BDS-CDR Understanding of Development

At BDS-CDR, our understanding of “development” goes beyond what is conventionally held. We hold that real development is holistic. Material development alone is not enough to improve the quality of man’s life.Holistic development endeavors to address the whole of man and his environment, i.e. to enrich the quality of the material, mental and spiritual aspects of his life in a comprehensive manner.

 

Development is progressive and cumulative and provides the next generation better opportunities for greater development. any development that comes about at the expense of the wellbeing and further development of the next generation cannot be full and lasting

 

In the process of building its strength in these areas, BDS-CDR has managed to build a rich and dependable pool of leading professional researchers, supervisors, data processors and enumerators that can be mobilized at short notice to successfully undertake a wide range of project studies and trainings. This ability to put together a professional taskforce appropriate for given projects and to deliver quality service on time gives BDS-CDR the state of mind with which to engage in its assignments with firm and full confidence. Furthermore, its engagement in the numerous study projects that it has carried out has enabled it to crisscross the expanse of Ethiopia, thus enabling it to have a good picture of the social and geographic features of the country.
