Nepal: School on Migration Studies (SMS)
100%data completenessIn recent years, migrants have made a significant contribution to the socio-economic landscape of Nepal. However, as migration and sustainable development is an issue which has not yet been addressed in the curricula of Nepali universities, there exists a gap in academic knowledge and a small number of policymakers with expertise on the matter. As a result, stakeholders such as academicians, policymakers and practitioners have limited exposure on an overarching comprehensive and harmonized approach to migration for development. Migration governance thus remains to be mainstreamed in the policies of all three tiers (federal, provincial and local level) of government. In light of the above, the objective of this project is to support the Government of Nepal in addressing migration issues in a comprehensive manner for the benefit of sustainable development through the acquisition of migration knowledge.The project will seek to do so by engaging the government, civil society actors and members of academia to work collaboratively in the field of migration and improve their understanding on the complexity of migration impacts in Nepal. To that end, the project will: establish and hold two editions of the School on Migration Studies (SMS), which will provide an interactive course for the benefit of the aforementioned stakeholders to strengthen their knowledge on migration and sustainable development, addressing various thematic areas on migration; provide grants for students and young researchers to produce novel and local migration research; and produce recommendations to identify and address knowledge gaps, and assess training needs in the field of migration research.

Enhancing Migration Governance in Nepal: A Collaborative Approach for Strengthening Coordination Mechanism and Knowledge Management (ENGIN)
100%data completenessBuilding upon the partnership between Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and IOM globally, this project aims to strengthen Nepal's migration governance through enhanced coordination mechanisms, and the promotion of safe, orderly and regular migration practices. The project envisages collaborative efforts among the government, civil society actors, private sector and academia, fostering a deepened understanding of migration impacts and the integration of safe migration practices across sectors. The project will support the government with the development of a comprehensive GCM National Implementation Strateguc Framework. This will involve the establishment of a multistakeholder coordination mechanism and knowledge sharing and management through Migration School. Policy briefs and dialogues on migration and development will be important outputs. The project prioritizes gender mainstreaming, ensuring a gender-responsive approach in capacity-building, policy dialogues, and ethical recruitment practices. It also emphasizes inclusivity by considering the youth and addressing their challenges, promoting environmental sustainability through climate change adaptation, and ensuring benefits extend to those left behind. The emphasis on regular pathways promotes legal and safe migration, contributing to a transparent and secure framework. These cross-cutting considerations enhance the overall effectiveness, inclusivity, and sustainability of migration governance initiatives in Nepal.

Living with uncertainty in South Asia Mountains
75%data completenessThis application will build understanding of the uncertainties that poor rural households face in South Asian Mountains and how they respond to them. The collaboration aims to shift thinking away from a risk to an uncertainty framing of the hazards of mountain lives, paying attention to the time preference behavior of poor people and generate new research capacities, proposals and deliberative policy approaches to respond to this. Mountains are centers of social marginality and are deeply affected by climate change. Uncertainties cannot be given probabilities in contrast to risks and can be a threat or an opportunity. The challenge is to understand how households navigate hazards and the conditions that might allow them to build transformational resilience capacities. The collaboration with partners in Nepal, India and Bhutan will foster debate, learning and develop new methods of understanding of uncertainty and its sources in different mountain contexts. Key collaboration activities will include meetings in each country research site. These will involve joint field visits, analytical workshops for sharing new learning and planning research outputs, seminars with relevant partners and deliberative policy engagement activities with selected policy makers. Virtual writing workshops will support writing processes and new research proposals. During the two year collaboration we will visit each partner country site exploring the contextually specific nature of uncertainty.

Connecting climate goals with local realities of Nepal: Analyzing changing energy poverty and access patterns in the era of climate change
65%data completenessThe high magnitude earthquake in 2015 aggravated the situation of energy poverty and access in Nepal as around 30% of the infrastructure was damaged. The purpose of the project is to advance knowledge on the relationships between energy transition and energy access in the context of Nepal. Energy transition in Nepal runs along two parallel processes: a transition from low-access to high access to modern energy for meeting the demands of the population, and a transition from fossil-fuel based energy to renewable energy. However, little has been known about how these two processes relate to each other.By defining access as the ability to derive benefits from energy sources, we aim to identify the differentiated patterns of means, relations, and processes that enable/disable small businesses and households’ opportunities to have access, alleviate poverty and derive benefits from energy transition.Our core research questions are: How and to what extent is energy access achieved in the transition from fossil-fuel based energy to renewable energy? How is energy proverty and energy transition related? By providing qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the ramifications of energy access (SDG 7) for other areas of sustainable development, this study contributes to the need to harmonize global agreement of Sustainable Development Goals with local realities on the ground.

