CCD has been committed to facilitate a process of developing the local resource base, building on the traditional knowledge and skills, and improving the community access to mainstream resources. Since its inception CCD wanted to build community capacity so that the communities not only have greater control over their lives but also over the environment surrounding their lives. The organisation believes that only then one can contribute towards the process of sustainable development. CCD has achieved this by utilizing the Local Resources and Traditional Skills (LRTS) of the community and promoting Community Based Organisations (CBO)
