The main objectives of the Centre are:

• Carry out policy-related studies related to agriculture, natural resources, gender, rural development, environment and governance at sub-national, national and regional level;
• Undertake activities for raising among the stakeholders awareness of policies existing at national, regional and global level that affect one way or the other people’s livelihood and country’s development;
• Serve as a resource centre and depository of relevant national, regional and global policy documents and research reports; and
• Provide services of the professionals associated with the Centre to national, regional and international organizations as appropriate.

CPAD-Nepal is registered with the District Administration Office, Kathmandu, and with the Social Welfare Council.

CPAD-Nepal is governed by a Working Committee of nine members with diverse professional background. It finances its activities through internally generated resources as well as through research and studies sponsored by national and international agencies.
