Centre for the Development of People (CEDEP)

Centre for the Development of People (CEDEP) was established as a human rights organization in November 2006, and registered under the Trustees Incorporation Act of 1962. Its core functions are to address the needs and challenges of minority groups - especially lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people(LGBTI), prisoners, sex workers, and any other vulnerable groups whose rights are often neglected - through advocacy and lobbying; to promote human rights and good health of minority groups through civic education, training, capacity building, networking, and research; and provide support services for the improvement of the welfare of minority groups in accordance with their rights and needs. CEDEP´s work defends human rights by generating evidence though our work and creating a platform for dialogue and engagement to see that every person enjoys their fundamental rights. CEDEP works with intersections like involving the youth, promotion of Gender, HIV/ Aids, Climate change and environment.
