Background:

The South Asian Centre of Policy Studies (SACEPS) emerged out of recognized need to build an institution that would give distinct shape to the realization of a shared future for South Asia. SACEPS was formed at the initiative of a group of eminent persons of the region at the Centre of Policy Dialogue (CPD) Dhaka, in February 1998.

The centre was originally hosted by CPR in New Delhi, and later shifted to CPD, Dhaka on July 2000. Since August 1, 2005 SACEPS has established a permanent Secretariat in Kathmandu, and is closely associated with its national partner Institute of Integrated Development Studies (IIDS).

The overall objectives of SACEPS is to promote regional cooperation amongst the member countries of South Asia Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) in the field of development research, policy studies and policy advocacy. SACEPS hopes to promote policy dialogues and interaction with civil society to provide a regional perspective to public policies of mutual concern, across these countries and also project a regional profile for South Asia in the global arena. SACEPS not only seeks to build business and professional networks within South Asia but also aims to draw together the initiatives of the enormous wealth of civil organizations including NGOs of the region, committed towards releasing a shared agenda for social transformation within the region.

Today, SACEPS is a network organization involved in addressing regional issues, and establishing national institution, which can provide the building block for a South Asian community. SACEPS is designed to develop itself as a source for aggregating the resources of all regional and national programmes and institutions, in the realization of a shared purpose. SACEPS will thus seek to expand its institutional linkage in all South Asian countries and thereby broaden the network of institutions involved in the process of South Asian cooperation.
