CPD is committed to stopping violent conflict and creating more peaceful societies. For over 20 years we have been bringing together communities torn apart by violence and mistrust, helping people resolve their differences. We connect the views of people on the ground with political processes, and share learning so others can find alternatives to violent conflict.
Reducing extreme poverty in Somalia is a core pillar that defines our existence. Our poverty eradication programs target the ultra-poor families that are often neglected by the mainstream charities. We deploy comprehensive, time-bound, integrated and sequenced set of interventions that aim to enable the extreme and the ultra-poor families achieve key milestones towards sustainable livelihoods and socio-economic resilience, in order to progress along a pathway out of extreme poverty.
We are a catalyst who challenge the structural causes of the injustice of poverty, and work with partners locally and globally to create opportunities for people living in poverty to realize their full potential. A core component of our delivery approach is the emphasis on evidence-based inclusive programming, coupled with a strong focus on continuous learning.
We strive to link all our humanitarian, peace building and development interventions with the aim of~ maximizing their impacts with the very least resources. We believe that local actors like CPD are the critical agents necessary for advancing community-based approaches to local development and the general re-structuring of the current humanitarian and development architecture. It is this belief that informed CPD co-founding the Somali NEXUS Consortium– the first and only locally-led consortium in the country bringing together eight local actors from Somalia/Somaliland.
