Briefs & Fact Sheets (
3 August 2011 )
 Meet Members of the Bangladeshi Parliament Mahbub Ara Begum Gini and Rasheda Begum Hira. They, along with seven other Members of Parliament and a staff member, participated in a 10-day workshop and study tour organized by CEDPA, a partner of SUNY/CID in the PRODIP initiative. The program focused on strengthening the leadership skills of the participants, building competencies in advocacy and communications, and exploring new models for engaging constructively with civil society organizations and across parties to promote women’s issues. The participants learned about the struggles women in different U.S. political institutions faced in order to gain the support and respect of their male counterparts. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Bangladesh’s Promoting Democratic Institutions and Practices (PRODIP) is a five year program implemented by The Asia Foundation and SUNY/Center for International Development to support democratic governance in Bangladesh.

Special Booklet (
17 March 2011 )
 While more children in Nigeria have enrolled in primary school recently, many are dropping out before completing their education. According to UNICEF, just 54 percent of students in primary school continue on to secondary school. This holds true for Akwa Ibom State in the delta region, where CEDPA and four local partners teamed up to empower more than 1,400 adolescent girls and boys to make better life choices. The Better Life Options Program, funded by the ExxonMobil Foundation, engaged community members, parents, school officials and village leaders to support these adolescents, who improved their knowledge about reproductive health, gender, civic participation and goal-setting through the program’s life skills classes. Of those who completed the program, 50 percent enrolled or re-enrolled in formal school and others went on to obtain vocational training. Meet some of the program beneficiaries, supporters, facilitators and implementing partners.

Special Booklet (
22 February 2011 )
 While the number of women infected and affected by HIV grows, the response to the epidemic has not responded accordingly. In 2006, the Advancing Women’s Leadership and Advocacy for AIDS Action initiative was launched to equip and empower a cadre of women from around the world with the knowledge and skills to strengthen and lead the global response to AIDS. The Ford Foundation-funded initiative was implemented by a consortium led by the Centre for Development and Population Activities and including the International Center for Research on Women, the International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS and the National Minority AIDS Council. The initiative consisted of six global, regional and national workshops designed to enhance participants’ confidence and self-efficacy, strengthen their program management skills and expand their professional networks. Redistributing Power: Stories from Women Leading the Fight Against AIDS profiles seven extraordinary women who passed through the program. From civil war-torn northern Uganda to the edge of the Rocky Mountains in the United States, these women leaders share their struggles, their evolution and the passion they have for empowering those around them.
