Christian Commission for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB) founded in 1973, immediately after the Bangladesh Liberation War, by the World Council of Churches (WCC) to succeed the Bangladesh Ecumenical Relief and Rehabilitation Services (BERRS). This national organization working under the banner of the National Council of Churches of Bangladesh (NCCB) was founded to aid in relief and rehabilitation leading to mid and long-term development activities. It is governed by an inter-faith body called the Commission. Its services are rendered in the spirit of inter-faith dimensions, irrespective of caste or creed, race or religion. These services are quite separate from evangelism.

Major activities

  • Rural development
  • People-managed savings and credit programmes
  • Work with ethnic/indigenous communities
  • Training traditional birth attendants
  • Women’s development programmes and gender awareness programmes
  • Enhancing human and organisational potential
