Wherever you go in Serbia – from Apatin to Vranje, from small municipalities to larger cities – you will meet people who want their town to breathe more freely, function more justly, and live better.
On the path of local community development, the Center for Democracy Foundation (CDF) has been a recognized partner, supporter, and ally for over 30 years.
Why are we here?
Because we believe that sustainable development of local communities is possible and that citizen involvement in development planning and decision-making is a necessary condition. Development is most visible where people live – in villages, neighborhoods, and towns. For us, development means economic and social progress along with the preservation and improvement of natural resources.
Through our engagement in over 40 local governments across Serbia, we help communities become stronger, more inclusive, and better prepared for today’s challenges. (...)
