As we come to the end of a very exciting and eventful year, we at Connected Development (CODE) wish to appreciate the year-long journey we undertook with you in serving and impacting our communities, hand-in-hand!
Founded in 2012 to empower marginalized communities in Africa, we have strengthened local communities by creating platforms for dialogue; engendered informed debate; and built capacities of citizens on how to hold their government accountable, through #FollowTheMoney.
As our impact stories have increased, so has our vision, and our ever-deepening sense of responsibility. Therefore, it is with pleasure at our shared achievement, and fulfilment at the completion of yet another remarkable year, that I bring you this message.