Building synergies between biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and rural prosperity through community forest governance
65%data completenessForest restoration is a key environmental policy objective of the present era. In the UN’s present “Decade of Restoration”, countries around the world have pledged to restore hundreds of millions of hectares of degraded forests — targeting rural areas of the global south where millions of rural and indigenous people live. While these efforts have potential to support a range of environmental priorities, it remains unclear to what extent large-scale restoration efforts are compatible with rural needs and other development objectives. Responding to growing calls for strengthening community rights and involvement, we ask: How, and under what conditions, can community forest governance lead to improvements in human well-being, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity from forest restoration? This mixed-methods project explores how national and state-level policy efforts in Nepal and India shape local influence in restoration planning, and we build a large dataset to test how different local governance conditions impact livelihoods, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity. In so doing, our work provides key advances to (a) better incorporate multi-scalar power and politics in theories of environmental governance, (b) generate new evidence of the relationship between carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and rural well-being, and (c) support policy innovations to advance toward a more just and sustainable global future.

Wetlands as nature-based solution in the Global South: Implications of gendered traditional ecological knowledge for water-related sustainable
65%data completenessThis research is about wetlands as nature-based solution (NBS) in the Global South. It aims to explore the content of gendered traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) around wetlands and also identify forms, pathways and processes through which this gendered TEK can be utilized for policy and action towards restoration, conservation and management of wetlands. The research is important because local communities in several low income countries depend on and live in close association with wetlands and consequently possess rich relevant TEK. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands recognizes the importance of TEK in wetland protection, but there remains a wide gap between policy and practice, these remaining undocumented and unutilized. Wetlands are an important NBS that support water sustainability through multiple pathways and given a worsening context of degraded and disappearing wetlands, and water quality and quantity-related challenges in global South, water-related sustainability becomes the key to poverty reduction and sustainable development. The research will be carried out through a comparative case study analysis based in India where 3 case studies located in diverse geo-climatic and hydro-ecological settings will be explored through an empirical multi-disciplinary methodology combining ethnographic community-based research with participatory GIS and other tools. Finally, findings will be validated in neighboring low-income country Bangladesh through stakeholder workshops.

Linking Swedish, Nepalese and Indonesian capacities to inform the design of effective, efficient and equitable Social Network Interventions for h
75%data completenessThis proposal is situated at the interdisciplinary crossroads of health and development research, with specific focus on social network interventions for health and poverty reduction. Social network research is critically underutilized in many LMICs. As such, social networks remain poorly understood determinants of health and poverty outcomes and developing interventions remains a persisting challenge. The purpose of the SNI-LINKS Network is to link together expertise and infrastructures of Swedish, Nepalese, and Indonesian partners to strengthen their individual, organizational and inter-organizational research capacities and competencies in network research to inform effective, efficient and equitable social network interventions. Taking a dual perspective on tuberculosis and malnutrition – which represent major public health challenges in Nepal and Indonesia, SNI-LINKS aims to investigate the relationship between networks and precarity, i.e. healthcare and food insecurity, and to refine the processes through which network ties are activated in times of needs, i.e. facilitating pathways into treatment, utilizing food sharing networks. This will be explored through a series of seminars and workshops aided by formative research activities. Partners comprise of HERD International and the Ministry of Health and Population, Nepal; the Department of Public Health, Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia; and the Department of Epidemiology and Global Health, Umeå University, Sweden.

Practicing Food Sovereignty: Indigenous Peoples and Agroecological Relationships in the Eastern Himalayas
75%data completenessThis study concerns indigenous communities and agricultural practices in four countries of the Eastern Himalaya region; Nepal, Bhutan, C hittagong Hill Tracks of Bangladesh and the hills of Northeast India. The focus is on present practices relating “food sovereignty”. While food sovereignty is a dynamic concept, it usually imply the pursuit of both environmental and livelihood goals. In a similar fashion, indigenous upland communities in the region are reviving and revaluing traditional agricultural practices to cope with climate change and contemporary environmental risks. The overall question addressed concerns indigenous livelihood practices and food security in upland areas. We approach this through three interrelated themes: (a) plants; (b) crop losses; and (c) food. Theoretically we bring food sovereignty studies in conversation with agrarian studies, political ecology and multispecies studies. The project also draws on recent work within indigenous peoples’ studies that looks at indigenous sovereignty not only as a matter of political self-determination, but also as mode of living differently on the land. Here plants, agricultural practices and food figure prominently as a domain to build sovereignty from within. Regional partners are: (a) North Eastern Social Research Centre (NESRC ) in Guwahati Northeast India; (b) The Royal Thimphu College in Bhutan; (c) Social Sciences Baha in Kathmandu Nepal, and (d) The Asian University for Women in C hittagong, Bangladesh.

