Forum for Development, Culture and Dialogue (FDCD).

The background of the Forum for Development, Culture and Dialogue (FDCD) dates from the Urban Rural Mission programme (URM) developed for the Middle East by the World Council of Churches, to help poor and marginalised communities through joint work between Muslims and Christians. The FDCD encourages dialogue and in particular aim to strengthen the role of young people and women as partners.

The FDCD’s approach is faith-based, and uses cultural diversity as a tool which can help avoid clashes and stimulate the progress of the communities. Throughout, the FDCD emphasises empowerment and solidarity with people in need, so that, it approaches justice with peace always by dialogue and cooperation.

The FDCD cooperates with related organisations throughout Lebanon and also in the region.
