CNCD 11.11.11

The National Center for Development Cooperation (CNCD-11.11.11) coordinates the voice of more than 70 Belgian international solidarity NGOs and thousands of volunteers around three missions:

  1. organize Operation 11.11.11 each year to finance more than 200 development programs in poor countries in the Global South;
  2. coordinate campaigns to raise awareness among the Belgian population of the issues of global citizenship and solidarity;
  3. challenge political leaders through advocacy work.

CAMPAIGNS

The citizen mobilizations and political advocacy coordinated by the CNCD-11.11.11 aim to promote credible alternatives for a just and sustainable world:

  • food sovereignty, to guarantee the right to food for all;
  • tax justice, to eradicate global inequalities;
  • gender equality, to end gender discrimination;
  • decent work, to ensure decent working conditions and incomes for workers in both the South and the North;
  • climate justice, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote adaptation to climate change in poor countries;
  • migration justice, so that everyone can live decently where they were born and, if necessary, where they migrate;
  • fair and sustainable trade, to ensure compliance with social and environmental standards by transnational firms;
  • aid effectiveness and policy coherence for development, so that the international policies of donor countries reinforce the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

AN EDUCATIONAL OFFER FOR ALL AUDIENCES

As part of its awareness-raising action through education for global and solidarity citizenship, the CNCD-11.11.11 offers training, events and educational tools on subjects such as climate change, food, migration or inequality.

Interactive or role-playing games, quizzes, exhibitions, documentaries, educational brochures… The tools are aimed at all ages and all audiences.

11.11.11 

11.11.11 is the coalition for international solidarity. In Flanders (Dutch speaking part of Belgium) we bring together about 60 NGOs, unions, movements and various solidarity groups and more than 20.000 volunteers to make change happen. We are part of a worldwide network who joins efforts to achieve one common goal: a fair world without exploitation. Because together we are stronger than alone.

11.11.11 strives for global justice. A world in which social, civil, political, cultural and economic rights are realized for everyone within the limits of the planet. A global system in which the socio-economic inequality is reduced, the relationship between mankind and nature is in balance and democratic values are guaranteed. That is our vision of the future.

International solidarity will accelerate the transition to a global fair system. We advocate, facilitate and put international solidarity into practice. 11.11.11 is thereby driven by values of human dignity, solidarity, equality and integrity.
11.11.11 sees different leverages in the pursuit of international solidarity. Policy work, building a strong movement, collaboration, the awareness of the ‘shared interest’, the deployment of different parties involved and innovative and result-oriented work.
