About Us
DCES is a youth-led, Sudanese, independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization that was founded in July 2018, in Zallingei Capital, Central Darfur State, Sudan, and expanded to have (6) more offices located in Khartoum capital of Sudan, Port Sudan, El-Genina Capital of Western Darfur State, Sennar State, Tawila of North Darfur State, and Juldo Central of Jabel Marra, with an extended functioning in the (18) States of Sudan and at different levels: national, regional, and international/global. It was established in response to the critical need for more scientific research studies and developmental projects in the fields of environment and climate change, and as an advocacy tool for conserving the rich ecological system and a biodiverse environment in Sudan, with a particular focus on the vulnerable areas of Sudan. Eventually, we evolved into one of the few centers conducting, Scientific Research, Implementing Development Projects, Humanitarian intervention and advocating for more action against it at the local community level.
Our Vision
To achieve ecologically sustainable societies by establishing a research center of excellence, promoting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), fostering the role of women, youth, and local communities, humanitarian response and building environmental scientific research and technology for natural resources, food, the environment, and conduct projects and activities that enhance the resilience of communities, save lives, and support the well-being of vulnerable populations during crises and challenging times.
Our Mission
DCES is committed to preserving Sudan’s rich ecological system, biodiverse environment, and providing Humanitarian Intervention. Our mission is to understand and protect precious natural resources and responding to Humanitarian crisis for future generations by establishing sustainable environmental management strategies, empowering local communities, and expanding the integration of gender-inclusive approaches, decisions, policymakers, and different stakeholders into environmental issues through research and scientific approaches aligned with the SDGs. We are dedicated to sustainable development, stewardship of Sudan’s unique natural environment, and responding to Humanitarian crisis.
