The development Research and Projects Centre is a non-profit intermediary registered in 1994 with a mission of strengthening the capacity (organizational and technical capacity) of Civil Society organizations to design and implement transformative and sustainable development interventions which engage government and address felt needs of the vulnerable and excluded such as women and girls.

As a charitable organization, dRPC seeks:
1. To expand capacity of civil society organizations to carry out development programs and interventions using participatory strategies and working in partnerships with government agencies and other stakeholders
2. To increase knowledge and understanding of development programs
3. To expand capacity for development success by rendering technical support to government, development agencies and civil associations in their pursuit of development programs
4. To increase capacity amongst civil society associations to carry out advocacy to government agencies and their partners
5. To reduce social injustice by encouraging gender equity, reducing vulnerability and marginalization and by removing social exclusion through just and participatory development practices.

To achieve its objectives, dRPC adopted public health, youth and women, education, economic empowerment, research/MEAL(Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning), budget work, and capacity building and research with the survivors of conflict related sexual violence as its core programming areas.
