ABOUT CMD
Christian Mission for Development (CMD) is a registered non-profit, benevolent and development organization with its Head Office in Juba, South Sudan and Field Offices in Jonglei, Upper Nile and Eastern Equatoria States. CMD was humbly founded in 2005 as an agriculture development project formerly known as (Ayod Christian Mission for Agriculture - ACMA) following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement – CPA. Since then, CMD has been operational as a humanitarian and development organization mitigating suffering, by providing lifesaving assistance and holistic services to the most vulnerable communities in hard-to-reach areas focusing especially on women, children and youths in South Sudan. Since then, CMD has reached over 3.4 million people in Greater Upper Nile and Greater Equatoria with emergency, recovery assistance and development programming in its various thematic areas.
Over the past years, the organization has grown in capacity with an increase in staff, partners, volunteers, programs and projects in the different parts of South Sudan. The programs have shored up and currently include “Education, WASH, Health, Nutrition, Food Security and Livelihoods, Peace Building and Protection” which addresses the immediate and long-term needs of the target communities. CMD’s activities have attracted several partnerships with both Local and International humanitarian actors, Government line ministries, institutions and individuals with whom they share common goals.
CMD collaborates with others to build communities' resilience with the hope to become self-sufficient, and to increase the pool of community facilitators who can transform the whole society out of extreme poverty, illiteracy, diseases and injustices, and to improve social amenities, social justice welfare, livelihoods and economic mainstays of the communities.
CMD’s programming is multi-sectoral encompassing emergency, recovery and development activities that strive to transform lives and build communities. CMD works to reach hard-to-reach regions with very little or no basic services characterized by cycles of conflict, civil wars, extreme hunger, flooding, disease and poverty. The organization has established organizational policies and management standards that include state-of-the-art human resources, financial, procurement and PSEA policies that are continuously being reviewed.
