Our Mission
To solve the problem of disorganization, resource fragmentation and the resultant negative results - inefficiency, effort duplication, weakened voice and influence, little to no resource sharing - seen among NGOs in Africa.
Our Vision
To unify and empower African CSOs/NGOs through a central registry, shared resources, strategic partnerships, and coordinated development efforts that eliminate duplication OF social impact projects, enhance impact, and drive sustainable progress across the continent.
Our Values
At CASDA, our values shape how we build, partner, and lead. We champion collaboration over competition, prioritize integrity and access, innovate from within communities, and use data to drive meaningful, equitable change. Our values are collaboration over competition, integrity in impact, access and equity, innovation with local roots, and data for good.
