Published Date: 10th  November 2025 

Background of Organization: 

The Community Development Centre (CDC), established in B.S. 2049 by a group of dedicated development professionals and activists, is a well-recognized non-governmental organization with more than three decades of experience in community empowerment. With strong technical expertise, robust financial systems, and deep understanding of the local context, CDC has successfully led inclusive and multi-sectoral programs in Sudurpaschim Province. Its work spans across inclusive education, health, WASH, disaster risk reduction, youth engagement, child protection, and women’s empowerment. By addressing pressing challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, harmful social practices, governance gaps, low educational performance, and persistent barriers for marginalized groups, the organization has played a pivotal role in driving sustainable improvements in the lives of vulnerable communities.
