Embracing and implementing EDC requires a paradigm shift in development work :from aid to development effectiveness. In promoting EDC in all arenas of development work, CPDE contributes to the achievement of human rights and sustainable development. Promoting EDC means creating and expanding an enabling environment for development cooperation between government, implementing partners, CSOs, and the people. EDC enables the expansion and cultivation of social dialogue between various development actors, and acts as check-and-balance approach in development work to ensure that no development program benefits one party while aggravating another.
