Bhaktapur craft printers Community development through paper production The community development through paper production and greeting cards project (CDPPG) was founded in 1981 as a strategy for community development. It has since been developed and expanded by his majesty's government of Nepal (HMGN) in collaboration with UNICEF - Nepal. The expanded project under the name of Bhaktapur Craft Printers (BCP), has launched several community development programmes in different parts of Nepal, aiming specifically to improve the quality of life of the poor and underprivileged and enabling the craftsmen and their families to better their lives and revitalize the local economy.
At present, the BCP programmes cover the five district of Baglung, Parbat, Myagdi, Lamjung and Gorkha in the mid-west, and Bhaktapur in central region. BCP invests a substantial percentage of its profits into community development activities in these districts in the areas of water supply, sanitation and school support. BCP has been a model sustainable project, initiated by UNICEF, a self- sustained organization, and working in collaboration with the Small Farmers Development Programme/Agricultural Development Bank, The Department Of Forest and The Department Of Cottage And Small Industries.
