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.

Context Nearly 1 bn people live in mountain landscapes within developing countries. Living with the impacts of multiple hazards in mountainous regions, such as monsoon rainfall, earthquakes and landsliding, is for many a day-to-day reality. Both the short- and long-term impacts of hazards are often exaggerated by their concurrent or sequential timing, and by the socio-political context in which they occur. This context results from fragmented government, rapid population change, and the very localized impacts of global (geo)political interests. As a result, hazards have recurring and disproportionate impacts on some of the most vulnerable members of society. While much research has been conducted on both the socio-political context and the individual hazards and risks that people face, this work is rarely used for disaster risk management. Aims & objectives To tackle this, we build on our existing long-standing collaborations with the aim of examining how best to develop and use new interdisciplinary science to help inform better decision making and reduce the impacts of multi-hazards in mountain countries. We focus on Nepal, which has many similarities to other lower-income countries that endure complex multi-hazards resulting from earthquakes and monsoon rainfall as well as emerging systemic risks. Nepal is also undergoing complex social, political and economic transformation associated with a change to a federal system of government and changing geopolitical pressures, all within a hazardous yet densely populated landscape. The objectives of our research are each designed to make a significant difference to the ways in which residents, government, and the international community take decisions to manage multi-hazards and systemic risks. They include: (1) Thinking critically about our current understanding of the social, political, economic and environmental context within which disasters occur in Nepal, and the data that we use to assess that context; (2) Establishing a new approach to national-scale strategic-planning for complex multi-hazard events, which includes the consequences of linked earthquakes, monsoons and landslides; (3) Developing interdisciplinary science to anticipate, plan for, and communicate the range of hazards that occur during the monsoon; and (4) Finding the best ways to utilise local knowledge and interdisciplinary science to inform how to prepare for and respond to multi-hazard disasters. Potential applications and benefit To achieve our objectives, we bring together a team of Nepali and international researchers from a range of disciplines, including geoscience, social science and the humanities, who have track records in various facets of this issue. Together, we aim to: (1) develop new fundamental data and evidence to underpin decision-making, (2) establish pathways for getting the best possible information to those who need it, in a format and timeframe that are useful and usable, (3) think critically about how multi-hazards and risks can be effectively managed, and (4) nurture an environment that supports the young researchers and practitioners who will be the future of disaster risk management in Nepal. We ground our proposal within the context of our long-term community-based work with rural residents in Nepal, and reflect upon their articulations of the need to make better decisions to reduce the risks that they face. We also build upon our work on managing risks with the Government of Nepal and the United Nations, who coordinate disaster planning in the country. The Government, UN, and major development and humanitarian organisations have been involved from the outset in developing this proposal to ensure an agile, joined-up, evidence-based approach to multi-hazard and risk management.

Sexual exploitation of children (SEC) is a grave violation of children’s rights and affects millions of children and youth annually, regardless of gender. No region, country or child is immune, though girls, boys and children with other gender identities face differing levels of risk to different manifestations of SEC depending on their intersectional vulnerability factors. It impacts heavily and long lastingly on their physical, emotional and mental well-being. It deprives children and youth of establishing healthy (sexual) relationships and from developing to the best of their potential. The SUFASEC programme is designed to combat SEC and will work in 12 countries in Latin America and South and South East Asia: Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, Philippines and Thailand.

Children and youth, both victims and at risk of CSEC, are the main actors in this intervention. We define children as girls and boys up to 18 years old and youth as adolescent girls and boys aged 18 to 24 years old. We will mostly work with them through children and youth groups. We will also work with government officials at local and national level, representing various Ministries responsible for the effective implementation of the national child protection system. We will also work with law enforcement agency officers and civil society organisations. Civil society organisations will include those providing services to CSEC victims and those at risk, organisations supporting CSEC prevention work and those working with youth as advocates.

