CED is about information

– Information in the democratic process

– Information for awareness, analysis, critique

– Information as education and social change.

CED sees itself as part of the task to build, make resilient, and bring to prominence, intermediate alternative institutions – ( social, economic, cultural) like decentralized participative systems.

The information perspective is therefore understanding and resistance to dominant non-democratic, in-equitous development perspectives as well as engaging with pathways for alternative, sustainable, and equitable development & change.

The areas of focus which CED chooses for itself are: Climate Change; New Economics, Civil Society & Just & Sustainable Urbanism.

CED sees its work as a part of and inclusive with other actors, particularly NGOs, Organisations, Peoples Movements, Citizens Organisations etc. Its own field of work revolves around Information, Education and Communication. CED seeks to do its documentation and information work by rooting it in the works of networks, interest groups in the above crisis areas which hold the perspectives of development and change. Given the new information scenario, CED’s work goes beyond past the post collection, to a more researched, targeted and user oriented documentation based on Reflection, Action, Research and Study of its core areas and dissemination and educational materials/outputs.

CED will therefore active look for doing project/programme based work of creating media outputs, educational modules, web and multimedia that are needed for furthering the jointly held perspective.
