Development projects in Nepal

This program aims to help poor households to improve their education and increase their income and assets by working through cooperatives, thereby enhancing their quality of life. The Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA) and its international partners are committed to developing gender-equitable opportunities and empowering poor women and men through the development of sustainable member-owned institutions that serve as a conduit for communities to develop themselves. The program is built on three principles: (1) ensuring holistic development by promoting sustainable livelihoods, (2) concentrating on cooperatives as key transformative structures for development, and (3) developing gender-equitable opportunities and empowerment within communities as a strategy for poverty reduction. CIDA has provided $437,920 in additional support to this program for activities in Africa.

The project "Enhancing Access to Justice for Women in Asia and the Pacific. Bridging the gap between formal and informal systems through women's empowerment" is a five-year program with an overarching goal to enhance access to justice for women in both formal and informal justice systems. he project is built on previous experiences The objective of the project is to build on previous global and regional work on Access to Justice for women e.g. The work and experience made by ICJ under the European funded ASEAN program. During the project ICJ consolidated network of lawyers working on Human rights cases in the region and established relationships with courts across the region. ICJ initiated regional judicial dialogues with senior judges in South East Asia. One important outcome was the development and adoption, in 2016, of the Bangkok General Guidance on Applying a Gender Perspective for judges. ICJ has also experiences from intervening in emblematic cases regarding the interpretation of and application of laws that expressively discriminate against women and LGBT people. The project also builds on the experiences made in the regional project UN Women CEDAW South Est Asia regional program 2011-2016 focusing on knowledge generation and exchange, stock taking and priority setting for advancing the implementation of CEDAW in the region. The overall goal was reduced discrimination against women in South-East Asia and enhanced South-East Asia regional processes that facilitate CEDAW implementation. In addition, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for human rights (OHCHR) regional office has the global mandate for human rights and supports justice processes that are consistent with international law and good practices and brings a comparative advantage in supporting judicial reform efforts to protect human rights. OHCHR has expertise and experiences to address issues related to womens access to justice. The UN Women project included important research in several countries with plural legal systems and concluded that there are substantial gaps in women's access to justice in countries with plural legal systems. In addition, negative gender stereotyping and discriminatory attitudes among judges, prosecutors and police were pervasive. Discriminatory legislation is another serious obstacle for Women's access to justice. The project has a geographical focus on 6 countries in Asia and Pacific: Indonesia, Philippines and Timor Leste, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pacific Island Countries. Against this background the A2J project has he project has three specific outputs: 1.) Advocacy is conducted to promote the adoption of domestic laws and court decisions in the target countries consistent with international human rights law and standards, including CEDAW 2.) Gender discriminatory attitudes and stereotyped behaviours towards women are acknowledged and addressed by formal and informal justice providers in the target countries. 3.) Grassroots women's organizations and community-based women's organizations are empowered and well positioned to document, monitor, liase and facilitate interaction with formal and informal justice providers. The programme results are based on the theory of change that if there is: i. A legal enabling environment for women to access gender-responsive justice is created by advocating for laws and court decisions that are consistent with international human rights law and standards, including the CEDAW; ii. Plural justice systems are gender-responsive because gaps between formal and informal settings are bridged through increased understanding and awareness of justice system providers of womens rights; iii. Grassroots womens organizations and community-based womens organizations are empowered and well positioned to document and facilitate interactions between and with formal and informal justice providers, and their resilience is enhanced to build a just and sustainable future; Then, womens access to justice will be enhanced in the Asia Pacific region.

