CDA Collaborative Learning Projects is a non-profit organization founded in 1985, based in the United States. The organization's slogan, "Practical Learning for International Action," encapsulates its mission to assist national and international actors operating in conflict-affected areas. It focuses on enhancing the relevance, effectiveness, and accountability of their actions.
For over 30 years, CDA has been a leading advocate for local leadership and has critically assessed aid effectiveness and accountability to affected populations. As an independent partner for humanitarian, peacebuilding, and development practitioners, CDA fosters collaborative learning processes that generate practical evidence, frameworks, and policy guidance for sustainable change.
Notably, each of CDA’s foundational learning projects has involved hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of people, delivering widely recognized and referenced lessons that inform the policies and practices of both international and local actors. The organization also offers practitioner resources for free download on its website. Although specific details about the last investment and investors are not available, CDA Collaborative Learning Projects continues its impactful work in conflict-affected regions.