In the BBB Programme the overall goal is to ensure that children and youth are better protected when at risk or victim of sexual exploitation in the times of Covid-19. This will be achieved through five (5) outcomes: Children (in particular victims and those at risk of SEC) are able to access specialised services that protect them, help them rehabilitate, reintegrate and reduce their vulnerability to SEC in the context of Covid-19. Children and youth are able to advocate for continued SEC prevention and response in the context of Covid-19. Parents, caregivers, and community leaders are strengthened to provide a protective shield around children against SEC, in the context of Covid-19. Actors in the Child Protection System are strengthened in multi-stakeholder settings to prevent and advocate for protection from SEC, in the context of Covid-19. Intergovernmental bodies at regional and international level, governments and the private sector prioritize SEC within the wider child protection agenda in building back better during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

STRENGTHENING ACCESS TO HOLISTIC, GENDER RESPONSIVE, AND ACCOUNTABLE JUSTICE IN NEPAL (SAHAJ) Problem Statement Deep-rooted social and gender norms that perpetrate unequal gendered power dynamics at inter-personal, family and community levels in Nepal hamper women and girls’ ability to challenge the widespread social acceptance of violence, and negatively influence their reporting and service-seeking behaviour. The lack of a conducive environment for service-seeking behaviours and poor knowledge of available security and justice services, coupled with constraints to the adequate and inclusive provision of such services, further exacerbate underreporting of GBV incidents in a context of mutual mistrust between communities and security and justice service providers (JSP). The project has been designed to provide learning and base of evidence on what works to change social norms around GBV in a politically and administratively evolving context such as the one Nepal currently offers, in its shift towards federalism. Operationally-relevant research underlies this project to capture learning and produce knowledge about what works to inform development actors and donors in three domains: 1) gender transformative social norms approach selection, 2) intervention design and integration, and 3) project delivery and adaptation. SAHAJ will test social norms change packages of interventions in multiple project localities and document what works to influence social norms change. Considering its limited implementation period, it is expected that the project won’t be able to gather comprehensive data on social norms change results, but will collect and analyse indications of progress towards social norms change.

ENGAGE addresses critical factors of marginalisation identified during participatory stakeholder consultations, including: socio-cultural norms that place a low priority on girls’ education; lack of awareness and support services for girls with disabilities or functional impairments; poorly equipped teachers/educators and educational institutions to support the needs of OOSM girls and girls with disabilities; and poor implementation of inclusive policies by local service providers and duty-bearers. Through a people-centred approach, ENGAGE enlists and empowers a support system of 600 peer girls, 100 teachers/educators, 90 BE/d and ME/d student teachers, and 30 International Volunteer Experts (IVEs) to play key roles within the intervention and become champions for girls’ education.

The project’s Theory of Change (ToC) posits that the inequity in education and learning achievement gaps for Nepal’s most marginalised girls can be addressed by ensuring equitable access to quality learning and skills development across the education continuum. Inefficiencies in Nepal’s education system and social, cultural and geographical barriers to access have led to poor learning outcomes for marginalised girls, which inhibit individual and community agency and leadership and ultimately hinder socio-economic improvements in the country. Transitioning girls forward, VSO’s SfS (GEC-1), Teaching to Learn and various International Citizen Service (ICS) education projects in Nepal have proven that increasing the engagement of local actors is a powerful pathway to change in contexts where the realisation of inclusive national policies fall short. Increased engagement through ‘people to people’ interventions transforms education system stakeholders from bystanders into actors who are inspired to participate and contribute to safer and healthier schools, better engaged learners, more skilled teachers, improved school management, increased government capacity and better networks and knowledge sharing. People to people interventions in SfS include big sister-little sister mentoring, peer learning support, teacher and District Education Offices (DEO) staff accompaniment and coaching, and community engagement through a wide variety of volunteering roles and expertise sharing from implementing partners and resource partners. Through working in partnership with DEOs and existing government education systems from school and community level to the Ministry level, the project will contribute to changes to school, community, district and national inclusive education policies and practices. We will be working in partnership with Global Action Nepal (GAN) and Aasaman Nepal as implementing partners, and British Council Nepal and Mercy Corps as resource and collaboration and partners, respectively.
