CORDNET promotes crafting of development models that are suited to the unique and multicultural landscape of the Region. It has recently committed to contribute in the reshaping of social architecture of governing relationship through the piloting and testing of a model on Localized Anti-Poverty Project designed by CODE-NGO.
