Empowering women and community-based organizations of Western Mountain for a resilient local food system (EMPOWER)
The proposed project aims to strengthen resilient local food systems by empowering women smallholders, marginalized communities, and civil society actors in Budhinanda Municipality (Bajura district, Sudurpaschim province) and Khatyad Municipality (Mugu district, Karnali province). Over a period of 44 months (November 2025 - June 2029), the project will directly benefit 1,600 smallholder farming households (3,200 individu-als), primarily women-headed, by improving their food, nutrition, and income security through the adoption of agroecological farming practices. The project will also work with elected representatives, extension workers from local and provincial govern-ments, and community-based organizations, including producer groups and resource user associations, to build institutional capacities for sustainable agricultural govern-ance. Implemented in partnership with LI-BIRD (Local Initiatives for Biodiversity Re-search and Development), KCDC (Karnali Community Development Centre), and FWEAN (Federation of Women Entrepreneurs Associations of Nepal), the initiative will ensure effective execution, local ownership, and long-term impact.
