We had an intense and productive day of discussions yesterday at the VII Regional Conference on Trilateral Cooperation! More than 100 participants from over 15 countries joined us in person, with many more participating online. My key takeaways from the day: 🔔Local engagement is essential for achieving sustainable development outcomes. Trilateral cooperation promotes horizontal relationships, peer learning, and the sharing of knowledge and expertise. This approach fosters southern-led development and helps shift the narrative within the development cooperation community. 🔔Despite significant progress, there's still much untapped potential in this modality. On the other hand, the debate and engagement in Latin America and the Caribbean have advanced remarkably over the past decades. The region boasts numerous successful examples, capacity-building experiences, and innovative financing mechanisms, making it ready to share its expertise with the world. The second day is now underway! Stay tuned for more insights and discussions 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ePcTyAak Christof Kersting Alice Guimaraes Wofsi Yuri Guimarães de Souza GIZ Brasil Agência Brasileira de Cooperação (ABC) OECD Development Dima Al-Khatib United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)

"For Romania to innovate in a rigid development system, it needs to remain open to learning from the past and partner countries. It should broker multi-sector partnerships, nurture genuine leadership among individuals, institutions, and organizations, and focus on enhancing its relations with partner countries. Learning together can build more equal partnerships." In our latest post from the European Development Policy series, Făgăraș Research Institute's Stefan Cibian, PhD discusses the challenges and potential of Romanian development policy #Romania #Developmentpolicy https://lnkd.in/eXZRycBs

Today, August 9th, we celebrate International Indigenous Peoples Day / the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, and the completion of the second mission in Ecuador. The last workshop was on Cosmovision and Intercultural Dialogue. It was facilitated by the Ecuador national expert Angel Medina and delved into the diverse and rich histories and cosmovisions of Indigenous Peoples grounded in the teachings of interconnectedness through Pachamama/Mother Earth. It explored how European contact and colonization has impacted Indigenous Peoples and gender inclusivity. Nations and communities continue to uphold these sacred cosmovision teachings, which are also incorporated in the national and regional political bodies and organizations that also represent Indigenous Peoples and nationalities in Ecuador. After an open and candid dialogue around key concepts, historical and modern misunderstandings, and current and future opportunities; government officials underscored the importance of increasing intercultural dialogue to foster shared understandings, develop participatory processes for greater outcomes for their collective work. The final day concluded with personal reflections and planning the road map ahead to be undertaken by the Ministry of Government in the short, medium and long term. Participants were keen to share their learnings and disseminate the training materials to support greater understanding of the human rights of Indigenous Peoples and strengthen participatory processes. The Closing Ceremony included course certificates, gift exchanges, and remarks from representatives from the Embassy of Canada, the Ministry of Government, and the Alinea Technical Experts (Lea Nicholas-MacKenzie, Angel, and myself). This has been an incredible international initiative for strengthening technical capacity and sharing knowledge. Recognition and thank you to Ministerio de Gobierno del Ecuador, Alinea International and Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada Affairs Canada for this opportunity.  For more on TAP www.tap-pat.ca #TACanada #technicalassistance #FIAP #Ecuador #humanrights #IndigenousPeoplesDay #IndigenousRights #MMIWG #climatechange
