(Nepal): The DFID-USAID co-funded Family Planning (FP) activity aims to generate new knowledge for better evidence-based programing that improves the health of women and children in Nepal through increased access to and utilization of FP methods. The activity specifically focuses on service delivery for women from vulnerable groups with low contraceptive prevalence and high fertility. Using FY 2015 funds, the project will support the testing of innovative models in six different districts with the purpose of gathering evidence for scale-up of effective FP interventions. Some examples of models to be tested include the introduction of interpersonal communication through female community health volunteers, roving providers to the poorly-staffed public health facilities and the provision of comprehensive FP services through mobile camps. Furthermore, this co-funded project will help support upcoming DFID-supported Nepal Health Sector Support Program in coordination with government counterparts.

This Research Support Project (RSP) seeks to enhance the knowledge base on the interactions between women’s paid and unpaid work through two complementary activities. First, it will consolidate evidence from a four- country study (India, Nepal, Tanzania and Rwanda) supported under the Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) program on how women’s child care responsibilities interact with their economic prospects. Second, it will foster policy dialogue on ways to support women achieve better balance between paid and unpaid work. The GrOW project, which was successfully completed, was instrumental in highlighting women’s daily struggle to balance unpaid care and paid work, often leading to depletion of their physical and emotional capacities, and negatively impacting on their children. This research adopted a broad definition of care to include direct care of people as well as indirect household tasks such as care of animals, and collection of fuel and water. While this approach was valuable in understanding the social organization of care, disaggregating the various care tasks is important to provide the basis for targeted policy action. This RSP aims to fill this gap by analyzing the data to understand the difference in the extent and type of depletion that women face because of direct care of people, and the indirect care tasks. The resulting working paper and policy brief will shed light on the extent to which provision of childcare facilities can facilitate women’s engagement in the paid labour force, and thereby assess their importance as a policy solution across various country contexts.

At the sixth regional meeting of the 14 South Asian think tanks in Bangkok in December 2016, the participants collectively highlighted the strong need for capturing and documenting the transformative role that Think Tank Initiative (TTI) support has played in their organizations over the past seven to eight years. Furthermore, there was strong will to ensure that the stories of organizational change in the lives of think tanks and their directors are communicated to help demonstrate the value of core support in strengthening think tanks in ways unparalleled by project funding, particularly in creating conditions for long-term sustainability, strengthening organizational systems, and enhancing the effectiveness of think tanks. IDRC is supporting this initiative to document and share experiences and lessons learned, in collaboration with the Institute for Social and Environmental Transition – Nepal. The directors of all 14 TTI-supported institutions will contribute to a publication detailing how core support from TTI helped them strengthen research quality, operational effectiveness, and policy engagement. The Think Tank Initiative (TTI) is a multi-funder program dedicated to strengthening independent policy research institutions, or think tanks, in developing countries. The program aims to enhance their ability to provide sound research that informs and influences policy. This second TTI phase (2014‒2019) will fund 43 institutions, helping them consolidate their role as credible development actors in their countries, and in some cases, regionally, and internationally.

Given the importance of strong leadership, management, and governance in building and sustaining effective organizations, the think Tank Initiative (TTI) has developed an Organizational Leadership, Management, and Governance Fund for TTI-funded institutions. This fund provides an opportunity for think tanks to take advantage of additional support from TTI to strengthen their leadership, organizational management, and governance to position them for organizational resilience and long-term sustainability when TTI ends in 2019. The fund aims to complement the core funding and other supplementary support provided to achieve their long-term organizational change objectives. Each TTI-supported organization prioritized its greatest needs against three categories for targeting support: executive directors or senior management; staff who have been identified in succession planning processes in the face of impending executive director retirement or departure; and new or existing board or assembly members with a need/desire to strengthen their governance skills and competences. This project covers assistance to the following TTI grantees: Institute for Social and Environmental Transition (Nepal), the trustees of the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability (India), BRAC University (Bangladesh), the Public Affairs Centre (India), the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (Pakistan), the Centre for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (India), the Centre for Policy Dialogue (Bangladesh), the Indian Institute of Dalit Studies, and the National Council of Applied Economic Research (India).

IDRC is committed to developing a critical mass of trained and experienced researchers and innovators in Canada and in low- and middle-income countries to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. This project will nurture emerging leaders in the application of research to solve development problems in innovative ways and to build careers in relevant fields. It will fund both academic study and hands-on experience. Some awards will enable doctoral students at Canadian universities to do field research in developing countries. Other awards will offer graduates a program of training in research, research management, and grant administration, under the guidance of IDRC program staff. In addition, a Canadian Science Policy Fellow will spend 12 months at IDRC on one or more special projects to inform evidence-based policy in an area of mutual interest to the Fellow and the Centre. In total, the project will support training and research awards for more than 30 Canadian and developing country nationals.

A powerful 7.8 Richter magnitude earthquake hit central Nepal on April 25, 2015, causing over 8,700 deaths and more than 22,000 injuries. Hundreds of thousands of homes were flattened, some 15,000 government buildings and 288,797 residential buildings were destroyed, and some 8,000 schools and 1,000 health facilities were damaged. Over half of Nepal's districts were affected by this event. Through this project, the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) will carry out rehabilitation and reconstruction in Dhungentar, Nepal, covering about 100 severely affected households. The focus of the intervention includes restoration of housing and public buildings, restoration of basic infrastructure such as roads and irrigation systems, and development of local capacity for better disaster mitigation and risk management through knowledge gathering, sharing, and dissemination. The goal is to build resilient mountain community model villages, with climate- and earthquake-resilient housing, and to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Communities will be actively involved in the project through their village development councils. Training will be provided to community members in sustainable rehabilitation and reconstruction in a post-disaster scenario. The efforts will help the mountain communities to better prepare for climate and non-climate hazards and the knowledge generated through the project will be shared throughout the region for better disaster planning and preparedness.
