Women groups from the earlier project area will continue to produce vegetables in their habitat areas or lease the land. They will also be involved in diversification of nutritious and high value vegetable crops by advancing their knowledge and skills. Continued social mobilization and capacity building process will empower them to raise their voices for land and food rights strongly and also integrate their real needs into local government?s annual programs. The new addition al groups will be capacitated to adjust with the existing groups. The project will continue with existing seven groups of 160 households in Rautahat District. There will be addition of maximum seven groups of the poorest, marginalized and landless Dalits women in Madhesh, totalling more than 150 households. Hence, there will be more than 300 women producers or households as direct beneficiaries and around 150 indirect beneficiaries (elected representatives and citizens).

F.a: Advocacy for ensuring energy justice and sustainable energy to vulnerable groups and marginal communities in Nepal
80%data completenessIn Nepal, the Electricity Bill and Renewable Energy Bill are in the drafting process and will be submitted to the parliament during 2020. During this process, private sector has been actively providing efforts for maximizing their benefits, however the voi ce of vulnerable groups and marginalized communities who are in extreme energy poverty, and are unable to afford the electricity tariff and connection cost, is very weak. These bills are really very important legislative instruments for securing energy jus tice and sustainable energy to the vulnerable groups and marginalized communities in Nepal. However, there are lots of gaps, issues, and challenges while drafting these bills to ensure energy justice to these communities. This project ?Advocacy for ensur ing energy justice and sustainable energy to vulnerable groups and marginal communities in Nepal? will focus on sensitizing the national policy makers for formulation of appropriate legislation. The advocacy work will be done via capacity building workshop s, seminars and policy discussions, via information material and demand papers as well as wider media campaign. Activities will be carried out together with the CSO network National Alliance for Energy Justice. Implementation of the project will result i n ensured legal provisions on energy justice (Electricity Bill and Renewable Energy Bill being the immediate ones), and strong networking of energy sector CSOs at national level. National policy makers will be aware of the real energy need of vulnerable gr oups and marginalized communities. Well informed policy makers will support to incorporate energy justice provisions in the legislation. Some of the incentive mechanisms for energy justice to vulnerable groups and marginalized communities will be introduce d in the energy related periodic plans and programs of the government. Total direct beneficiaries of the project will be 330 including national policy makers including parliament members, and relevant government authorities, and major stakeholders. Furth ermore 10,000 people will be reached through wider media campaign. Project partner Nepal Energy Foundation (NEF) is a member-based organization that works in energy sector of Nepal.

F.a: Enhancing knowledge and leadership capacity of youths for appropriate recognition of bio-cultural rights in Federal Nepal
80%data completenessHundreds of communities in different eco-regions (mountain, hill and low land tarai) of the country, are maintaining bio-cultural conservation practices in Nepal. Appropriate legal recognition of bio-cultural practices of these communities has become one o f the crucial but critical policy issues in Nepal. Numbers of new legislations are under formulation with little inputs from forest communities, civil society organisations including the youths. Studies, knowledge and capacities of youths are vital for the sustainability of bio-cultural conservation practices and critical and constructive public policy debates in Nepal's ongoing policy making processes. However, presence as well as voices of the youths in bio-cultural conservation practices and ongoing publ ic policy debates is completely absent. This project is developed to contribute in this policy gap. The expected result of the proposed project is better functioning and appropriate recognition of the bio-cultural conservation practices of forest communiti es through enhanced knowledge and leadership capacity of youths for the effective and sustainable bio-cultural conservation practices and constructive public policy debates in federal Nepal. This project aims to develop knowledge and leadership capacity of youths by facilitating them in self-documentation, self-analysis and self-dissemination of the knowledge on bio-cultural conservation practices so as to promote their effective participation in conservation practices and networking with concerned CSOs for public policy debates. The youths studying in grade 9 to 12 in four piloting sites (representing three eco-regions of the country) and all the community members in the respective piloting sites will be direct beneficiaries of the proposed project. Similar ly, all the members of ICCA Network Nepal (an informal civil society network formed by 29 local forest and conservation communities-"Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas-ICCA") including related CSOs will also be benefited from the collaboration and pa rtnership for policy advocacy and lobby. Project is implemented by Ribdung-Jaleswori Education Foundation (REF), www.ref.org.np.

Cultural Heritage - A Driver of Climate Action for resilient World Heritage Cities & Towns in Asia and the Pacific
85%data completenessAs stated in the latest IPPC Report, extreme weather conditions are intensifying in cities and urban areas, with climate change causing adverse impacts on human health and livelihoods, with economically and socially marginalized urban residents the most at risk. This reflects a concerning trend in the Third Cycle of the Periodic Reporting for the Asia and the Pacific region which identifies that World Heritage properties and their communities are increasingly affected by the impacts of climate change. This has become one of the most significant threats to World Heritage properties in recent times by potentially impacting their Outstanding Universal Value, and their potential for economic and social development at the local level. In response, the project will strengthen the resilience of World Heritage Towns and Cities in the Asia-Pacific region against climate impacts by enhancing the role of cultural heritage in climate action. It will remove barriers and support World Heritage cities across three outcome areas providing, increased knowledge, enhanced engagement, and increased policy recognition on climate action. Project outputs include a regional survey of World Heritage Cities, multi-disciplinary research, convening a regional meeting, testing innovative climate solutions, piloting a climate action toolkit/guidance, and sharing policy lessons and good practices with policy makers.

KFIT Action Plans for University Networks and Mobility in Asia-Pacific
85%data completenessFollowing the devastating impacts of COVID-19, countries throughout Asia and the Pacific are transforming their higher education systems to enhance regional mobility and improve employability. There are growing challenges among Member States in the region to assess and fairly recognize international qualifications and new micro-credentials from short-term programs. To facilitate cross-border mobility, action plans must strengthen commitment and networks to support students and professionals throughout Asia and the Pacific. Based on the achievements of the project “Regional Quality Tools to Facilitate the Cross-border Mobility of Students” (2019-2023), UNESCO Bangkok proposes to develop joint action plans to facilitate mobility and cross-border recognition of qualifications for students and professionals in the Asia-Pacific region. As Secretariat of the Asia-Pacific Network of National Information Centres (APNNIC) under the Tokyo Convention, UNESCO Bangkok is a platform for evidence-based policy development and action planning to ensure fair and transparent recognition of qualifications and increased learner and professional mobility. The aim of this project is to develop national action plans to increase student and faulty mobility and facilitate the recognition of qualifications in Asia and the Pacific. Strong and inclusive university networks are key enablers for mobility, educational innovation, and regional integration in Asia-Pacific. Increasing regional mobility of young scholars and enhancing inter-university networks will multiply strategic collaborations and strengthen integration for sustainable growth. The outcomes, outputs and activities of the project are described in the Results Framework
