Our programs
The Dire Dawa Civil Society Network (DDCSN) is a coalition of diverse organizations committed to fostering sustainable development, social equity, and community empowerment. Established to bridge gaps and amplify the voices of marginalized groups, DDCSN works collaboratively with local communities, government bodies, and stakeholders to address pressing social and economic challenges.
With a focus on livelihood enhancement, human rights advocacy, and environmental sustainability, DDCSN aims to create a poverty-free society where individuals and communities thrive with dignity, resilience, and respect.
