Nepal will utilize two pronged approaches: (i) Deepening and diversifying the ongoing work of SDHS in two districts of SudurpaschimProvince as a core impact site; and (ii) Expanding in a new district in Karnali Province as a scaling out/up site. The project will benefit a total of 15,000 beneficiaries (2,500 direct and an additional 12,500 indirect beneficiaries) through partnerships with governments (local to national), CSOs and networks, and development partners with similar priorities active in the regions. In 2024, the project will establish partnerships with government, National Federation of Farmers Group (NFGF), Community Seed Bank Association of Nepal (CSBAN), Land Rights and Right to Food Networks, and value chain actors and private sectors. Global Partners and Allies will include (1) Agroecology Coalition: The program partner (LI-BIRD) will join the Agroecology coalition and contribute to the Agroecology Campaign by sharing the ground evidence and documentation and forge collaboration to strengthen the Agroecology movement in Nepal. (2) Farmer Managed Systems Group led by Oxfam Novib and CRS: The program will actively contribute on issues related to farmer-managed seed systems by sharing Nepal learnings in Farmer's Variety Registration and Source Maintenance Forum. The program will actively participate and engage in organising workshops and side events in relevant international forums such as CBD and ITPGRFA. (3) International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD): IFAD is supporting Nepalgovernment in developing a project based on agroecology entitled ‘Resilient High-Value Agriculture Project (R-HVAP)’ to be implemented in Sudurpaschim, Karnali and Lumbini Provinces. LI-BIRD contributed significantly to the design of this project, and expects to collaborate during the implementation phase.
