Our Executive Committees
CDI prides itself on being student-run. Our two committees in Cambridge and Tanzania work closely throughout the year, before combining forces in the summer in Dar es Salaam. Each team has a parallel structure, so that all our members can work alongside their international counterparts.
Here are our 2016/17 executive committees, from the UK and Tanzania:

Crucially, our student teams are supported by an exciting mix of academics, professionals and entrepreneurs. They make up our Board of Trustees and Board of Advisors, experts in a wide range of sectors, who use their wealth of experience to ensure that the organisation continues its impressive growth.
Our Trustees
The CDI Board of Trustees was formed in 2014 as a means of oversight for the student committee. Our Board members meet quarterly, and provide advice on important organisational matters.
