Prosperous communities in which everyone benefit from sustainable livelihoods and high quality basic services, while participating in the decision-making process.
Our mission is to help vulnerable people of Afghanistan and contribute in reduction of poverty through community led intervention.
CDDO should continuously seek creative solutions to complex problems, whether through technology, community engagement, or new service delivery methods.
Upholding the highest standards of ethics fosters trust among beneficiaries, donors, and partners. Transparency in operations and decision-making is crucial.
Engaging local populations in the planning and implementation of projects ensures that initiatives are relevant and sustainable
Striving for perfection means implementing best practices in program design, execution, and evaluation to achieve the best possible outcomes.
CDDO have played a critical role in providing emergency aid, including food, shelter, and medical care, especially during conflicts and natural disasters. Their efforts have helped mitigate the immediate suffering of vulnerable populations.
Through vocational training, and livelihood programs, CDDO help communities develop sustainable economic practices. This empowers individuals, particularly women, to start businesses and improve their economic conditions.
By involving local communities in development projects, CDDOs foster a sense of ownership and sustainability. They often focus on infrastructure projects, such as clean water and sanitation, which improve quality of life.
Despite their contributions, CDDOs in Afghanistan face numerous challenges, including security risks, funding constraints, and restrictive government policies. The political environment can hinder their operations and impact.
