Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD)

The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) was established to mobilise global opinion and resources for democratic development and provide an independent space to reflect critically on the challenges posed to the democratisation and development processes in West Africa. CDD envisions a West Africa that is democratically governed, economically integrated – promoting human security and people-centred development. The mission of the centre is to be the prime catalyst and facilitator for strategic analysis and capacity building for sustainable democracy and development in the West African sub-region
