Message from the board of Trustees

Dear Friends and Partners,

We are delighted to extend our warmest greetings and heartfelt appreciation to all who have been part of our journey at the Centre for Dialogue, Research, and Cooperation (CDRC).

As the Board of Trustees, we are privileged to work alongside a dedicated team committed to advancing dialogue, research, and cooperation in pursuit of sustainable socio-economic development, democracy, good governance, and peace and security in the Horn of Africa.

At CDRC, our mission is rooted in building platforms that bring together leaders, thinkers, and decision-makers to engage in meaningful dialogue on the most pressing issues of our time—particularly those affecting our region. We remain steadfast in our commitment to producing independent research and analysis that foster mutual understanding and friendship among nations.

In a rapidly changing and complex world, CDRC serves as a source of critical thought, a forum for inclusive dialogue, and a hub for evidence-based insights. Our work would not be possible without the support and collaboration of governmental and non-governmental institutions, donors, partners, and individuals who share our vision for a peaceful and prosperous future.

We warmly invite you to explore our website at https://cdrcethiopia.com, engage with our research, attend our events, and join us in seeking solutions to the region’s most pressing challenges. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful impact.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to walking this journey with you—one anchored in a shared commitment to peace, balanced judgment, and transformative progress.

Warm regards,
Amb. Tekeda Alemu (PhD)
President, Board of Trustees
