The Coalition for Educational Development (CED) is a non-profit organization funded by the Commonwealth Education Fund established for the promotion of Education in Commonwealth Countries in Asia and Africa. Founded in 2004, the CED received its legal status under the Company Act in 2006.
The CED enshrines the idea that linkage among policy makers, researchers and civil society groups is essential to formulate steadfast and viable educational policies of wider application and make insightful decisions. Thus, the Coalition constitutes an orchestration for increasing the power and leverage of civil society organizations, professional associations and individuals to advocate for educational development.
