Glenroy Murray of the Human Dignity Trust guided participants through research findings on the feasibility of hate crime legislation in the Eastern Caribbean, exploring public attitudes and the evidence that can inform advocacy and policy discussions.

Lucien Govaard of ECADE & Jaevion Nelson of UNAIDS explored strategic advocacy & effective programme implementation, challenging participants to think about how evidence, community priorities & programmes can be transformed into meaningful policy change.

A strong campaign isn’t just about what you say, it’s also about where, how & to whom you say it. 📣 Dave-Ann of ECADE guided participants through understanding campaigns for change, exploring how choosing the right platforms can help organisations reach their target audiences.

Protecting our communities also means protecting their data. 🔐 As civil society organisations collect and manage sensitive information, strong digital security practices are essential to maintaining trust and keeping the communities we serve safe.

As technology continues to shape how we organize, communicate and advocate, one question remains critical: who is represented and who is being left behind? 💻🌍

Disaster preparedness must be inclusive to be effective. 🌍 For civil society and the marginalized communities we represent, resilience means ensuring that no one is overlooked before, during or after a disaster.

What happens when the vision is big, but the resources are limited? 💡 Across our Caribbean movements, we continue to prove that impact isn’t only driven by money. It is powered by creativity, collaboration, community and resourcefulness.

What would happen if your Executive Director resigned tomorrow? That was one of the questions Jaevion posed to participants during his session “Building Resilient Organisations: Strengthening Sustainability Beyond Individual Leaders.”

Building stronger, more resilient movements across the Caribbean. ECADE kicks off the capacity-strengthening workshop bringing together member organizations to build skills and explore strategies for developing resilient and sustainable organizations.
