Mission / Objective

The Foundation for Development Cooperation is an independent, not-for-profit international development organisation. The mandate of FDC calls for it to conduct policy-oriented research, foster public awareness, mobilise broader Australian and overseas development cooperation, and support non-governmental development efforts. Through partnerships and alliances, FDC undertakes a range of initiatives which seek to improve the lives of poor people in developing countries, foster innovative approaches to development, and connect policy work to self-help efforts at the grass roots level. FDC's work includes economic development and assessment, policy analysis, grass-roots community-based initiatives, strategic research, partnerships ad leverage, advocacy, consulting and advisory services.
