CEDPA is a partner on a number of Indefinite Quantity Contracts (IQCs), which provide for an indefinite quantity of products and/or services to be supplied by contractors to the U.S. Agency for International Development within stated limits and timeframes by responding to specific task orders.

This project supports the effort to strengthen and promote women’s rights by enhancing opportunities for women to take part fully in the economic, social and political workings of their societies. There are five components being implemented in four countries within Southern Africa: 1) Legal Literacy in Lesotho; 2) Community Radio Programs on Women’s Rights in South Africa; 3) Advocacy in Action Manuals for Mozambique and Swaziland; and 4) Anti-trafficking Legislation in Mozambique.
