Since it was established ,ROCHD has also always stood for multi-sectoral integrated response so strongly that it has won the confidence of most UN agencies and obtained Partnerships and several funds for its projects.

Vission, Mission and Values
Growth and development in all human and social fields.
To contribute efficiently and effectively in development of community and individuals and provide them with diverse means to upgrade their skills and to fulfill their needs through planned programs and activities .
Humanitarian Approach
The right to a dignified life takes precedence over politics and principles. ROCHD insists on the right of the individual to receive humanitarian aid and on our right and duty to provide such aid, whenever possible, regardless of political circumstance. This means that our advocacy will sometimes be subordinate to our duty to help save lives, and that we will always provide assistance, regardless of whether such an effort could be interpreted politically. Moreover, in all our interactions we insist on the dignity and autonomous right of the individual to use their abilities in shaping their lives as they see fit.
Respect
Our belief in the equal rights of all human beings. ROCHD takes a rights-based approach to its work. We work to ensure that all target groups can enjoy the rights, protections, and opportunities guaranteed to them in applicable conventions and laws and seek to combat discrimination in all forms.
Independence and neutrality
ROCHD works exclusively based on its mandate towards various groups of local society (children, women, internally displaced persons, and people with disabilities and other people affected by displacement or conflict. ROCHD focuses on issues various groups of local society, remaining strictly neutral when it comes to party politics. This also means that in conflict settings our humanitarian work is predicated on the principle of independence and neutrality in regard to the conflicting parties.
Inclusion
ROCHD wishes to carry out its initiatives in a climate of respect and collaboration with the people we are trying to help, thereby ensuring that they are empowered by the interaction. This means that we ask communities for their consensual participation in the planning and implementation of interventions, as well as their perspectives in assessing the outcomes. Our collaborations with people in distress ultimately seek to utilize and strengthen their ability to cope without assistance in the
future.
Honesty and transparency
ROCHD is accountable to the people we help, those that support us and those with whom we collaborate. This means that we are honest and open about what we do and about the choices we make, and if a situation may exceed our ability to provide help. We strive for successful and responsible joint efforts with all affected communities, donors,partners, and others.
