About the organization

In 2008, a group of policy experts started establishing an organization focused on law and policy to ensure sustainable development and well-being through equity and justice. Laws influence where we live and shape the quality of our environment and as well as society. Laws can restrict or expand the choices and opportunities available to us.
CLPA Trust (Center for Law and Policy Affairs) has the mandate to ensure people’s policy for development and well-being. CLPA started in 2008 working on local and national level policy and registered as a non-profit organization in 2016.
CLPA team believes in ensuring sustainable development and working towards supporting and formulating national law and policy.  In this spirit, CLPA works at the community level with support from professionals and community-based organizations to take learning and success to the national level by adopting a bottom-up approach. Community Intervention, Law and Policy Research, Policy Advocacy, and Media Advocacy are the key strategies of our work.
We also take a multidisciplinary approach toward public interest intervention and legal, policy research built on an ethic of social engagement and a rigorous and independent analysis of the policy. Through our work, we aim to equip citizens to evaluate their own socio-political contexts better and improve access to justice for marginalized groups.
