The Asia Community Development Organization (ACDO) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Bangladesh. It was founded in 1996 with the goal of promoting sustainable development and improving the lives of disadvantaged and marginalized communities in Bangladesh.
ACDO’s mission is to empower and support communities in addressing their own needs and promoting their own development. The organization works in the areas of health, education, environment, agriculture, and livelihoods, and seeks to improve access to basic services and resources for marginalized communities.
ACDO’s programs include initiatives to provide education and training for disadvantaged youth, promote women’s empowerment and gender equality, improve healthcare and nutrition, and support sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. They also work to respond to natural disasters and humanitarian crises, providing emergency relief and recovery assistance to affected communities.
ACDO works closely with local partners and communities to identify needs and design programs that are sustainable and locally appropriate. The organization is committed to promoting social justice, human rights, and democratic values, and works to empower marginalized groups to become active and engaged citizens in their communities.
ACDO is funded by a variety of sources, including grants from international development organizations and foundations, as well as individual donations. They also partner with other NGOs, government agencies, and private sector organizations to leverage resources and maximize their impact.
