Improving Maternal Health and Reducing Malnutrition for 1,000 women and their children in Bajura, Far West of Nepal
Province 7 is one of the most remote and poorest areas of Nepal (HDI: 0.31) with 62.5% of population living in poverty (CBN) and ranked most vulnerable in Nepal (DFID 2017). The project will aim to reduce maternal mortality rates and improved local structures of maternal healthcare provision for 1,000 women in two communities in Province 7 - Rugin and Bichhaya - and improve agricultural productivity and production and income for vulnerable women, by empowering 625 women through productive resources, inputs, confidence, and knowledge. The project will support poor and vulnerable families (including infants) to have better access to safe, nutritious food all year round and improved resilient agricultural practices which will strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, and other disasters.
