Development Connections

Connecting resources for sustainable development

Development Connections (DVCN) offers technical support for development initiatives advancing social equity and human rights.

Our mission is to improve the conditions of life in communities via public policies, capacity-building and exchange between organizations and individuals.

We work to fullfill this mission through the provision of services and the implementation of joint initiatives with governments, civil society groups, universities, mass media, regional networks, and international agencies.

Areas of work
DVCN works with a diverse range of issues including: health and human security, gender equity, childhood and adolescent development, elderly, violence prevention, migration and human trafficking, sexual and reproductive health, and HIV.
