Office de Développement des Églises Évangéliques
Office de Développement des Églises Évangéliques (ODE) is a Christian non-governmental organisation dedicated to supporting the development and strengthening of evangelical churches, primarily across Francophone Africa. Its mission is to accompany churches in their holistic engagement with communities, helping them to respond to both spiritual and socio-economic needs. ODE places a strong emphasis on empowering local churches to play a transformative role in society through sustainable development, social justice, and the promotion of human dignity.
To achieve its goals, ODE implements a variety of programmes, including training in leadership and organisational capacity, support for income-generating activities, and initiatives focused on education, health, food security, and disaster response. The organisation works in close collaboration with local church networks, community leaders, and international partners to ensure culturally appropriate and context-sensitive interventions. By equipping churches to act as agents of change, ODE fosters resilience and long-term development in vulnerable communities.
