Partners
At CEDED, we believe that lasting peace, accountable governance, and sustainable development require deep, institutionalized partnerships.
For nearly three decades, we have collaborated with international development agencies, national coalitions, government institutions, and grassroots actors to drive measurable societal transformation across South Sudan. We deeply value the trust of the funding bodies and strategic networks that stand alongside us to amplify community resilience, generate public data, and advance democratic development.

Our Partnership Approach
We believe that high-impact partnerships are defined by mutual accountability and a shared respect for local context. Our collaborations are driven by four core principles:
Shared Vision
Aligning our operational strategies with partners who are unconditionally committed to the long-term advancement of human dignity, inclusive democracy, and sustainable development.
Local Ownership
Ensuring that international support directly reinforces local structures, keeping grassroots communities at the center of identifying challenges and executing solutions.
Knowledge Exchange
Fostering a continuous loop of institutional learning, co-designing participatory toolkits, and sharing field data to maximize collective regional impact.
Mutual Accountability and Trust
Maintaining rigorous fiduciary standards, open communication, and transparent, professional relationships with all resource partners and institutional stakeholders.
