Special Booklet (
28 May 2010 )
 This publication describes the Women’s Leadership for Greater Economic Participation program, implemented by CEDPA in partnership with Seeds of Peace, which brought together 15 young women from Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Palestine in a pilot program to advance women’s economic participation in their communities. With training and technical assistance, these young women implemented seven economic empowerment projects targeting a diverse range of women within their communities including immigrants, students, refugees, and other populations. Several of the projects are now self-sustaining, including one that has successfully marketed embroidery projects from Palestinian women to the Starbucks coffee chain.

Special Booklet (
28 May 2010 )
 The PAHEL: Towards Empowering Women project builds the leadership and advocacy skills of women elected to panchayats (local councils) in the Patna district of India, to improve reproductive health services in their communities. The project, implemented by CEDPA India in partnership with many community organizations, educates these political officials about sexual and reproductive health and their role in promoting effective policies surrounding these issues. Almost 300 women panchayat members have been trained under PAHEL. The stories in this book reflect the personal journeys of women leaders who have been an integral part of PAHEL, and their reflections on their work as change makers in their communities.

Briefs & Fact Sheets (
26 February 2010 )
 CEDPA has developed a new strategy that links family planning, reproductive health, maternal and child health, and HIV/AIDS to provide comprehensive, integrated education and services to women and girls. Over our 35 years of work in developing countries, many gains have been made in improving access to family planning but the reproductive health of too many women and men remains poor, especially in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, and the enormous investment in the AIDS response has not adequately been leveraged to improve other reproductive health outcomes. HIV/AIDS continues to devastate Africa. Maternal mortality and morbidity rates have not improved in these regions, though the strategies to make motherhood safer are well known. The CEDPA Reproductive Health and HIV Integration Strategy addresses these ongoing issues affecting women’s lives and wellbeing, and lays out recommendations for future action.
