Who We Are
Collaborative Development International is a faith-based, non-profit consulting effort focused on strengthening and growing the capacity of existing community-based organizations through intentional and cooperative partnerships.
We are small by design, just a few individuals who see both the tremendous potential of locally-led Community Development organizations and the knowledge base and practical resources available from others. We are passionate to see these groups connect with one another.
What We Do
Collaborative Development International is a bridge between practitioners and resources.
Strategic organizations throughout the world are working to improve the leadership, health services, educational, economic, and infrastructure conditions within their local community or sphere of influence. However, their effectiveness is often hindered by inadequate knowledge of or access to critical resources.
CDI partners with these organizations to identify opportunities and constraints, develop strategic initiatives, then work together to see appropriate resources applied though creative, collaborative solutions. Our goal is to see barriers removed or mitigated and our partners flourishing in their efforts to make a difference in their local communities.
