Christian Commission for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB) founded in 1973 as a successor organisation of the Bangladesh Ecumenical Relief and Rehabilitation Services (BERRS) created by the World Council of Churches (WCC) immediately after the war of liberation for relief and rehabilitation leading to mid and long-term development activities. It is a national organisation and works under the banner of the National Council of Churches of Bangladesh (NCCB). It is governed by an inter-faith body called the Commission.
