Respect for member associations
CACED strengthens cooperation among legitimate associations. Participation does not mean that CACED takes ownership of an association or replaces its identity.
Coalition Model
A shared platform for independent associations
CACED supports coordination among associations while keeping their identities and responsibilities intact.
Work from shared community needs
Evidence, consultation and the knowledge of community stakeholders help associations identify where coordinated action can contribute.
Clear responsibilities
Collaboration should respect the responsibilities of government and public institutions, as well as the authority under which CACED and its member associations operate.
