The Centre for Community Economics and Development Consultants Society (CECOEDECON) was initiated by a group of young social workers to provide relief to the flood victims in Jaipur district in 1982. Over the last 29 years, the organisation has become one of the leading NonGovernmental Development Organizations in Rajasthan, India. With time, Cecoedecon has emerged as a robust civil society organization in Rajasthan with a strong grassroots base while also working on issues at state, national and international level. During its 29 years of existence, Cecoedecons strategy has evolved from relief and rehabilitation operations, into a more needs based paradigm leading towards a Rights Based Approach (RBA). Over the last few years, the organization has been able to make substantial progress with regard to the implementation of the Rights Based Approach in general and the linkage between micro and macro issues in particular. Cecoedecon has concentrated more on facilitating the emergence and interrelatedness of strong organisations, which are owned by the reference communities. The capacity of these organisations has reached a level where they are in a position to articulate their rights and are able to influence policies on a spectrum of issues, ranging from agriculture policy, water policy, minimum support prices and issues with regard to Panchayati Raj Institutions, specially the governance issues related to women elected representatives. CECOEDECONs experience for Gender Development Since its inception, Cecoedecon is working on gender issues in different dimensions and the strategy has changed from gender as a facilitation point to being a crosscutting theme in all its programs and activities. Over the years the unit has developed its capacities in various aspects such as trainings to CBOs, PRIs, government functionaries, partner organizations for capacity building, gender sensitization and organizing campaigns on gender issues, conducting legal literacy camps, addressing women policies and laws, popularizing government schemes etc. Unit is mainly engaged in eliminating all forms of gender discrimination from all the spheres of the society. Organization is directly working with Community Based Organizations and local governance in rural areas of Rajasthan and unit is engaged in capacity building of these CBOs & PRIs on gender issues. Cecoedecon organized Public Hearings on violence against women with Rajasthan State Women Commission and UNICEF. A family-Counseling Centre funded by Social Welfare Board was started. Gender Unit of the organization established Gender Resource Centre for bringing awareness about the women rights and legal provisions.

The unit is very closely involved in building and developing micro - macro linkages by way of being a member of various organizations viz; the Association of Women's Rights in Development (AWID), Women Power Connect, International Women Congress, International Women and Health Meeting at the International level. At National level it is associated with SaDhan- a national forum on micro finance initiative, sexual reproductive rights initiative for joint action network (SRIJAN) National Women Commission, Ministry of Women & Child Development, Mamta Health Institute for Mother & Child etc. At the state level it is associated with Rajasthan State Women Commission, Indira Gandhi Panchayati raj Sansthan (IGPRS) Women Resource Centre, Centre for Health Education, Training and Nutrition Awareness (CHETNA) UN Agencies like UNDP, UNICEF, UNFPA, Women Power Connect and The Hunger Project etc. Former Justice V. S. Dave is associated with the organization at the position of Chairperson. Justice Pana Chand Jain also associated with the organization. As the problem of sex selection is alarming in Rajasthan, Cecoedecon is working to bring awareness about the issue in its working areas and recently organized a campaign regarding PCPNDT Act. Sex selection is now an issue of discussion in all our programs related to gender and health. We also tried to draw the attention of political parties towards the issue during assembly election for the purpose of inclusion of it in their agenda. Cecoedecon initiated A Participatory Mechanism for Enhancing the Value of Girl Child: Project for eliminating sex selection in Newai (Tonk) and Chaksu (Jaipur) blocks with the support of UNFPA Women Power Connect for three years. Organization is the member of PCPNDT monitoring committee at Tonk District, Rajasthan. In alliance with USAID, we had undertaken a 6 month long project to sensitize and enhance the awareness of the legal service providers and legal system for addressing the issues of domestic violence, health and legal counseling services, PC & PNDT Act, PWDV Act 2005 and PCM Act. The project was titled, An initiative to build capacities of Rajasthan State Legal Services providers to increase their role in enhancing the dignity of women. This project was successfully implemented in Jaipur district between May & November 2010.
