Local and international organizations seeking the services of CDP have grown steadily. Many of these consultancy and training services were the fruits of networking activities and referrals from training partners. CDP’s local and consultancy activities are also opportunities for CDP to CBDRM and learn new technologies in disaster management.

World Vision Development Foundation Inc. (WVDFI) has sustained partnership with CDP with a series of disaster management orientation and disaster preparedness training with its Area for Development Programs all over the Philippines since 2000. After CDP’s CBDRM presentations during the World Vision’s Asian Relief Forum, CDP has been contracted by World Vision – Laos and World Vision – Pacific Development Group to assist them in training their CBDM community trainers. WVDFI and PSALMS Development Foundation contracted CDP for the participatory research for their Center of Learning in Bataan in June – August 2002.

Other training consultancy partners since 2001 include the United Nations Development Programme and BALAY Rehabilitation Center for CBDRM in displacements due to armed conflict and the Local Government Support Programme. CDP is also contracted by ADPC to be its secretariat for regional training courses and workshops held in the Philippines and be part of the Training Team in its CBDRM Regional Course.