International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) is a leading actor in the area of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), with a presence in 120 countries as it works through local actors to provide sexual and reproductive health services including comprehensive sexuality education, comprehensive abortion care and provides access to a range of modern contraceptives, conducts advocacy work to improve policy and legal frameworks at the national and global levels. IPPF is a UK charity federation registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The federation includes 6 regional offices, 31 collaborative partners and 118 Member Associations within 149 countries. IPPF is a trusted and long term partner to Sida with support from the Strategy for Sweden’s global development cooperation in sustainable social development 2018–2023. Sida is one of IPPF's largest core funding donors, funding that is crucial to ensure sustained and predictable operations as well as flexibility to adapt to emerging and unexpected needs. It is Sida's assessment that the partnership over the years between Sida and IPPF is characterised by mutual reliance and trust. Sida finds that the value add generated through the partnership is IPPF's uncomparable outreach in the area of SRHR also strengthened by IPPF being a strong actor both in terms of service delivery and SRHR-advocacy. In many countries where IPPF operates, the state is a key direct target group for IPPF's advocacy work. Further, MAs are often the leading SRHR­ CSO with the recognised legitimacy to convene CSOs, government and other stakeholders. As a result, MAs increasingly influence national funding mechanisms through involvement in committees and have established good relationships with elected representatives through national parliamentary groups. In their new strategy Come Together, IPPF gives dedicated attention to reaching those furthest left behind with SRHR services and information, and making sure that their voices and needs are reflected in advocacy. This includes groups such as LGBTQI+, persons with disabilities, indigenous populations, among others. IPPF is also uniquely placed to work with disaster risk reduction. Their presence across most countries in the world today makes them a first responder when crises hits, but also an important actor in building resilience and ensuring preparedness.

Fish consumption is on the rise in Nepal, especially in urban areas. Presently, with 1.5 kg per person per year, it is still the lowest in South Asia. This is mostly, because seventy percent of the fish available on the market is Indian import of dubious quality. To fulfil the increasing demand for fresh fish, fish farming is on the rise in the lower parts of Nepal (Terai). Some 25,000 farmers have fish ponds, totalling 8,000 ha. The yields are well below South Asia average.The local partner, Himalayan Aqua Agritech Pvt., Ltd started a fingerling ("baby fish") production farm in 2005. She noticed that her customers, the fish farmers, had low yields. This was mostly due too poor quality fish food. Almost all fish food was solid and either disintegrated in the water or sunk to the bottom of the fish pond, unavailable to the fish.The owner was introduced to the applicant, Bokkers Holding B.V., in 2007 and together they looked into the possibilities to produce and sell proper fish food. In 2012, the local partner purchased a small extruder. The feed produced was tested at HAAP and at some customers' fish farms.After this turned out to be successful, they decided to set up a joint venture, Him Dana, to produce fish feed and provide extension services to fish farmers. Taken advantage from the fact that the local partner is a respected female entrepreneur, they want to encourage female farmers to set up fish farms, using Him Dana's fingerlings and fish feed.As fish farming in Nepal is commercially risky business, it is impossible to receive a full loan for investments, especially for setting up the extension services and a trial fish pond.

The goal of the Canadian College Partnership Program is to increase the capacity of educational and training organizations in developing countries to address their respective country's sustainable development priorities. The program provides funding on a cost-shared basis for projects developed by Canadian community colleges, vocational colleges, and similar institutions. The projects funded aim to build the capacities of educational and training institutions in developing countries to address the development needs of the communities they serve. The program supports two categories of projects: (1) major development and institutional strengthening projects that often involve policy development, planning, and the management of technical and vocational training systems and (2) smaller, more narrowly defined partnership projects that focus on institutional capacity building and poverty reduction in specific communities.

Poultry consumption is on the rise in Nepal, although still low compared to neighbouring countries. An estimated 230 million chickens are raised in backyards every year. Seventy percent of the total stock dies in the rainy season due to avian flu (AF) and Newcastle disease (ND). The major poultry farms (producing another 70 million chickens) are able to vaccinate their stock. Because Newcastle vaccines are thermos-unstable, they cannot be used in remote areas where the majority of Nepal's rural population lives. Paid for by the Australian Government, a thermo stable ND vaccine was developed in Australia. This vaccine survives thirty days of tropical temperatures and is affordable for smallholders.The local partner, Intrepid Nepal Pvt. Ltd is a company of thirty highly qualified employees that focuses on Molecular Diagnostics Platforms. Their area of work is detection of pathogens, human and animal. One of their activities is epidemical research. In this way, they got a clear picture of the ND problem and decided to produce this thermos-stable vaccine using the Australian seeds, that are non-commercially available. In the poultry production chain, such a vaccine is the missing link. As this is to be the first commercial production of a vaccine from this seed, the Australian government is eager to facilitate this by providing expertise and seeds free of costs. USAID and an NGO have already pledged to buy thermos-stable vaccine for seven million chickens and resell them to smallholders. The business includes diagnosing whether it makes sense to vaccinate in a certain area, determining the ND strain rampant and the production of the vaccine itself. In order to get sufficient starting capital, they were introduced to the applicant by Dutch businessmen active in Nepal.The applicant, Aleven B.V., is an asset manager that invests on behalf of his Dutch clients in food and health related companies in Nepal, Georgia and the Philippines. The other project partner, One to Watch B.V., is a developer of Nepali companies active in food and health. The three partners will start a joint venture that enables Intrepid to start the production of vaccine on their premises.

