Founded in 1990, the Center for Community Development and Research (CCODER) emerged from a simple yet powerful belief: sustainable development is possible when communities lead their own change. Guided by the motto “We are the masters of our own destiny,” CCODER has, for more than three decades, worked hand in hand with communities to build sustainable livelihoods, promote social inclusion, and safeguard the well-being of future generations. Our journey has been shaped by the resilience, wisdom, and aspirations of the people we serve. At CCODER, we believe that development is not something that is delivered from outside; rather, it is co-created through research, capacity building, and community-driven action. We remain committed to promoting solutions that are locally rooted, equitable, and sustainable. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to our beneficiaries for placing their trust in us; to our dedicated staff and volunteers, whose passion and professionalism form the foundation of our work; to our partners and donors, whose collaboration enables meaningful impact; and to our well-wishers, whose continued faith in our mission inspires us to move forward. As we look to the future, CCODER reaffirms its commitment to inclusive growth, social justice, and sustainable development. Together, let us continue to nurture hope, strengthen communities, and create opportunities that ensure dignity and well-being for all. With sincere gratitude and optimism,
