Development projects in Nepal

The project will enable targeted groups to increase their economic security through diversified livelihood strategies including introducing better climate-smart agricultural practices. There is a strong focus on local ownership. The project will support the building of local expertise but will also further develop the capacity of Nepal Red Cross staff and volunteers who will implement the project and then provide longer-term support to maintain the project outcomes. The Irish Red Cross expects that the initiatives supported by the project will prepare individuals and communities to be more resilient to the risks they face, with a range of practices that will enable them to anticipate, adapt and respond to situations.

The aim of the project is to strengthen legal access for Dalits (ethnic group that belongs to the “untouchables”) who are victims of caste-based discrimination. To this end, an app is to be developed that will allow cases to be documented and registered. This data can then be used in both political and legal work with law enforcement agencies. At the same time, Dalit human rights defenders are to be trained (on how to use the app, but also on constitutional and statutory rights and how to cooperate with local law enforcement authorities). In a second step, cases should then be documented with the help of the app.

The purpose of the project is to provide access to clean drinking water or toilets to the 216 households that previously did not have such access. This will provide basic sanitation for the residents of the community, which was previously non-existent. In addition, the awareness of the residents should be raised for the importance of hygiene, especially the regular washing of hands. As concrete measures, 30 hand pipes (connections for clean drinking water) and 30 latrines are to be installed in the community, each of which can be used jointly by seven to eight households. A fund will be set up for the maintenance of the facilities, into which all users will pay a small amount. In addition, to promote hygiene awareness, children's clubs will be established in the affected community to educate children on the use of soap and the importance of hand washing. Hygiene kits containing basic necessities such as soap and toilet brushes will be distributed in public places such as schools and administrative offices.