Brick production in Kathmandu Valley is a highly polluting activity. The local authorities have given the companies a five years period to stop their activities. This will result in a major shortage of building materials. Companies are looking for alternatives. This project concerns the establishment a fifty-fifty joint venture manufacturing plant for prefabricated construction panels. It brings an alternative for traditional construction materials and methods and allows for the development of low-cost housing projects. The plant will be located at Kurintar, which is approximately 50 km west of Kathmandu.The applicant is from Bahrain where he (among others) operates a similar panel factory. He will provide the required technological and technical input and skills for the project. The Nepalese joint venture partner who runs (among others) a brick factory, is almost 20 years active on the construction market. This local partner will be responsible for developing the local market, the sourcing of raw materials, production planning, Quality Assurance and Human Resources management.Most of the sales will be B2B done through Nepalese contractors.The market for prefabricated construction materials is still in its infancy in Nepal. The factory will be the first of its kind in Nepal and will produce prefabricated lightweight concrete/polystyrene building panels. Building with prefab panels has advantages compared to traditional brick houses, both for the environment and for the quality of the buildings. Currently, this type of panels are being imported from China and India.Besides supplying the panels, the joint venture will develop low-cost housing solutions, using the same construction materials. Also, consulting services will be provided in order to boost the development of the market for prefab construction.Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)The joint venture will develop a CSR policy, to be implemented in the daily operation. It shall deal with Employment standards; Workplace health and safety; Gender policy; Non-discrimination policy; Child labour; Employee participation; Chain responsibility; Measures to prevent corruption; Environmental management. This policy will be presented with the achievement of the first project result.At the start of the project, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will be done. Also, the joint venture will obtain ISO 9001:2000 certification which specifies requirements for a quality management system. (This standard has been revised by ISO 9001:2008, which certificate will be included as MoV in the fourth project result.)Impact• Employment and working conditionsThe 51 full-time employees will have fixed labour contracts, according to the Labour Act of the Nepal Government (Nepal Labour Association Act, 2025). The company will comply with all ILO regulations. All wages will be well above the minimum and all will be customary living wages. Integral part of good working conditions will be working days of 8 hours, during 5.5 days per week, good salaries, education and professional training. The employees shall benefit from: transportation service; meals to the employees on working days; paid sick leaves; a health assurance programme; a retirement plan; a financial contribution for courses/studies.• Innovation / Transfer of knowledgeCurrently, these products need to be imported into the country (from China or India) and local production does not exist.• Chain effectsImpact on local suppliersThe company will involve at least 35 local suppliers for inputs to the plant. They are expected to provide the company with more than 35% of all supplies yearly when the project will be completed. Seminars and conferences will be organised, that are also open to suppliers. The project's demo site will be open for guided tours for knowledge dissemination.Impact on local customers or consumersConsumers/end users will benefit from significant energy savings (through enhanced thermal mass properties); enhanced living comfort; lower prices compared to traditional houses; fast construction completion; a sustainable product with a 100+ year building life span; enhanced security (resistant to earthquakes, wind, fire and water); mould resistance (because of the use of non-organic material). The product does not emits gases or harmful fumes.• Impact on the sectorThe project may boost modernisation of the Nepalese construction sector, which will lead to opportunities for others to replicate this project or to introduce other innovations in construction to Nepal. It could lead to a production potential for supplementary products. It is the aim and interest of the project partners to share knowledge, which should contribute to a fast market introduction and penetration of this technology in Nepal.• EnvironmentIt is an important motive to implement this project, as an environment friendly alternative for traditional construction materials like bricks: the production process of prefab panels is much less damaging to the environment: it is thought to reduce the usage of fertile soil and ground water dramatically.• Position of womenDue to the nature of the basic-level work (in a heavy duty production environment), most women to be hired will work on medium- and high-level. It is expected that 35% of the employees will be women.• Impact on waterWater consumption in prefab panel production is only 10% of that of brick production. In that way, when the project will be successful and prefab panels will replace bricks, the project contributes to the preservation of the natural ground water level.

