nt Center (CCDC) Dolpa is a nonprofit and non Government organization registered at Dolpa Administration Office on August, 28, 2011 pursuant to section 4 of the Association Registration Act, 2034 B.S. It is recognized by Nepalese government under registration number 186/068/069. Community Conservation and Development Center (CCDC) Dolpa is affiliated with the Social Welfare Council February as of 16th 2012 under the Social Welfare Act 1992 and officially recognized by the Government of Nepal (SWC affiliated No 34403). Dolpa is endowed with abundant natural resources like flora, fauna, water, agriculture, horticulture, tourism, mines, minerals, lakes etc. But, unfortunately, these have not been tapped to the least for the benefits of the people for their livelihood improvement due to continued state neglect such as lack of appropriate development policies and commitment for Dolpa. As a result, the people of Dolpa continued to remain very poor deprived of adequate basic facilities like health, education, food, employment, markets, communication etc. since time immemorial and falls at the bottom of Human Development Index. More so, the caste and gender discrimination in Dolpa is comparatively high resulting in lack of access of women, Dalits and marginalized people to resources, opportunities and decision making processes from social, economical and political perspectives.
