Creating opportunities, strengthening communities, and promoting inclusive and sustainable development through programmes that respond to the needs of vulnerable and marginalised populations.
OGAST Community Development Organisation (OCDO) works to strengthen communities through inclusive, participatory, and sustainable development initiatives.
Our programme priorities address interconnected challenges affecting education, livelihoods, health, social protection, environmental sustainability, community resilience, and institutional development.