This project aims to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity where people do not have access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food. This project is one of a number of Canada's contributions to the United Nations World Food Programme’s (WFP) school feeding program. Over the past four decades, WFP has become the world's foremost provider of school meals to poor children. In addition to providing free midday meals, WFP provides students with take-home rations for the family, which encourages parents to send their boys and girls to class. School feeding initiatives target the most food-insecure areas of countries with low school enrolment, irregular school attendance, and high primary school drop-out rates. Canada's support to WFP's school feeding program is used to purchase, deliver and distribute nutritious food primarily to school children, particularly girls, as a means of increasing enrolment and attendance rates, decreasing drop-out rates, as well as improving children's concentration, learning and academic performance.

Det övergripande målet har fyra delmål, i ansökan kallade "outcomes" eller "programme outcomes". Alla fyra är centrala komponenter inom CRP (Child Rights Programming) och kopplar tydligt till CSO-strategin: Delmål 1) Civilsamhällets kapacitet: "Civil Society Organisations are well functioning and have increased their independence, sustainability and competency as child rights actors in a changing context". CSO:ers verksamhet ska ha bättre kvalitet och effektivitet och som barnrättsaktörer ska de ha mer röst och inflytande i deras egen rätt. Delmål 2) Barns handlingskraft:"Children express their views and organise themselves around issues of their concern". Barn ska ha bättre förståelse för sina rättigheter och förmåga att påverka. Barn har utrymme att utkräva ansvar och påverka beslutsfattande. Delmål 3) Barns rättigheter: "CSOs advocate and hold states to account for the fulfilment of childrens rights and equitable access to quality services". CSO:er ska ha stärkt kapacitet att övervaka och rapportera, och utkräver barns rättigheter av skyldighetsbärare.

Delmål 4) "Civic space": "CSOs have opportunities for civil society influence, and Save the Children act to uphold and expand civic space". Save the Children och partnerorganisationerna har stärkt sin kapacitet att bedöma förändringar i "civic space" och anpassa sig till dessa, samt agerar mot förtryckande CSO-lagar och -regler. CSO:er har bättre tillgång till policydialoger där de kan påverka beslutsfattande. De kan också bättre hantera säkerhetsrisker och hot från stater och icke-statliga aktörer. Genom att Rädda Barnen frångår fördefinierade tematiska resultat kan programmen bestå av en bredd av tematiska områden inom stärkt civilsamhälle och barns rättigheter. Till varje delmål finns tre eller fyra förväntade resultat, i ansökan kallade "global results". Som beskrivits i avsnittet "Perspektiv och utvecklingseffektivitet" har insatsen en övergripande ambition för vart och ett av de fem perspektiven. Varje delmål har "cross-cutting results" för respektive perspektiv. Dessa ska preciseras i land- och regionprogammens resultatramverk, inklusive indikatorer.

Det övergripande målet har fyra delmål, i ansökan kallade "outcomes" eller "programme outcomes". Alla fyra är centrala komponenter inom CRP (Child Rights Programming) och kopplar tydligt till CSO-strategin: Delmål 1) Civilsamhällets kapacitet: "Civil Society Organisations are well functioning and have increased their independence, sustainability and competency as child rights actors in a changing context". CSO:ers verksamhet ska ha bättre kvalitet och effektivitet och som barnrättsaktörer ska de ha mer röst och inflytande i deras egen rätt. Delmål 2) Barns handlingskraft:"Children express their views and organise themselves around issues of their concern". Barn ska ha bättre förståelse för sina rättigheter och förmåga att påverka. Barn har utrymme att utkräva ansvar och påverka beslutsfattande.
