Contract related to: Promoting Dignity and Political Participation of Persons with Disabilities in Nepal- The CLAIM - Human rights and democracy are founding values of the EU. Protecting and promoting HR&D is therefore a key priority of the EU¿s external action. It is also a precondition for sustainable development and for building more inclusive, open and resilient societies.Yet, recent data show that globally, most countries are far from having acceptable human rights and democracy track records. In this context, worsened by the COVID crisis, the EU re-affirmed its commitment to support human rights and democracy worldwide by adopting the `Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy 2020-2024¿. The Action Plan identifies priorities and key actions, to ensure that the EU plays a greater role in promoting and defending human rights and democracy throughout its external action. The Regulation (EU) 2021/947 (Global Europe) establishes the legal basis for the human rights and democracy actions. Particularly, its annex III details the areas of intervention for human rights and democracy.The overall objective of the present action is to contribute to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, democracy and the rule of law worldwide. The action will achieve this objective by supporting and strengthening civil society organisations (CSOs), democracy activists and human-rights defenders working on critical human rights and democracy issues in non-EU countries. It may also cover, where relevant, the promotion of international humanitarian law. Consequently, it will contribute to the 5 priorities of the Multiannual Indicative programme 2021-2027 as well as the specific priorities set out for the additional funding coming from the cushion.This action will mainly be implemented by EU Delegations in-country so as to: (i) better respond to the country-specific contexts; (ii) be as close as possible to the needs of the rights holders; and (iii) promote a sense of `ownership¿ of the action among local actors. The actions financed at country level will be in line with: (i) the EU action plan for human rights and democracy; (ii) EU guidelines on human rights; and (iii) the respective Human Rights and Democracy country strategies or priorities under the EU accession process. All actions will follow a human rights based approach putting people at the centre of actions and also focusing on promoting gender equality.

Contract related to: ACCESS - Accelerating Civil Society's role in securing education for all in Madesh, Karnali and Sudurpaschim Provinces - 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. It is a continuation to the previous education sector programs SSDP (2016-2021) and SSRP (2009-2016), both of which were supported by the EU.This 5 years measure support is part of the EU Multi-annual Indicative Programme (MIP) 2021-2027 and it is&nbsp;complementary with ¿Quality Education for All¿, the EU support to SESP implemented mainly by budget support. This measure supports the role of the CSOs in the implementation of the SESP. The action intends to ensure the participation of civil society in the implementation and monitoring in the policy, by focusing on SDG targets such as quality, gender equity and inclusive education. The overall objective of this action is to enhance civil society capacity to strengthen education goals by improving the participation of civil society, their efforts to enhance advocacy and to ensure transparency and increased effectiveness in national educational policy and implementation processes. The specific objectives are: 1) to strengthen national civil society engagement in education sector planning, policy dialogue and monitoring and 2) to strengthen civil society¿s role in promoting access to education for all girls and boys, transparency and accountability of national education sector policy and implementation.The main expected results will be: i) Improved participation of CSOs in the implementation of the SESP at federal, provincial, local and school level; ii) Improved CSO¿s capacities for advocacy and for designing initiatives to increase the access to education of socially and economically disadvantaged girls and boys, girls and boys from marginalised groups and girls and boys with disabilities; iii) Improved CSO¿s capacities for enhancing transparency and accountability in the implementation of the SESP.
