Training Manual (
28 January 2011 )
 Advancing Women’s Leadership and Advocacy for AIDS Action is a four-year, Ford Foundation-funded initiative designed 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 initiative has aimed to build the leadership, advocacy and technical expertise of women working on the frontlines in the fight against HIV and AIDS, and to strengthen the capacity of their organizations to advocate for stronger HIV and AIDS policies, programs and resources that meet the distinct needs of women. This manual presents a scaled-down adaptation of the training curriculum used in the project’s workshops. CEDPA has prepared this training manual as a resource for its alumni and other trainers to build the leadership, advocacy and management skills of grassroots women leaders and others working in HIV.

 India has among the highest number of maternal deaths of any country in the world today. Every seven minutes one woman in India dies from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. This results in over 100,000 mothers dying every year. The White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood is a coalition of organizations working together to increase awareness, build alliances and act as a catalyst for action in order to reduce maternal mortality. The Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) helped form the White Ribbon Alliance India (WRAI) in 1999 to bring critical attention and action to the need of making motherhood safer in India. Currently, CEDPA acts as the secretariat for the WRAI providing technical assistance and leading advocacy and communications strategies.

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.

 Since the late 1990s, the Maoist insurgency in Nepal has wreaked havoc on the nation’s economy, infrastructure and community life, resulting in more than 13,000 deaths and widespread violence and insecurity. The rebellion has destroyed property and economic resources and led to widespread social dislocation. On April 27, 2006, after a series of mass demonstrations across Nepal forced the King to relinquish his autocratic hold on the government, the Communist Party of Nepal- Maoist declared a ceasefire. Though significant, the prospect for a lasting peace remained fragile, highlighting the importance of continuing and expanding peace and conflict resolution work in Nepal at all levels. To address the social problems resulting from years of conflict, CEDPA and local partner Nagarik Aawaz began working together on the Communities for Peace project in July 2005.

 Adolescent girls in Nepal face enormous social barriers accessing education, and health due to exclusionary socio-religious traditions and years of conflict. The program and study reported here address two issues that girls identified as critical to their well-being—HIV risk awareness and menstrual restrictions. Local NGOs developed a peer education program in three districts of Nepal that paired girls from different castes and different educational levels. The program sought to increase peer educators’ leadership and collective efficacy to inform peers and adults in the community about the effects these issues have on women and girls.

Project Report (
1 August 2003 )
 The Enabling Change for Women’s Reproductive Health (ENABLE) Project, implemented during 1998-2003 in Ghana, India, Nepal, Nigeria and Senegal, aimed to strengthen women’s capabilities for informed and autonomous decision making to prevent unintended pregnancy and improve reproductive health. ENABLE worked to bring reproductive health services closer to isolated rural communities and urban slums by collaborating with community organizations to offer local services plus referrals to health facilities. In addition to assisting individuals, ENABLE worked to change the overall social and cultural climate that influences reproductive health decision making and limits access to health services. This final report summarizes the ENABLE Project’s key accomplishments and describes strategies that are suitable for replication.

Project Report (
4 June 2008 )
 The Enabling Young People’s Civic Participation in Egypt project mobilized young people from ten governorates to play an active role in the civic life of their communities. Over its two-year lifespan, the project equipped participants with skills in democratic participation through its youth leadership camps, and provided them with guidance and support as they returned to their villages to undertake community improvement projects. In addition, the project established governorate-level networks of young leaders, who, together with the larger community, sought to create a platform for youth on the local level. Such networks were successful in all ten governorates and continue to function today.

 As part of the Democracy and Governance component of programming, CEDPA/Nigeria partnered with the Rivers and Edo State branches of the International Federation of Women Lawyers to implement the project, Engendering Legislative Issues, which aimed to bring women’s issues into the states’ legislative agendas through advocacy and policy change. The federation accomplished policy change by building networks and drawing upon the strengths of already established women’s organizations. The work of these networks eventually led to the passing of the Female Circumcision (Abolition) Law, which was signed by Rivers State Governor in August 2001, and in Edo State, two laws were passed banning FGC and harmful traditional practices in October 1999 and November 2001, respectively.

