Effective Date: 20 August 2026

Welcome to the website of the Centre for Development Communication (CDC). These Terms & Conditions govern your use of our website, programmes, training services, consultancy services, publications, and donation/payment facilities.

By accessing this website or making a payment or donation through it, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.

About CDC

The Centre for Development Communication (CDC) is a development communication organisation committed to advancing participatory, inclusive and people-centred communication for development.

Our work includes development communication training, research, consultancy, capacity development, knowledge production, advocacy, and related programmes and initiatives.

Use our website 

You agree to use this website lawfully and responsibly.

You must not:

• Use the website for fraudulent, unlawful or unauthorised purposes;

• Attempt to interfere with or compromise the security or operation of the website;

• Submit false, misleading or fraudulent information;

• Use another person's payment details or identity without authorisation;

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website or its systems; or

• Use our content, materials, name or identity in a manner that could misrepresent your relationship with CDC.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the website where we reasonably believe that these Terms & Conditions have been violated.

Payments for services and programmes 

CDC may provide paid services and programmes, including but not limited to:

• Development Communication training;

• Professional capacity-building programmes;

• Consultancy and advisory services;

• Research and related professional services;

• Publications and educational materials; and

• Other programmes or services expressly identified on our website.

Prices, fees and applicable conditions will be communicated on the relevant programme, service or payment page.

By making a payment, you confirm that:

1. You have reviewed the relevant service or programme;

2. You understand the applicable fee;

3. You have provided accurate information;

4. You are authorised to use the payment method provided; and

5. You agree to the terms applicable to that particular service or programme.

A payment confirmation does not, by itself, guarantee admission to a programme, appointment, consultancy engagement or other service where additional approval, selection or confirmation is required.

Payment processing 

Payments made through the CDC website may be processed by Flutterwave or another authorised third-party payment service provider.

CDC does not directly store your complete debit card, credit card or other sensitive payment credentials on its website. Payment information may be processed by the relevant payment service provider in accordance with its own terms, privacy policies and security procedures.

You agree to provide accurate payment and contact information necessary to process your transaction.

CDC is not responsible for delays, failed transactions, bank charges, network interruptions or other circumstances arising from the systems of banks, card providers, payment processors or telecommunications providers.

Donations 

CDC may accept voluntary donations through the website to support its development communication, research, capacity-building, advocacy and other mission-related activities.

All donations are voluntary.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, donations are treated as contributions towards CDC's general organisational activities and may be applied to areas of need consistent with CDC's mission.

Where a donor donates for a clearly identified programme, project or purpose, CDC will make reasonable efforts to apply the funds to that purpose. However, where circumstances change, or the identified activity becomes impracticable, CDC may redirect the funds to a substantially related purpose consistent with its mission.

CDC does not guarantee any particular outcome from a donation.

Refunds and cancellations 

Refund eligibility depends on the nature of the payment.

Training and Programme Fees

Where a participant cancels their participation in a paid programme, refund eligibility will be determined according to the cancellation and refund terms communicated for that particular programme.

Where no specific refund policy has been published, CDC may consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis.

Where a programme is cancelled or substantially rescheduled by CDC, participants will be notified and, where applicable, offered an alternative arrangement or refund.

Consultancy and Professional Services

Payments for consultancy or professional services may be subject to separate contractual terms agreed between CDC and the client.

Donations

Donations are generally non-refundable once successfully processed. However, CDC may consider a refund where a donation was made in error, duplicated, or resulted from an unauthorised transaction, subject to verification.

Refund requests should be submitted promptly with sufficient information to enable CDC to identify and verify the transaction.

Transaction errors and unauthorised payments 

If you believe that a payment has been made in error or without your authorisation, please contact CDC as soon as possible.

You may be asked to provide information such as:

• Your name;

• Date of transaction;

• Amount paid;

• Transaction reference;

• Email address used for the transaction; and

• Any other information reasonably necessary to verify the transaction.

CDC reserves the right to investigate suspected fraudulent, duplicated or unauthorised transactions before processing any refund.

Intellectual property  

Unless otherwise stated, materials published on this website—including text, publications, training materials, graphics, logos, photographs, videos, reports and other original content—are owned by or licensed to CDC.

You may access and use our materials for lawful personal, educational or professional purposes where permitted.

You must not reproduce, modify, sell, distribute, publish, commercially exploit or present CDC's materials as your own without prior written permission.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions transfers ownership of CDC's intellectual property to you.

Training and educational materials 

Participation in CDC training programmes does not automatically grant participants permission to reproduce, commercialise or redistribute CDC's training materials.

Training materials are provided for the benefit of registered participants and may not be reproduced or distributed outside the permitted context without prior authorisation.

Certificates, where applicable, are issued subject to the participation and completion requirements communicated for the relevant programme.

Third party website and services 

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms or services.

These third parties operate independently from CDC and may have their own terms, privacy policies and practices.

CDC does not control and is not responsible for the content, availability, security or practices of third-party websites or services.
