The Government of Nepal has recognized that sound population policy formulation in the area of population and development, and the effective and efficient implementation of population policy depend on competent professional advice, research and analysis. The Government of Nepal has, therefore, worked with Tribhuvan University (TU) to establish a high quality research and training institution to serve the country's population and development program. The Central Department of Population Studies (CDPS) was established in 1988 by T.U. Council. Since 1990, CDPS has been modestly funded by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). It has grown and developed for the more than 30 years and has made significant contributions to the nation's population dynamics sector. The Department is also a focal point for conducting training and research activities for the government agencies, namely Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP). Besides, it has been working in collaboration with other several sectoral ministries and policy making and planning agencies. It is envisaged that CDPS will continue to grow, in line with the evolving needs for research and training in the country; and that it will emerge in due course as a major research and training center in South Asia.
