Rural Health Development Project
Through its project planning and implementation approach RHDP has empowered community groups, especially women, and also influenced the village development committees (VDCs) to integrate community health demands in VDC planning, and thus contributed to local state building and better service delivery. After 17 years of cooperation, this will be the last phase of RHDP that will focus on consolidation and sustainability. As in the past, the project will aim at improving overall health status of people, especially of women, poor and disadvantaged groups in remote areas of Dolakha, Ramechhap and Okhaldhunga districts. Primary beneficiaries will be women, children, adolescents, and men, with special attention to Dalits and Janajatis.

Reconstruction of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Services
On April 25, 2015, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal and was followed by a series of large aftershocks. The earthquakes resulted in over 8,700 deaths and 22,000 injuries, 2.8 million displaced and 3.5 million in need of food assistance. In response to the earthquake, Canada established the Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund that committed the Government of Canada to matching eligible private donations to approved Canadian organizations. With funding from the Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund, the project improves the wellbeing of 260,000 people by increasing access to and use of safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services in severely and crisis-hit earthquake affected areas in Nepal. The project trains local government officials and community organizations to respond to the current and future WASH needs of these communities, building resilience for the long-term. Beneficiaries are people unserved or under-served by adequate WASH services and include women, children and people of lower castes. Local governments and community organizations educate over 250,000 people, at least half of whom are women, on how to use WASH services and practice healthy hygiene behaviours. The project advances women's participation as decision-makers on critical WASH and health issues, and ultimately reduces gender inequalities in access to and control over WASH-related resources and benefits of development. The project focuses on the districts of Dolakha, Sindhupalchowk, Nuwakot and Kavrepalanchok. Activities are implemented by a national Water Expertise and Training Centre, hosted by the Environment and Public Health Organization.

F.a: Encouraging Sustainable Livelihood of Marginalised Farmers in Rural Nepal
Nepal has been supplying 1500 unskilled youth per day for foreign labour work. This very popular youth (majority male) out-migration has resulted feminization of agriculture in the villages of Nepal. Also, a huge amount of farmland has been abandoned, and the remaining women farmers have moved away from multi crops / multi plants tradition to single crops / single plant practices in the name of commercialization of farming. That is how rural Nepal has been being converted from biodiversity friendly places t o a completely different farmland. In this project aim is to advance following issues: #- Advance discussion on the importance of maintaining biodiversity #- Facilitate newly emerged women farmers to understand sustainable livelihood and benefits in mainta ining biodiversity while doing farming.#- Let rural youths to have comparative perspectives of out-migration for similar unskilled jobs vs. continue doing farming in the village #- Facilitate understanding of newly elected leadership about the above mentio ned themes. #- Engage with other CBOs in the line of open space to popularise alternative ideas, plans and policies. #Following activities are planned:# Avail platform for rural women farmers to understand benefits of maintaining biodiversity for the hu mankind, and how it helps increasing their incomes for their own livelihood. # Engage with youths (both returnees and aspirants for out-migration without any skills) so that the aspirants know the true picture of out-migration by the returnees, that eventu ally encourages them not to go out for similar unskilled jobs but retain in the village. # Give publicity of above mentioned activities to encourage other women and youths from project uncovered areas not only by publishing newsletters, books, journal arti cles, op-ed, etc., but also by organising regional and national consortiums and networks under the banner of Nepal Social Forum, Asian Social Forum, Forum for Sustainable Development, etc. #Though the direct beneficiaries of the project will be rural wo men, youths and elected representatives of a few villages, people of Nepal will be indirectly benefited from the project.#The project is implemented by SADED-Nepal in the rural areas of Kavre, Dolakha and Nuwakot Districts. A tentative plan is to cover 19 village communities in the project. National dialogues and Social Forum related activities will be in Kathmandu and Lalitpur districts of Nepal.
