The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) is a non-profit organization headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria.[1] The organization aims to promote the values of democracy, peace and human rights in Africa, particularly in the West African sub-region.[2]
Established in the United Kingdom in 1997 and subsequently registered in Lagos in 1999, the CDD mobilizes global opinion and resources for democratic development and provides a space for critical reflection on the challenges posed to the democratization and development processes in West Africa. It also provides alternatives and best practices for sustaining democracy and development in the region.
