The Carl Duisberg Association of the Philippines (CDAP) is an alumni association of Filipinos who were former scholars to Germany. Formed in 1997, CDAP traces its roots from the Sechsundreissigers Klub established in 1964 and from the Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft- Philippines established in 1967.

Composed of professionals with varied expertise, majority of them connected with the government, private sector and academe, CDAP helps in the practical application of the acquired knowledge from Germany to support developmental programs in the Philippines.

While the bulk of membership is composed of the alumni scholars of Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft and Deutsche Stiftung und Entwicklung (now merged as InWEnt) CDAP welcomes former scholars to Germany who were sponsored by other German institutions.
