F.a: Climate Resilient Villages

Project areas of Kalikot and Jajarkot districts in Nepal face several climate and livelihood challenges, made even worse by the Covid-19 that led the return of more than 50,000 migrant workers from India with no alternative income sources. These are contributing to already low agriculture productivity particularly among worse hit poor and vulnerable families such as women-headed households, Dalit and persons with disabilities. The aim of this project is to improve women-friendly, environmentally sustainable, and climate-resilient livelihood of these vulnerable and marginalized communities. Results of project activities: i) increased capacity in planning, management and implementation of women-friendly climate resilient and disaster risk reduction plans, ii) increased food production, nutrition and income through climate resilient, ecological agriculture and green market enterprises, and iii) improved capacity in implementing climate resilient and disaster risk reduction plans and programmes. The project beneficiaries are socially disadvantaged and marginalized farming families, particularly Dalits families, women, adolescent girls and persons with disabilities. Project activities also benefit CBNOs, farmer cooperatives, farmers? groups, SAMVAD centers, Eco Clubs, child right clubs, students, teachers and duty bearer bodies such as Palika offices, including Mayors and other elected members. The project is implemented by Group of Helping Hands (SAHAS) Nepal (https://www.sahasnepal.org.np/).
