Our Strategies

  • Research - CDRA continues to locate inquiry and learning central to its approach and practice. We view research as a disciplined commitment to searching for improved and innovative organisational practices that improve developmental impact. Our research is in support of, and drawn from, our organisational development practice.


  • Organisational Accompaniment [Consultancy] - This is an approach to organisational development consultancy that commits to walking with our clients through their processes of ongoing learning, change, implementation, review and re-commitment.


  • Advocacy and Education Programme -  through this work we seek to increase consciousness of how organisation shapes society and social change, and how current conventional forms disempower.  We will actively promote policies, practices and forms of organisation which enable the marginalised to develop their own sovereign organisations and movements. On this basis we seek to encourage approaches to development that are more organisationally conscious and skilful.


  • Learning Programmes [Courses] - A range of learning programmes are aimed at supporting more effective and developmental practices and ongoing learning in the individual practitioners, organisations and networks that we serve.


  • Internal Organisational Development and Governance - We maintain the ongoing health, development and accountability of our own organisation which, as an NGO, is willingly bound by the same commitment to social and financial transparency and accountability as are those whom we serve.
