During a meeting in March 2008 between NELHOS the Ministry of Education and the Non Formal Education Centre (NFEC) the government representatives were very interested in the Lh omi project. Additionally Nepal?s most recent PRSP has been used as a reference point to lend more legitimacy to the project?s activities. There are two targets in the PRSP that are directly taken into account through this project:1. To improve literacy ra tes of people over 15 years old2. To increase literacy rates of women and girls over 15 years oldThe project?s ethos is influenced by international development policy objectives including the eradication of poverty through increased education promotion of women?s empowerment and gender equality use of environmentally friendly technology and the promotion of education as a basic human right. NELHOS seeks to improve the economic and social position of the Lhomi people through providing mother tongue education to Nepal?s Lhomi community in combination with vocational training. The link between education and poverty reduction is widely acknowledged in the international community.

This project now takes proven approaches further by ensuring even more all-weather accessibility to markets and services by emphasising the importance of maintenance and preservation of built roads through promotion of labour-based roads maintenance methods and by fostering an institutional process in the districts, which should pave the way for the highly successful concepts of road construction and maintenance to be adopted as national standards.

The project empowers communities to claim their developmental rights by capacitating local civil society organisations (CSOs) to hold their local governments accountable. This is achieved by applying various social accountability (SA) tools. A protracted phase of political transition, a lack of structural accountability and transparency, rising corruption at all levels of government, and an absence of elected representatives makes the intervention highly relevant for target communities in SDC project areas.
