The CED Network is a community where Christ-centered organizations and individuals can share best practices, learn from each other's challenges, and encourage each other in our pursuits of transformational economic development. We accomplish this through our annual conference, the CED Summit, and peer learning activities like hosting webinars and sharing tools and resources among participants. We’re motivated by Christ’s love for us (1 John 3:1, 4:19-21), Christ’s response to those in need (Psalm 113:7-8, Luke 4:17-19), and the desire to see His Kingdom flourish here on earth (Matthew 6:9-10). Our participants represent over 40 organizations working around the world. Formerly known as the Christian Microenterprise Development Network (CMED), we invite participation from Christian organizations and individuals working in economic development. There is no formal membership application or fee. The CED Network is led by a steering committee comprised of volunteer members from Christian economic development organizations. They are committed to creating a community of mutual encouragement and dialogue. HOPE International has chaired the steering committee since 2016.
