The Consortium of Christian Relief and Development Association (CCRDA) is a legally registered non-profit membership organization of NGOs/CSOs operating in Ethiopia.  Established in 1973 by thirteen NGOs, it has been operational for nearly half a century (47 years) and still growing in membership, representation, and engagement.  CCRDA has its physical presence in Addis Ababa City where it has a large complex that houses offices, training & conference facilities, and cafeteria.  In addition, it has regional chapters in six of the ten regions of the country.  Currently CCRDA membership has reached more than 400 legally registered international and national CSOs engaging in long term development, advocacy, humanitarian, and human rights activities.  CCRDA envisions a poverty free Ethiopia with vibrant CSOs and assured social justice.

The coming into effect of the new CSO law in 2018 and the spirit of the national transformation agenda of the government is one of the catalysts for CCRDA and members to undertake the reposition exercise to remain relevant to the new context so as to advance the mission of the network and embrace the existing new change. https://ccrdaeth.org/
