The Netherlands
Solidaridad the Netherlands was established in 1969. For many years, we worked at building sustainable supply chains worldwide from our office in Utrecht. In 2008 an organizational change was initiated: Solidaridad started to build up a global network with 9 regional expertise centres (RECs).
Solidaridad network
The aim of the Solidaridad network is to shift the centre of gravity of our organization to the South. Projects are no longer coordinated from the Netherlands. Policymaking is jointly done by the 9 RECs. The implementation of that policy is better underpinned by the knowledge and experience of the local REC teams.
Solidaridad the Netherlands focuses on market linkage in the North, development of certification standards, fundraising and campaigning to raise awareness for a sustainable global economy. It has a fundraising- and campaigning-website focussing on a Dutch targetgroup.
