Center for Community Development and Research
CCODER’s approach to development is rooted in community participation, self-determination, and long-term sustainability. We believe that people, when empowered with knowledge, skills, and opportunity, can shape their own future.
To improve access of quality education and bridging the gap of city education.
To support sustainable livelihoods and income generating activities, delivering skills and generating entrepreneurship.
To enhance awareness on preventive health care, hygiene, nutrition and sanitation.
To collaborate with government bodies, local authorities, strengthening community participation,
To enhance Economic and Social Development through Micro–Industries/Enterprises and effecting marketing network.
People are the prime source/power for bringing changes of time.
Community participation is fundamental for socio-economic development.
Collaboration and cooperation with local government and stakeholders for sustainable development.
Promoting long-term self-reliant development through local ownership and responsible use of resources.
CCODERs Tripod model of Development aims to create a “Total Human Development” approach. In order to fulfill this, CCODER first helps a community establish its own supportive and collaborative infrastructure and through formations of Community Development Committees and then through its promotion of Socio-Economic Activities. The Socio-Economic Activities include:
Focuses on strengthening education systems, health services, sanitation, environmental protection, and essential community infrastructure.
Saving and credit (Community Bank), Income Generating activities /micro enterprises and Increase market access.
Social mobilization, empower community groups and cooperatives, partnership with local government.
Mobilizing communities is central to CCODER’s work. Development committees, savings groups, and cooperatives are formed to encourage collective decision-making and accountability.
Through social mobilization, communities gain confidence, leadership skills, and the ability to negotiate with local authorities and service providers.
CCODER designs integrated development packages combining education, health, livelihoods, and social empowerment rather than isolated interventions.
Programs are adapted to local geography, culture, and economic conditions to ensure relevance and effectiveness.
Special focus is given to women, marginalized groups, and economically disadvantaged households.
Communities identify priority issues through participatory discussions and local planning processes.
Small-scale pilot initiatives are implemented, evaluated, and refined before scaling up.
Successful models are expanded to other communities through partnerships and capacity building.
CCODER’s approach ensures that development is not temporary assistance, but a long-term process of empowerment. By combining social mobilization, economic growth, and institutional strength, communities are equipped to lead their own development journey.
