Our aim is to co-develop, with stakeholders, innovative and context-appropriate ways to increase options for children to avoid engagement in hazardous exploitative labour. The primary beneficiaries will be children in modern slavery and the worst forms of child labour and those who are vulnerable to being drawn into it. The families of these children will benefit from greater resilience to shocks, better options for their children’s safe and healthy future and less intra-family stress and conflict. Businesses will benefit from practical solutions to child-labour free supply chains. Policy makers, NGOs, and researchers will benefit from a knowledge of what works. Action-Research for innovation: We will generate activities and interventions through a large scale action research process. Interventions will range from small scale solutions to local problems, behaviour change initiatives, and large scale pilots. Action research is a programming modality which combines evidence gathering and learning from action. It is designed to enable diverse groups to meet over a period of time to consider evidence and generate theories of change about interventions; plan and programme innovative solutions; test the solutions in real time, and then evaluate them. In this way action research groups act as engines of new innovation.

Disability inclusion is a neglected, under-prioritised issue in international development; a lack of evidence around what works in practice to deliver inclusion contributes to difficulty in building effective programmes. The DFID Disability Inclusive Development (DID) Programme is a £30m programme designed to contribute to the long-term improved well-being and inclusion of people with disabilities in low-and-middle-income countries. DID will carry out a series of small scale interventions around increased access to health care and education, improved livelihoods and reduced stigma and discrimination, using new development approaches such as adaptive management and community-based consultation to deliver better quality of life for persons with disabilities. The programme will create a solid evidence base around what delivers positive results for persons with disabilities to scale up, as well as ensure this data and evidence is disseminated and informs the global community and governments. DID will run for six years and complement DFID’s current disability inclusion programming including UK Aid Connect.

A Technical Assistance project to better train and place Nepalis in both domestic and international jobs. By primarily using a Challenge Fund mechanism, SEP will partner with the private sector to bring in innovative training models to address key gaps while also leveraging private sector resources. Models will focus on solutions in the ICT, tourism, commercial agriculture, light manufacturing, and hydropower sectors, all of which are key economic drivers for Nepal. The project will also look at partnering with relevant government entities to evaluate and recommend public training models, as well as develop skilling capacity at the provincial level. Along the way, SEP will provide targeted support to build capacity in key skilling areas with other Development Partners. The migration piece of SEP will focus on harnessing the benefits of migration for Nepal’s workforce and economic development. SEP will demonstrate a number of cost-effective models to increase migrants’ skills; lower financing and other costs of travelling abroad; and, increase savings and investment of remittances. Cross cutting will be financial literacy. SEP will work in tandem with efforts by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and other key counterparts in Nepal and Asia, which depends heavily on Nepali migrants. As a result, the project will help overcome the skills mismatch, reaching over 90,000 Nepalis with an increase in income attributed to the project. Of these beneficiaries, 40% are likely to be women and 30% from Disadvantaged Groups (DAGs) including Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). As FCDO’s implementing partner on this initiative, Louis Berger will coordinate its strategies and activities with major public, private sector, donor community, including donor agencies, and other stakeholders who are involved in providing support to the GoN in skills development.

PFMA2 will support reforms in government policies, systems and activities to improve PFM and revenue systems, and reduce opportunities for corruption in Government of Nepal (GoN) service delivery sectors that matter most for the poor. It will do this through the delivery of high quality analysis of fiduciary and corruption risks in key sectors in Nepal; support for the development and implementation of tailored sector PFM reform plans and activities; the provision of technical advice and capacity building on fiduciary and corruption risk mitigation and safeguards at the sectoral level; and support for embedded technical assistance and “hands-on” support in sector financial management and revenue administration reforms. PFMA2 builds on some elements of a previous programme (Deepening Public Financial Management and Accountability in Nepal) that supported PFM reforms within specific sectors (such as health, climate change, and peace and justice) and delivered analysis on fiduciary risks across the FCDO Nepal portfolio.

The proposed project aims to strengthen Nepal’s tuberculosis (TB) response through an integrated, community-driven approach focused in Madhesh Province, one of the country’s highest TB-burdened regions. Building on CARE Nepal’s long-standing experience in health systems strengthening and partnerships with the Global Fund and local governments, the project will improve TB prevention, detection, treatment, and governance. Over three years, the partnership will enhance service delivery in health facilities, mobilise frontline health workers and community volunteers, and promote community engagement to reduce stigma and increase treatment adherence. The programme will also leverage CARE’s proven tools such as the Community Health Score Board (CHSB), Social Analysis and Action (SAA) approach, and the HEAL Hub digital platform to improve accountability, empower communities, and scale digital and AI-enabled innovations for TB detection and adherence monitoring. By embedding resilient health systems and linking TB care with early warning mechanisms, nutrition, and livelihoods, the project will contribute to sustainable, equitable health outcomes and strengthen local governance through the institutionalisation of the TB-Free Municipality initiative in line with Nepal’s national TB strategy.

FCDO's WASH Systems for Health Programme (WS4H) aims to support government-led initiatives to accelerate progress in their WASH priorities. The theory of change (TOC) sets out change pathways to drive performance improvements in focus WASH systems building blocks at national and selected sub-national levels to contribute to increased access and use of sustainable, inclusive and climate-resilient WASH services. Through collective actions with government and stakeholders, this will contribute to a progressive reduction in WASH-related diseases, particularly for women, children and infants in underserved, climate-vulnerable locations in Bangladesh and Nepal. In Bangladesh, we will work with rural Union Parishad and urban Municipality governments across two climate-vulnerable Upazilas (sub-districts) and at the national level to operationalize the National Strategy for Water Supply and Sanitation (NSWSS 2021) and support the transition to safely managed service levels for rural water supply and small-town sanitation. The project will work with mandated institutions, including Department for Public Health Engineering (DPHE) and Local Government Institutions (LGIs), as well as private sector and community organizations to demonstrate models for safely managed, climate resilient WASH services; increase women's leadership for WASH to improve gender responsiveness; expand use of the Integrated Municipal Information System (IMIS) and participatory mechanisms for planning, financing, monitoring and regulating inclusive and resilient WASH services; and utilize learning platforms for replication and policy improvements. In Nepal, we will strengthen systems for decentralized WASH service delivery, focusing on safely managed, gender-responsive sanitation and hygiene service delivery in rural areas by leveraging the legal, political and institutional mechanisms that can support the three autonomous tiers of government to connect and function effectively as a system. The approach aims to improve system performance at the federal level, within two targeted provinces, and with one target District Coordination Committee (DCC) in each province. It will involve supporting the development of provincial legal frameworks for WASH, working with local governments in two provinces to prepare and utilize data-driven WASH plans and budgets, improving public finance flows, and building capacities for political advocacy by civil society networks and local government for prioritization and commitment for WASH at all levels
