About CDAC Network

Founded in 2009, CDAC Network is the global alliance of organisations working to ensure people can access safe, trustworthy information and communicate during crises.

Our network brings together UN agencies, the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement, local and international NGOs, media development and specialist communications entities. All are committed to meaningful community engagement and greater accountability to people affected by crises.

Together, we are committed to putting the power in humanitarian and development decision-making back in the hands of communities.

In 2022–2027, CDAC is doubling down on its intent to reverse the focus of humanitarian and development decision-making, moving from global to local. We will continue to leverage the strength and diversity of our membership to advocate for affected populations to have the tools and pathways they need for a more localised and responsive humanitarian aid system.

Our vision is that communities will have the information and resources they need to determine their own solutions and be central stakeholders in humanitarian and development decision-making.
