For more than 30 years, the Centre for Development and Population Activities’ (CEDPA) governance programs have registered new women voters; raised women’s voices within peace efforts; mobilized advocates for better laws and public policy; and increased women’s political participation. Part of CEDPA’s work in Nepal is grounded in the organization’s dedication to assuring women’s greater participation in governance. To that end, CEDPA/Nepal initiated a project that brought together Nepali women advocates, CEDPA alumni and other experienced women leaders from around the world to ensure that women’s voices could be heard above the other political melee that will take place during the reconstruction.
