DERIBA CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
About Us
Deriba Center for Environmental Studies (DCES) was founded in July 2018 in Zalingei, the capital of Central Darfur State, Sudan. The center’s establishment was driven by the pressing and urgent need for more comprehensive scientific research, studies, training, and developmental projects across all environmental fields. The region’s geographic location, nature, and natural resources greatly influence the decision to select its location.
