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.

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. The curriculum is intensive and highly participatory, reflective of CEDPA’s training philosophy of creating a supportive learning environment that promotes the exchange of expertise and experience.

Project Report (
2 June 2006 )
From 2004 to 2006, CEDPA joined with local partners in the Baglung, Mohottari and Udayapur districts of Nepal to improve adolescent girls’ lives through a non-formal education program. The program reached 3,200 adolescents between the ages of 10–19 through literacy and critical life skills training that improved reproductive health knowledge and strengthened participant self-confidence. Recognizing the need to work with boys as well as girls to change community norms, boys were included in year two of the program. CEDPA and its partners—Aamaa Milan Kendra, Nepal Technical Assistance Group and the Nepal Red Cross Society—also addressed family and community factors to provide support for changes in attitudes and behaviors. An impressive 45 percent of the out-of-school girls who completed the literacy training component enrolled in primary schools as a result of the project.

Briefs & Fact Sheets (
13 July 2008 )
 An essential target of development investments is a strong and viable civil society that can work hand-in-hand with government and international bodies to deliver quality services to the people in greatest need. Throughout the developing world, indigenous organizations are critical actors in development at all levels. They work selflessly to serve their communities and provide an appropriate response to local needs. Recognizing that the key to successful community development is local capacity both individual and institutional—the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) has invested in institutional capacity building in developing countries for more than 30 years. CEDPA engages organizations in a process of self-examination, strategic thinking, and operational planning in order to move towards the goal of becoming self-sustaining.

Briefs & Fact Sheets (
14 August 2008 )
 Study after study has shown that investing in women advances community development. Institutions including the World Bank have documented how increasing women’s educational attainment and promoting their equal opportunity in the labor force and public life can reduce poverty and promote national growth. Investing in women also greatly enhances the well-being of families and their children, who are more likely to survive and thrive if their mothers are healthy and educated. For more than 30 years, the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) has trained developing-country women—and committed men and young people—to advance international development and change the social and political context that impedes opportunity for women and girls. The Global Women in Management program is CEDPA’s longest running training program, with thousands of graduate worldwide. The program responds to today’s development context that demands greater levels of management accountability and programmatic results by providing rigorous leadership and management training that builds women’s skills to run successful organizations.

Briefs & Fact Sheets (
21 July 2008 )
 There is a wealth of evidence that documents the benefits of investing in women. Research shows that increased investment in women yields immense economic and social benefits, especially in developing countries. When women earn income, it is more likely to be reinvested in families and communities. Where the influence of women in public life is greater, the level of corruption has been found to be lower, according to institutions including the World Bank. Yet, there remains a large gap between this knowledge and allocation of resources. For more than 30 years, the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) has invested in the leadership and development over 5,200 emerging women leaders—and also youth and committed men—to build their confidence to lead, direct successful organizations, and change the social and cultural context that impedes women’s opportunity. CEDPA’s approach to advancing women’s leadership is based on the premise that development leaders share certain traits with leaders in business and industry, but also are called upon to model and act in ways that set them apart from counterparts in order to be effective as agents of social change.

Research Report (
30 July 2008 )
 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.

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.