Project Report (
19 October 2009 )
 Expanding the Voluntary Use of Contraception in the Central Terai Family Future Project was designed to increase the use of voluntary family planning for married women of reproductive age from poor and marginalized communities in the Central Terai. Funded by USAID in partnership with World Learning, the program was implemented in three districts, Bara, Rautahat and Sarlahi, where more than 90 percent of the project population was from marginalized communities. The project selected and trained young educated men and women as peer health educators to lead discussions with their peers on family planning, reproductive health and HIV/AIDS. Using CEDPA’s Choose a Future! manual, peer health educators led discussion sessions related to puberty, sexual and reproductive health, family planning and goal setting. CEDPA staff also trained adult volunteers, family future supporters, to provide commodities at the doorstep, counsel men and women on contraceptive methods, and explain how to access family planning for couples interested in contraception. This report provides a detailed explanation of the project and its results.

Project Report (
1 January 2003 )
 Under the ENABLE project, CEDPA/Nigeria provided technical assistance and modest funding to support local, state, inter-state and national coalitions to advocate for women's issues. These coalitions, known as 100 Women Groups, consist of up to 100 women who represent 10 to 15 community-based organizations. By 2000, 686 groups with more than 150,000 members were active. A 2001 evaluation found that group members reported enhanced self-esteem and self-confidence after joining the group as well as greater knowledge and skills in reproductive health, income generation and political participation. The groups have initiated income-generation and literacy programs, provided civic education to women, trained women candidates, resolved local conflicts, advocated for girls' education and educated communities about safe motherhood, family planning and HIV/AIDS. The 100 Women Group strategy is now a recognized and respected approach to promote women's empowerment and their participation in civil society.

Briefs & Fact Sheets (

Adolescent girls in Nepal face enormous barriers to achieving their social, economic and health needs and rights. Twenty-one percent of those ages 15-19 are already mothers or pregnant with their first child, according to the 2001 Demographic and Health Survey. One out of every two women believes that her husband has the final say in her health care. And, almost two-thirds of Nepali women are illiterate. Further, menstrual taboos that are deeply rooted in the culture of some castes prohibit women and girls from fully participating in daily life and inhibit their education. Putting Learning into Action, implemented from April 2006 to February 2007 by the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) and its partners, enabled adolescent girls and young women in Nepal to become agents of change to improve their reproductive health and the lives of other girls in their communities.

Special Booklet (

 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.

Training Manual (
1 June 2000 )
 A five-day, 12-session participatory curriculum based on CEDPA's experience working with the non-governmental sector. This manual promotes social mobilization as a means for communities to declare publicly their rights to control their reproductive health and to create widespread support for those rights. Social mobilization is a dynamic, long-term process in which stakeholders use a number of techniques, including advocacy, behavior change communication, and social marketing, each one building on the next to make sustainable changes in society. Social mobilization creates the enabling environment, as well as the vehicle for broad-based change to occur. The workshop presents practical means and models for maximizing community participation and involving all stakeholders in the design and implementation of family planning and reproductive health programs. The manual is designed to strengthen the efforts of development leader and managers from both the organizations and public sectors at national and grassroots levels to increase local participation and, simultaneously, women's empowerment.

 Nigeria has the third largest number of HIV infections in the world, with roughly four million men, women and children living with HIV and AIDS according to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). Infection rates have spiraled over the past decade, particularly among young women. And because of Nigeria’s poor health infrastructure, there is an enormous unmet need for HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services. With funding from the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief through the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) implements the four-year, $12.8 million Positive Living project to improve the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS, their families and communities in Nigeria. The project will run from 2006-2010, working hand-in-hand with a consortium of local faith-based organizations, community groups and networks of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in 20 states across Nigeria.
