GDD is a non-profit humanitarian and development organization that was established in 2014 in Istanbul, Turkey under registration number 34-209-183.

We strive to do this in accordance with international humanitarian principles and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as in line with the response and national development plans and ISO 9001:2015 standards.
We conduct thorough research on the humanitarian situation in affected areas and release reports through an annual international press conference in multiple languages.
