The Community Development Resource Network (CDRN) was founded in 1994. Its creation reflected a concern about the waste of development resources in Uganda, at a time when “privatisation” (and thus recourse to NGOs and community-based organisations) became increasingly fashionable, in a country where the NGO sector had remained relatively undeveloped because of earlier political upheavals and restrictions.

CDRN is somewhat unusual on the Uganda NGO scene. It is a technical support agency - it provides services to organisations.

CDRN is strongly committed to making an effective contribution to righting social injustices in Uganda, which are seen as arising from gender and other forms of inequality, poor governance, limited empowerment and denial of rights.
