In the D.R. Congo, Trias works with nine partner organisations in three different areas: Kinshasa, Bas-Congo and Maï Ndombe. All of these are service organisations, two of which (Mbongwana in Bas-Congo and Prefed in Maï Ndombe) work to support and strengthen farmer organisations by helping their members to access markets and promote their interests.

Five partners are concerned with microfinance services: Coopecmakin, Mec Idece Kinshasa, Mec idece Nioki, Mec Bonsangani and Coocec ceac. Two other partners, CEP and CADEM, provide technical support.

From 2011 onwards, Trias also works directly together with the farmers organization Repam and the cocoa coop Cocama in Bas-Congo.
