DECs emerged in the UK in the 1970s responding to an increasing public interest in development issues and concerns about global inequality. There is now a national network of over 45 centres.

Most DECs have three primary functions:

To provide an accessible resource centre for relevant educationalists to use
To run an enquiries service and provide informal support related to development education perspectives and issues
To provide training and programme support to deliverers of education, such as schools, community groups and youth workers.

All DECs operate under a national umbrella body - the Development Education Association (DEA). The DEA exists to promote the work of all those engaged in bringing about a better public understanding in the UK of global and development issues.
