JTUCC is lobbying pro-worker provisions into labour legislation, like the right to strike and to neg otiate, and implementation of a fair social security system. Thus, the cooperation among trade unions and Confederations and strengthening their capacity and representation are very important in this volatile situation. Results of this project will be more effective lobbying of pro-worker labour policies, decent work principles, minimum wage levels, and OHS standards into national legislation. The capacity of interest representation of the trade union movement will be developed through training and the awar eness of the labour and trade union rights will be raised among workers. The main beneficiaries are Confederations, their coordination committee JTUCC, trade union activists, leaders and ultimately the workers. The contract partner is JTUCC.

F.a: Decent Work and forestry in Nepal
80%data completenessThe unions participating in the project continue organizing forest workers, with the aim of getting 10?000 new members in four years. Occupational health and safety measures continue to reduce the number of accidents and injuries in forestry work. The unio ns advocate for legislation that influences interest representation of forestry workers, and participate in cooperation with environmental organizations to promote sustainable green jobs. The major problems of the forestry sector are unstable work relatio nships and dangerous working conditions. Awareness of rights, collective bargaining and union density have before the project been low, and before 2016 workers of the sector were not even officially recognized as workers. The project activities have brough t around 20?000 new members to the unions, and close to 12?000 people have participated diverse types of trainings and advocacy work. Almost 2?000 people have through cooperatives gained additional income to supplement the forestry work, making use of othe r products of the forest, such as tree leave plates, mushrooms, berries and honey. The cooperation with environmental organizations, especially WWF, has reduced tensions between forestry workers and environmentalists by fitting together sustainable forestr y and conservation, as well as nature tourism. This last project phase ensures the continuity and sustainability of the work done in the current target regions and through spreading the successful models of action to a few new districts. The project benef its Nepalese forestry workers and their families through improved income and safety, as well as the participating unions through strengthened membership base, negotiation position and cooperation in advocacy work. The main actors of the project are BWI NAC (Building and Wood Workers’ International Nepal Affiliates Committee) as the coordinating cooperation body and its affiliates CAWUN (Construction and Allied Workers’ Union in Nepal), CUPPEC (Central Union of Painters, Plumbers, Electro and Constructio n in Nepal) and ANCWU (All Nepal Construction Workers’ Union) that implement the project in cooperation with WWF Nepal.

Supporting Democracy through Digital Investigative Journalism in Nepal
80%data completenessThis continuation project has its former partner organisation and a new content digital journalism. The immediate objective of this project is to impart digital investigative journalism skills to journalists. This 2017-2020 project is a) to create a pool o f investigative journalists skilled in the use of multi-media and data journalism tools b) to spread that know-how to the regional media and strengthen their investigative journalism content. Nepal's media landscape is diversifying with the arrival of new media platforms including online news portals and social media providing an effective alternate medium. To stay effective and relevant in this changing landscape investigative reporters need to adapt to and adopt these skills. The former project 2013-2015 taught basic skills in investigative journalism to 70 journalists in various regions of the country. The shifting eyeballs towards digital portals in the past years has shown Nepalis now have an alternative outlet of publication and syndication of investig ative stories that would otherwise have been sensitive for the corporate media. However the use of digital interfaces that use multimedia and datajournalism tools is deficient. The evaluation report of the earlier project between CIJ and VIKES has stated n ecessity for a training based on feedback from trainee reporterstrainers and editors working in various Nepali media. Accordingly the proposed project aims at training journalists to adopt digital tools for investigating and reporting on matters crucial to common interest. The project will also support CIJ to develop its own capacity to train and mentor investigative journalists in the use of multimedia and datajournalism techniques. Democratic ownership of development is a crucial element in human rights -based development. For citizens to know their rights and be able to exercise them they need an independent and critical media that serves their right to information. This is effectively being done in developed countries through promotion of investigativ e journalism. The project aims to do the same in Nepal through its activities.

F.a: Advocacy for ensuring energy justice and sustainable energy to vulnerable groups and marginal communities in Nepal
80%data completenessIn Nepal, the Electricity Bill and Renewable Energy Bill are in the drafting process and will be submitted to the parliament during 2020. During this process, private sector has been actively providing efforts for maximizing their benefits, however the voi ce of vulnerable groups and marginalized communities who are in extreme energy poverty, and are unable to afford the electricity tariff and connection cost, is very weak. These bills are really very important legislative instruments for securing energy jus tice and sustainable energy to the vulnerable groups and marginalized communities in Nepal. However, there are lots of gaps, issues, and challenges while drafting these bills to ensure energy justice to these communities. This project ?Advocacy for ensur ing energy justice and sustainable energy to vulnerable groups and marginal communities in Nepal? will focus on sensitizing the national policy makers for formulation of appropriate legislation. The advocacy work will be done via capacity building workshop s, seminars and policy discussions, via information material and demand papers as well as wider media campaign. Activities will be carried out together with the CSO network National Alliance for Energy Justice. Implementation of the project will result i n ensured legal provisions on energy justice (Electricity Bill and Renewable Energy Bill being the immediate ones), and strong networking of energy sector CSOs at national level. National policy makers will be aware of the real energy need of vulnerable gr oups and marginalized communities. Well informed policy makers will support to incorporate energy justice provisions in the legislation. Some of the incentive mechanisms for energy justice to vulnerable groups and marginalized communities will be introduce d in the energy related periodic plans and programs of the government. Total direct beneficiaries of the project will be 330 including national policy makers including parliament members, and relevant government authorities, and major stakeholders. Furth ermore 10,000 people will be reached through wider media campaign. Project partner Nepal Energy Foundation (NEF) is a member-based organization that works in energy sector of Nepal.

How to read project data
A missing budget or date means the source did not provide it to Nepal Impact; it is not an estimate. Completeness measures the presence of core fields, while data confidence reflects source-level trust. Use the original source and the correction link on each project page for verification.
