Under the auspices of cida, the Nigeria Community Development Program (cdp) was established in a context of repression and impoverishment that characterized the regime of the former Nigerian dictator, General Sani Abacha. The aim of the cdp was to contribute to the promotion of human rights and democratic development at the grassroots. Working with partner cbos, the cdp found itself positioned at the interface of traditional, kinship institutions of governance and the local state. The article analyzes the cdp experience, and highlights the need to rethink inherited concepts such as civil society, and the nature of governance institutions at the local level, in order to expand democratic development to include grassroots women more fully
