On 8 February 2024, the Province of Liège became the first Dementia-Friendly Province in Belgium, making official a partnership that has existed for many years, with the Belgian Ligue Alzheimer. The "Ami Démence" network, already available to towns and municipalities, has now been extended to the Provinces of Belgium, and Liège is the first to sign the "Province Amie Démence" charter. Belgium's government structure involves different levels of power, and the Provinces have specific characteristics that towns and cities do not. The aim is therefore to obtain greater support in terms of awareness-raising, information, prevention and promotion, so as "not to forget those who forget".
