Association Information
Association Activity : In 1984 the Association for Craft Producers has been founded under the Society Registration Act of B.S 2034 (1977) as a private, professional non-profit organization. The founding members of ACP (all of whom individuals with sound experience in women and development) had the vision of a autonomous organization which could do business as well as work for the development of the craft workers. Their past experience also told them that training alone could hardly help promote handicraft production unless backed by an integrated support mechanism which included, among others, supply of raw material, design, quality control and organized market outlets. This experience gave rise to a new concept of providing training emphasizing the up-gradation of existing basic skill of the producer through continuous on-the-job training which ultimately unleashed the full potential of the producers. The action wasinitiated with 38 producers and 5 full time staff in a rented building with 4000 sq. ft area with donors support in three skill categories. ACP has achieved steady growth since its inception, and today ACP is providing services to 1,200 artisans (women constituting 90%) from 15 districts of Nepal in 22 skill categories. We have 60 full time staff members and permanent facility of 43,000 sq. ft. area. We no longer have donor's support . Since past 20 years, wehave been self sustained and achieved annual turnover of over one million US dollars. We are maintaining sustainability not only from financial standpoint but also in technical and human resource development. 80% of ACP's production comes from individual and group producers outside our headquarters. Our headquarters has the facility for raw material preparation, prototype development, and finishing of crafts. Currently 100 producers are engaged in these activities. Mission The primary focus is to create a permanent system of management that provides regular design, market, management and technical services to low income craft producers that results in regular adequate wages to supplement family income and improve the overall standard of living. ACP provides services to both urban and rural producers. Objectives To increase the number of jobs that we can provide for low income producers to 1,500 by 2010. 25% increase in the fund for producer benefits by 2010. Increase sales of 25% by 2010.
