Imagine a world where disaster-affected communities lead their own emergency response. A world where solutions are locally driven and expertise locally sourced. Imagine a world where communities at risk of disaster build their own resilience and are drivers of innovation and, when faced with disaster, have the capacity and capability to effectively respond.

CDAC Network is the global alliance of many of the world’s biggest humanitarian and media development organisations – including UN agencies, the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement, NGOs, media and specialist communications organisations – committed to putting the power in humanitarian action back in the hands of communities.

We believe that, when communities have the information and the resources to make their own decisions, they have the capacity to find solutions to even the most challenging problems.

We work to enable them to do this.
