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.

Our Vision

To achieve ecological sustainable societies through establishing a research center of excellence,  promoting sustainable development on a regional basis as part of a global intervention with  focusing on the role of local communities and building environmental scientific research and  technology of natural resources, food and environment.

Our Mission

DCES is committed to preserving Sudan’s rich ecological system and bio-diverse environment. Our mission is to understand and protect precious natural resources for future generations through establishing sustainable environmental management strategies, empowering local communities, and expanding the integration of gender-inclusive approaches; decisions, policymakers, and different stakeholders into environmental issues using research and scientific approaches aligning with the concept of the SDGs. We are dedicated to sustainable development and stewardship of Sudan’s unique natural environment.
