"Profile & Mandate
CSD is a humanitarian relief and development agency. CSD’s mission is to help those already among the poorest of society and suffering due to natural or ecological catastrophe, political or civil disruption. CSD provides relief assistance by working collaboratively with all communities to assist them in restoring social stability, revitalizing community structures, and empowering their members to gain control of their lives. CSD has worked in Kosovo since 2000, implementing a number of successful relief and development programs including multi-ethnic and cross-boundary electronic media and broadcast journalism, dialogue, return & reintegration activities, capacity building , humanitarian transitional development, and infrastructure projects.
CSD operates in cooperative partnership with local and international non-governmental organizations including the United Nations Children’s Fund, the American Refugee Committee, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, Mercy Corps, the Canadian International Development Office, the Dutch Office, the Mother Teresa society, and Hope & Aid UK.
CSD also works alongside the United Nations Interim Administration- Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), the Organization for Security & Cooperation in Europe, and local government structures.
CSD is a multi-sector/multi-ethnic LNGO. A key element of CSD’s strategy is to promote integrated and sustainable minority returns, in which IIDPs, IDPs and refugees committed to returning to and remaining in their community of origin are provided assistance including shelter reconstruction, rehabilitation of community infrastructure, economic revitalization, and household support."
