Development projects in Nepal

KFUM-Spejderne in Denmark has a long tradition of longstanding partnerships with foreign scout associations. We have now had a longer search for a possible new partner in South East Asia, and we found a match in capacity and intentions in Nepal Scouts. We have had a few online meetings, and we have agreed to clarify our possibilities in a physical meeting. We, therefore, wish to send a group from Denmark including 3 persons from the planning team to Nepal, and we will then meet with members of Nepal Scouts to set up guidelines for possible future cooperation. We have realised that exchanging values, wishes, and experiences with a possible new partner demands both time and presence, and this we believe can be an option through this Partner Identification trip. We also need to clarify our common understanding of the frame and the options in a possible future partnership, and we find a physical meeting is needed.

With this application we are applying for a Partner Identification in Nepal with NNDSWO. We have been in contact with each other for the last year, and we do have an idea about what a potential future project could look like, as well as a sense of mutual ambitions on behalf of our respective groups - but we still need to work on our foundation, and most importantly match our expectations in a partnership. When we first got in contact last year after a conference about international partnerships, we matched because both our organizations work hard on creating an environment where young people feel heard and where they can express themselves in democratic ways. Both organizations aspire young people to be a part of a community where their participation matters and where they can grow into strong and responsible citizens. All of this happens while they participate in or organize projects for their peers, and that?s where we see a huge potential with an international project like this; what existing projects can we learn from, what can we create with this target group and how can we build an even stronger group of young people in both Nepal and Denmark.

The exchange programme between NS and KS supports the ongoing partnership project, which focuses on ensuring long-term youth involvement in NS, based on the principle of youth teaching youth. The project pursues this goal by delivering local and provincial training for young scout leaders in key topics such as democratic values, mental health, and local changemaking. YLs in the exchange will act as cornerstones for reaching local groups, conducting trainings, and starting a domino effect whereby they teach others, driving continuous youth empowerment in both Nepal and Denmark and helping to break intergenerational barriers.

The Youth Leaders (YLs) will be connected to the Junkiri project, a partnership project between the Danish organization IMCC Nepal and the Nepalese organization Physicians for Social Responsibility Nepal Student Chapter (PSRN-SC) concerning Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and mental health. The purpose of the Youth Leader Exchange (YLE) is to strengthen the partnership between the organizations by facilitating capacity building and thereby supporting the project's activities. Just as important, the YLE allows easier communication and the opportunity to work with more rapidly growing results, which is also essential for motivation and sustainability. Recently, issues regarding bank transfer has caused a six-month delay in the beginning of the project. Therefore, the YLE will be supporting PSRN-SC in the process of kickstarting activities. The YLE will last 3 months in Nepal, but the YLs will continue to remain active in the organizations after the exchange.

The youth leader exchange will support the implementation of the Inclusive and Resilient Community with Empowered and Engaged People (ICE) that starts in May 2023 (annex 11). The project is implemented by Nepal Red Cross Society (NRCS) and Danish Red Cross (DRC) in rural municipalities in Lamjung District, Gandaki Province, Nepal. The DRC and NRCS has a long-standing partnership and have implemented projects in the Lambjung District for the past 15 years. The ICE project has a strong focus on empowering youth and vulnerable groups by capacity-building them to position themselves as agents of change in their families and communities and through improving their socio-economic status. Unemployment is a major challenge for youth in Nepal due to the caste system and inadequate economic growth. The youth leader exchange will support the project by strengthening the capacity of key NRCS youth volunteers to support local youth in Lamjung in building personal capacities and initiate youth-led projects to enhance their livelihood.

The purpose of the Youth Leader exchange (YLE) is to support the project objectives and activities and to strengthen the capacity and communication within the partnership. The previous YL’s' exchange to Nepal and project activities was cancelled, due to the COVID-19. We consider YLE as a great opportunity for our partnership to develop and for the motivation and communication to flourish again. The YLs will have a special focus on capacity building of members of PSRN in different workshops, and an ongoing evaluation of how the project is going in the ‘new’ project-district; Tanahun, where our teaching, empowerment, and advocacy work takes place. The duration of the YL exchange will be 3 months in Nepal, but the YLs will remain active members of our organizations after the exchange

The partnership between Eureka Leo Club (LEO) in Kathmandu, Nepal, and the Youth Council of Mariagerfjord (MFU), Denmark. The main activities will revolve around ‘speaking up’ despite generational or cultural differences or inequality of opportunity. The collaboration aims to be a sustainable project empowering young people between the age of 16-28. Nepal is relatively new-democratic, whereas in Denmark we have only lived in a democracy. We will explore activities that can inspire and empower young people to participate and take a stand, in order to feel a part of society and to prevent that we don’t take democracy for granted. In addition, the preparatory study will strengthen our relations and ensure a jointly written pilot project.

In our future partnership project, we wish to build the activities on our experiences from our last pilot project where mainly members of PSRN-sc went to rural areas of Nepal to teach young people in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The objectives of this preparatory study are to examine the opportunities of educating in SRHR to the same extent as we succeed in the pilot project. Other than that we wish to expand the teaching material with information about mental health and furthermore to investigate the possibility of reaching additional rural areas of Nepal.

The pilot project aims to organize a national youth forum in Nepal, bringing together Nepalese youth scouts from all provinces with the purpose of electing and supporting a youth council. The project also involves the participation of Danish youth as participants/facilitators, fostering intercultural exchange and discussions on democratic processes within their respective organizations. The Danish participants will gain inspiration and ideas from the interactions with the Nepalese scouts, observing their youth programs and initiatives. Meanwhile, the Nepalese participants will develop action plans at provincial and national levels, empowering them to become local changemakers. The target groups of the project include Danish and Nepalese youth, as well as the partnering organizations involved.

This project will contribute to reducing maternal and child deaths within a total population of 18,000 living in poverty in the Karnali Region, West Nepal. Poor health is linked to malnutrition and lack of access to health services; we will improve access to nutritious foods and basic health services, specifically for mothers and children (but also everyone else in the community). Support to government health services, health education and work with women’s groups will ensure people have access to and use health services appropriately and attend early with treatable illness; preventative services will help reduce illness. Food security will be improved through seed and stock distribution, access to better stud goats and training for male and female farmers in animal fodder production, soil management, irrigation methods and vegetable / vegetable seed production. ;
