CDA is a non-profit organization that helps national and international actors working in conflict-affected areas to improve the relevance, effectiveness, and accountability of their actions. 

For 30 years, CDA has been a strong voice on local leadership, critically reflecting on aid effectiveness and accountability to affected populations. As an independent, catalytic partner of humanitarian, peacebuilding, and development practitioners, CDA facilitates collaborative learning processes that listen deeply and generate practical evidence, frameworks, and policy guidance for lasting change.
