The Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, established in 1983 to assist refugees and asylum seekers, initially from Ethiopia and now from countries worldwide. It operates as a national refugee resettlement entity that partners with the U.S. Department of State to deliver the refugee reception and placement program, implementing services that promote integration, stability, and self-sufficiency for newcomers through a network of ethnic community-based organizations. The organization serves refugee populations by developing programs at local and national levels to address diverse cultural, linguistic, and resettlement needs. With a footprint across multiple sites and a mission rooted in serving refugees from varied backgrounds, ECDC emphasizes innovative approaches to support newcomers during their transition to life in the United States.
