impact low-income countries—they threaten global stability, including Belgium. Rising energy prices, pandemics, and climate crises show how interconnected our world is. Without sufficient funding, the risk of poverty, inequality, and conflicts grows, with far-reaching consequences for everyone. Together with 11.11.11, CNCD-11.11.11, and over 120 Belgian leaders from diverse sectors, we’ve made a powerful call to action. In an opinion piece published in De Morgen and Le Soir, we urge Belgium to prioritize international development cooperation. Read more : https://lnkd.in/eB44CP3T

✨ Inclusion Begins with Connection: Insights from Trias Connects Trias Connects brought Belgian partners to the Dominican Republic to learn from Dominican partners' inclusive and sustainable practices. Here are some key takeaways: ✅ Inclusion goes beyond cultural diversity – gender, age, and socio-economic background also play a significant role. ✅ Recognizing privileges is essential to better understand and address obstacles to Inclusion. ✅ Innovation drives change – Young people in the Dominican Republic are using drones to make the agricultural sector more sustainable and efficient. ✅ Strong leadership programs, like those of our colleagues and Dominican partners, are a powerful tool to empower women, youth, and vulnerable groups. Participants gained tons of inspiration for their organizations. But Trias Connects doesn't stop at inspiration alone. Trias continues to guide Belgian partners in prioritizing inclusion further and giving concrete shape to their trajectories.
