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. ;

Contract related to: Expenditure Verification and System Audit of Project reference 446787 CREASION, 452358 REDD BARNA and 454964 PIN - Nepal¿s Constitution (2015) guarantees the right to compulsory and free education up to basic level and free secondary education to every citizen. The government, with support from the EU and other partners, has undertaken a series of national programmes in the education sector over the past two decades that have contributed to reducing education inequalities, improving governance, financing, and efficiency. However, challenges remain, especially in learning outcomes and equity in education, especially for girls and marginalised groups.  Nepal¿s progress in education has experienced a severe shock with the COVID-19 pandemic, which increased pre-existing disparities in access, participation and learning outcomes. An intensive corrective response over the next years will be necessary to recover the learning losses. The Government of Nepal has worked in close coordination with development partners from 2020 to 2022 to develop the School Education Sector plan (SESP), which covers 2021 to 2030. The SESP differs from previous school sector plans in that it is designed in line with the new federal structure of governance for the Education system in Nepal, which has devolved many responsibilities for school education to local governments. The SESP is funded jointly by the Government of Nepal and donors covering the whole school sector education in Nepal. This action supports the SESP and has been jointly programmed with the government and development partners, in particular with UNICEF and Finland focusing on SDG (and SESP) targets such as quality, gender equity and inclusive education. It¿s aligned to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE). This action foresees support for 4 years, including the transitional year. The potential EU support to the 2 years following these will be assessed after the Mid Term evaluation of the EU Multi-annual Indicative Programme (MIP) 2021-2027. In line with the vision of the SESP, the overall objective of the EU action will contribute to a well-educated and skilled society in Nepal which is able to play an active role in the social and economic development of the country. The action will support three specific objectives of the SESP: 1.        improve equitable and inclusive access to education for all children, especially those who are socially and economically disadvantaged, children from marginalised groups and children with disabilities 2.        improve the quality and relevance to free basic and secondary education and ensure minimum learning achievements of each child3.        strength the local system delivery capacity by promoting good governance, intergovernmental coordination and collaboration and by developing institutional capacity at local levelThe main expected results will be: i) improved education enrolment and completion of all children; ii) reduction of disparities in learning outcomes; iii) improved teaching quality and student learning achievements and iv) improved capacities of local governments in implementation of the SESP.While the action will support the nation-wide education system through the budget support modality, the complementary measures will focus on the three provinces with lowest learning outcomes so far (Karnali, Sudurpashchim and Madhesh), and also provide an opportunity to increase visibility through `EU-supported schools¿.
