PROGRAM FRAMEWORKS
The program focus of JeCCDO is on the selection and implementation of few and sustainable interventions. JeCCDO will be founded on the following FOUR program frameworks and targets.
Children and Youth Development
JeCCDO focuses on programs that promote change and growth of children and youth to meet their livelihoods, wellbeing and healthy development.
Social Innovation
JeCCDO will value more on innovation and entrepreneurship (social enterprise at CBO and JeCCDO level as well as individual business enterprises) in seeking new ways to respond to the social and economic challenges of vulnerable communities in sustainable manner.
Capacity Development and Social Protections
Enabling people, organizations, and systems to innovate and respond to needs and challenges is the other thematic focus area of JeCCDO programs and projects. In this case the capacities of community based organizations, partner government and civil society organizations and issues of social accountability and protection will be addressed and enhanced.
Humanitarian Responses
With the growing challenge of ongoing conflicts in the country, the growing climate crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic humanitarian needs are rising from time to time. JeCCDO takes a comprehensive approach to engage in emergency response including preparedness, immediate assistance and long‐term recovery of the communities to be affected.
