F.a: Enhancing Well-being of Migrant Workers
Migration for foreign employment has become a major source of income for the Nepalese. Though this has brought economic profits to many Nepali households and the nation, it has come with a costs. Those are the psychological stress and mental health problems, resulting in family disintegration,emotional and behavioral problems of children. Studies on living and working conditions of low-skilled migrants consistently revealed abuse and exploitation, including forced labor and trafficking. These ar reflected also on the migrants' family members during the absence but above all during the home living periods of the migrant workers. The trauma experinced by the returning migrant workers, or their families, are not spoken of, resulting in behavioral problems, reduced efficiency, loosing comprehension and cognitive ability, withdrawal etc. These have a ngatve impact on person's human relationships, wellbeing, health and and productivity. As a result of project, migrant workers and their families have improved their mental health and psychosocial wellbeing. Returnee migrant worker and their families have been engaged in self-employment, business or other livelihood initiatives. Also, local government has replicated the best practices of the project with sustained allocation or resources.

Community Irrigation Project
The project will develop or improve small-scale irrigation systems in 12 districts in Nepal through a community-driven process targeted at the poor, women, and other disadvantaged groups. Small irrigation systems are defined as systems with less than 25 hectares of irrigation area in the hills and mountains and less than 200 hectares in the Terai plains. The participating districts were selected because of their high poverty, food insecurity and irrigation potential. They are Kanchanpur, Kailali, Dang, Kapilvastu in the Terai plains; Doti, Salyan, Rukum, Rolpa, Pyuthan in the hills; and Bajhang, Jumla, Mugu in the mountains. As the first large-scale intervention in small irrigation development in Nepal, the project will demonstrate participatory irrigation planning and management and build the capacity of all levels of the government for small-scale irrigation development. Farmers will form or strengthen existing water users associations (WUAs) to apply for project support. The project will provide support to rehabilitate and build new surface water irrigation schemes and to develop groundwater irrigation through shallow tube wells. It will also facilitate access to microfinance support and provide extension services. For farmers without access to electricity who are installing shallow tube wells, the project will connect them to the electricity network. WUAs will in turn learn to manage water more efficiently and equitably, maintain their systems, and apply improved agricultural practices.
