About CODOTS

Connecting Dots Services (CODOTS) is a for-profit social enterprise which aims at creating platforms through a collaborative approach for ensuring sustainable youth development and youth-led development. We promote strong participation by youth and related stakeholders with focus on Education, Employment, Health and Entrepreneurship.
We connect youth through a model of collaboration with the private sector, NGOs, community-based organizations, voluntary organizations, policymakers and experts in the field. Often, the economic problem of society is not merely a problem of how to allocate given resources. It is a problem of the utilization of knowledge not given to anyone in its totality (Heyen, 1945). And so, CODOTS believes in competing for connectivity for better impact in society.

Mission

development.

Core Values
