11.11.11 - Coalition for International Solidarity (formerly NCOS) is a Belgian pluralist non-governmental organization for international solidarity. It joins the forces of 60 organizations[1], and approximately 20,000 volunteers in 330 local groups. Together they fight for a world without exploitation of people and nature.
Every year around November 11, a national campaign is conducted around a global theme. With the proceeds, 11.11.11 provides financial support to programs and organizations that stand up for global justice and stimulates mutual consultation to increase their impact. Various non-governmental organizations expressly come together to better focus policy on global inequality. Some political demands:
- climate justice and a just transition,
- a fair migration policy,
- fair taxation and debt relief for the poorest countries,
- at least 0.7% of the GNP for development cooperation.
History[edit]
On April 26, 1966, the National Center for Development Cooperation (NCOS) / Center National de Coopération au Développement (CNCD) was founded from four committees: the Belgian Committee for the Overseas Voluntariat, the Belgian Committee for the Fight against Hunger, the National Committee for Reception and the Belgian Committee for Aid to Refugees with Paul-Henri Spaak as its first chairman. The non-profit association was created as a technical secretariat to organize cooperation between the four committees, which were themselves umbrella organizations. The general members meeting consisted of twelve people, ten of whom sat on the board of directors. They all came from one of the affiliated organizations and are considered the founders of the NCOS.
On November 11, 1966, the first 11.11.11 action took place under the wings of the newly established NCOS.[2] The name 11.11.11 is inspired on 11 November (11th month) at 11 am, the moment of the armistice in the First World War.
In 1972, the national center was expanded to include separate NGOs for development cooperation, youth movements and adult organizations and the "Docent" documentation center. In 1977, as a result of federalization, the unitary NCOS-CNCD was reformed into the French-speakingth CNCD and the Flemish NCOS. Both wings of the unitary non-profit organization became separate organizations with their own legal entity. "NCOS-Vlaanderen vzw" was founded on November 25, 1980 next to the Centre national de coopération au développement, after which the name 11.11.11 gradually gained importance. Since 2007, the name NCOS is no longer used on the Dutch-speaking side; the name was officially changed to Koepel van Noord-Zuidbeweging 11.11.11 vzw.[2] In 2021 a new name change followed to Koepel van Internationale Solidariteit, 11.11.11 vzw. In 2023, the organization underwent a rebranding and received a new logo.
