In order to respond to both the emergency and longer term needs of the population, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church established a development wing in 1972, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church Development and Inter-Church Aid Commission (EOC-DICAC). The EOC-DICAC is one of a few active ecumenical development organisations in the country. It is engaged primarily with the objective "to help disadvantaged communities attain self reliance by tackling the root causes of poverty, drought, conflict and HIV/AIDS by promoting a sustainable development programmes". The EOC-DICAC works within the regulations and laws governing nongovernmental organisations (NGOs). The Vision of EOC-DICAC is to help create a just society in which everyone has access to the basic necessities of life.
