Focus on the right of assembly and association and the right to education.
CDRM&CDS recognizes that expertise is available within the church diaconal arms and will harness it for the good of all through the center. Church staff trained at the center will become better prepared to provide the social development and empowerment services and facilitation needed with their respective congregations and communities. Expertise from the Center will provide technical support for church projects such as emergency warehouse facility management or the organization of community disaster relief committees. CDRM&CDS will also provide diaconal departments with relevant information and link them to networking and advocacy opportunities.
