This project aims to address food insecurity and climate change by building evidence to lobby the governments of Cambodia and Nepal to fund sustainable agriculture practices and systems.

The project aims to minimise the spread of COVID-19 through improved understanding and personal and environmental hygiene with a focus on women, girls and marginalised people. Sub-objectives are to: Communicate critical risk and information, particularly via women and girls, national and local women’s organisations and networks to all communities, receiving their feedback, and countering misinformation to ensure social cohesion and a joined up effort; and: Build on local learning and foster behaviour change (including gender norms) and national and local response capacity that will curve spread and produce more resilient and inclusive communities.

The aim of the Nepal Urban Resilience Project (NURP) is to support national and local government in strengthening the resilience of growing urban areas to natural disasters through improved building, planning and services. ICF and its consortium are providing technical assistance support to the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and municipal governments to achieve the following objectives: • Strengthen the disaster resilience of up to 7 rapidly urbanising areas and to facilitate learning from these urban areas to enable replication in other locations; and • Strengthen national policy development, implementation and monitoring in relation to disaster resilience, as well as stronger coordination and collaboration between the Government and development partners nationally.
