CWISH had launched a project on Enhancing Child Protection System (ECPS I) from 2010-2013. ECPS I developed the capacity of government agencies and formed a National Child Protection Alliance (NCPA) of CSOs to carry out local level child protection movemen t. But the government agencies are yet to be made accountable to the legal and policy provisions. Nepal has formulated various laws and ratified international conventions regarding child protection; however it is yet to devise a structure that independentl y monitors the cases of child right violations. In this regard this project has been proposed to form a strong watch dog mechanism and to increase accountability of the government agenciesThe project has been proposed with the following overall objective: Children in Nepal are enjoying childhood in a caring safe and protected environment The specific objectives are:?Civil Society Organizations are working actively for the monitoring of the children right situation ? Government service providing agencies are working with increased accountability in their duty towards children Direct beneficiaries of the project are:? 75 CSOs and their 1000 members and 700 child right activists? 700 government officials in the district level who controls services delivered in the district level? 7000 children victim of violation of their right (whos cases are referred)In order to meet the objectives the project will extend and strengthen network of NCPA in all the 75 districts of Nepal capacitate them in monitoring detection an d referral of the cases of violation of child right. Hot line service and radio awareness program will be launched to make the community child protection mechanism aware about child right and to encourage them report cases of violation. Accountability tool s like citizen?s charter checklist of Entitlement and Social Audit will be promoted to increase transparency and accountability of the government.The project creates a new monitoring structure by working with the existing dutybearers of government and NCPA .The project makes provision of 50% participation of women in decision making level therefore taking gender equality into consideration. It also reduces inequalities by promoting the right of the marginalized children by working on a strong monitoring syst em.It indirectly contributes to climate sustainability by empowering local communities and civil societies to increase their access to resources.

This project focuses on the approximately 6300 Lhomi people living in the remote area of the highlands in northeast Nepal Khandbari and Kathmandu. The main development problems are: extreme poverty very high child + mother mortality no functional healthcar e system and poor education. In addition there are no roads and there is no electricity. The objectives of this project are threefold: - Increase the number of functionally literate children and adults in both Lhomi and Nepali- Provide awareness raising an d training in hygiene and basic healthcare midwifery veterinary skills- Set up 3 pilot MLE preschoolsA conclusive review of all the national policy papers concerning literacy work in Nepal indicates that the objectives and activities of this project are cl early in line with the strategic plans and policies of the government of Nepal. During a meeting in March 2008 between NELHOS the Ministry of Education and the Non Formal Education Centre (NFEC) the government representatives were very interested in the Lh omi project. Additionally Nepal?s most recent PRSP has been used as a reference point to lend more legitimacy to the project?s activities. There are two targets in the PRSP that are directly taken into account through this project:1. To improve literacy ra tes of people over 15 years old2. To increase literacy rates of women and girls over 15 years oldThe project?s ethos is influenced by international development policy objectives including the eradication of poverty through increased education promotion of women?s empowerment and gender equality use of environmentally friendly technology and the promotion of education as a basic human right. NELHOS seeks to improve the economic and social position of the Lhomi people through providing mother tongue education to Nepal?s Lhomi community in combination with vocational training. The link between education and poverty reduction is widely acknowledged in the international community. The project will also give women and girls a second chance to learn to read and wri te in Lhomi and Nepali. Approximately 85% of the project?s participants in the first stage were women; this was very successful.In order to accomplish the project?s objectives the following activities will take place:- Set up community development committe es in 18 villages- Manage an adult literacy program- Set up 3 MLE pilot preschools- Provide vocational training- Build NELHOS?s capacities

The emergence of mass-readership digital portals in the past two years have shown that Nepalis now have an alternative source of information than just the traditional mainstream press. This has provided an alternative outlet for publication and syndication of investigative stories that would otherwise have been sensitive for the corporate media. However many journalists still lack the technical skills to fully use digital platforms. The immediate objective of this project is to impart digital investigative journalism skills to the journalists.The broader objective of the project is to encourage investigative reporting on issues of vital public interest and continue CIJ?s effort to support investigative reporters logistically as well as in terms of building t heir capacity.Democratic ownership of development is a crucial element in development policy based on human rights. Citizens need independent critical information produced by investigative journalism if they are to know their rights and act for them. Reduc ing inequality and increasing equality are central to the project. Despite the federal democracy declared in 2007 Nepal is still experiencing political and administrative turmoil and a new constitution is pending. The devastating earthquakes of 25 April an d 12 May this year are posing new challenges to the nation at large.

Empowering Partners for Social Responsibility. The project aims to increase the capacity of a local partner to do holistic development work in local communities. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, where majority of the people live in rural areas. Fida’s partner in Nepal is the Assemblies of God church (AOG). The project provides training and awareness-raising for the partner on a great variety of issues related to development work. Fida and AOG work together in the local communities and t hrough this hands-on development work the partner acquires practical skills. The project focuses on three major components: Literacy, Community Health Education (CHE) and HIV/AIDS. As AOG’s skills and knowledge grow, the partner will become increasingly capable of doing effective community development work of its own. This will contribute to the increasing impact of the partner’s work at community level.
