At Davos 2025, Cintia Jaime represented ES VICIS Foundation, joining global leaders in conversations that challenged conventional thinking on inequality and inclusion. Her participation reinforced ES VICIS’s advocacy mission: ensuring that rural communities—home to nearly half of the world’s population—are not left behind in the global development agenda.
“Davos 2025 gave me more questions than answers—and that’s a good thing,” Cintia reflected. “How do we break the cycle of inequality if we keep relying on the same voices? How do we disrupt when fear holds so many back? And most importantly: How do we ensure rural communities aren’t sidelined?”
