Who We Are

A Homegrown Force for
South Sudan's Future

Development Organization for Society Expanding (DOS-E) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization registered and recognized by the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC) in the Republic of South Sudan. Founded in the 21st century by a visionary collective of scientists, technologists, and social innovators, DOS-E was established to address a critical juncture in humanity: the need for integrated, resilient development in a rapidly changing world.

DOS-E was initiated as a response to the increasing demand for national humanitarian agencies that possess the local expertise and technical innovation required to reach destitute communities. We are built to be a permanent, homegrown fixture — present when international NGOs cannot be.

Our Purpose

How We Work

Our Guiding
Principles

These principles dictate how we implement our programs on the ground, ensuring that every action is purposeful, safe, and locally led.

1. Local Ownership — The "Homegrown" Principle

We prioritize local expertise and community participation. For development to be sustainable, it must be driven by the people of South Sudan, leveraging their inherent knowledge and strength.

2. The Nexus Approach

We do not view humanitarian aid and long-term development as separate entities. Our principle is to provide immediate relief while simultaneously building the infrastructure and skills necessary for long-term self-reliance.

3. Evidence-Based Intervention

Our actions are guided by data, research, and technical innovation. By using scientific methods to assess needs, we ensure our interventions are both efficient and impactful.

4. "Do No Harm"

In conflict-affected regions, we ensure our presence and programs do not inadvertently exacerbate local tensions. We maintain neutrality and prioritize the safety and protection of the most vulnerable.

5. Environmental Stewardship

We integrate environmental restoration into all our sectors. We aim to expand society without depleting the natural resources required for future generations.
