In the Sylhet region, ECDO is the only organization working with indigenous communities. As a result of this a lot of expectation has been put on the organization to solve their most pressing problems.

Due to these pressures, ECDO has since 2007 been involved in helping the indigenous people with legal problems by linking them with various organizations and agencies. Organizations such as Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust (BLAST), Bangladesh National Women Lawyer Association (BNWLA) and other legal and civil societies have been approached to help solve these issues. Today, ECDO enjoys good relations with these organizations and they have become a major resource for the community, solving all the issues delivered to them. Presently ECDO is providing legal assistance regarding land, fake case and violence against women issues with the help of BLAST. Among the beneficiaries, three are female and four are male.

ECDO realizes the difficulty in the development of the Indigenous People without resolving their internal conflicts and therefore the organization tries to mitigate internal conflicts among indigenous communities. ECDO therefore organizes conflict mediation meetings presided by local Union Parishad (UP) Chairman to resolve these issues. Recently, on 23rd Oct, 2008 a land conflict resolution meeting at Goabari, Jaintapur Upozella was held and disputes were resolved. This initiative by ECDO is greatly appreciated by the community members and local government representatives.