Waging war to save the peace parks: A study of militarization of wildlife management
65%data completenessRecent decades have witnessed an increasing militarization of wildlife and biodiversity conservation. This trend has been most profound in African countries, where state agencies have responded to heavily armed poachers by providing rangers with more sophisticated and lethal weapons as well as more rigorous military training. The consequences of applying militarized forms of conservation measures have, however, rarely been evaluated in empirical research. The overall objective of this project is to investigate how military style wildlife management affect the effectiveness and legitimacy of conservation efforts in southern Africa. It focuses on the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA) – a collaboration that includes five countries that show great variation in terms of the extent to which their conservation policies rely on military approaches – and will conduct in-depth interviews with managers and park rangers as well as implement a large-scale survey questionnaire among local communities and resource users. This unique data, focusing on questions related to perceptions about enforcement frameworks and willingness to comply among local communities, has the potential to generate findings of both theoretical and real-world importance. The project builds on the project participants’ experience of pilot-studies in the KAZA area and a memorandum of understanding with the park authorities is already established.

Divine Ganges, Profane Development: Sacred Geographies and the Governing of Pollution
75%data completenessThe project studies the tension between notions of the Ganges that stem from religious and secular conceptions of it. These are often incompatible and result in dissonant ideas regarding how to manage and respond to its state of pollution, degradation and capriciousness. The Ganges is a principal constituent of the sacred geography of South Asia, particularly to Hindus, at the same time as millions of people depend on it for daily sustenance. This duality informs how India and Bangladesh act to govern the river and seek to mobilise sustainable water management, yet it also affects how individuals and communities relate to the river’s welfare and possible use. Contradicting views of the river are manifest in religious and secular representations broadly and in concrete mismatches between state-level governance and lay beliefs. In order to examine state activities as well as the belief systems of individuals, the project consists of two components. The first probes attempts in India and Bangladesh to make the Ganges integral to development efforts and nation building, and the extent to which these relate to the basic tension. The second stresses how cultural and religious assumptions regarding the Ganges, in the form of lay beliefs, interact with environmental concerns ascribed to it. The objective is to grasp the ways in which discordant ideas about the river are reflected in state activities and in lay beliefs, and where we find overlaps and inconsistencies between these.

Developing new tools for breeding blast resistant wheat
75%data completenessIn February 2016, the first observation ever of wheat blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae pathotype Triticum (MoT) beyond South America was recorded in Bangladesh. The extent of the wheat blast outbreak in Bangladesh was considerable and rapid, with 15,000 hectares affected between February to March 2016, and is estimated to have affected at least 45,000 farmers, the majority of whom are resource-poor smallholders. Most importantly this first introduction of a highly virulent form of MoT, in heavily populated South Asia represents a serious threat not only for Bangladesh, but also for regional food security in S. Asia, home to 300 million undernourished people and whose inhabitants consume over 100 million tons of wheat each year. The speed by which MoT however spread across Bangladesh in 2016 was alarming, indicating that if blast were to further spread in South Asia, inaction to mitigate the disease could lead adversely affect the food and income security of over a billion people. There is thus an urgent need to characterize these isolates to identify their morphology, virulence, fungicide resistance and genome evolution at various geographical locations. This work which includes disease surveillance, marker development and participatory trials would help researchers and breeders to identify solutions for the sustainable wheat production in the region in presence of this new highly virulent pathogen. This will be critical to avoid a major potential disaster.

Nepal: Promoting A Human Security and Gender Equality-Based Approach to Migration and Adaptation to Climate Change
100%data completenessNepal witnesses high human mobility in the form of both voluntary and forced migration. The country has extremely high levels of climate risk. Climate change and human mobility is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that cuts across different policy areas, including but not limited to migration, development, climate change and environment, humanitarian assistance and security. The Government of Nepal is keen to address the issue in an integrated and coherent manner to provide solutions for people to move, people on the move and people to stay. The objective of the project is to support the Government of Nepal’s efforts to respond to challenges along the MECC nexus in a human security-centred and gender responsive manner. The project aims to further strengthen the knowledge base to inform government stakeholders and influence policies related to climate change, disasters, gender, and migration. Along with this, the project will support local governments to draft plans, adopting a human security approach, for gender responsive safe, orderly and regular migration and adaptation to climate change. By engaging with different spheres of government and engaging leading civil society organisations (CSOs) and communities, the project will promote participatory, joint approaches to analyse and address drivers that compel people to move and support the Government in taking climate actions and enhancing adaptive capacities of the population by making migration a choice.

Forest and agrarian transition, smallholder practices and the new forms of land governance: Building research collaboration among Brazil, Nepal a
75%data completenessQuestions of governance and access to resources have become even more important with new and emerging forms of land control in the global South. These have implications for smallholder livelihoods and forest futures. The analytical approaches used to deal with the processes of deforestation and agricultural changes, i.e. forest and agrarian transition models, are ill equipped to explain the complex interaction of forest conservation initiatives and local smallholding practices. There is a need to better understand the way new forms of land governance, such as REDD+, unfold locally and what effects they have on smallholders’ lifeworlds. An interdisciplinary team of researchers from SLU (Sweden), Nepal, and Brazil are working on these issues through country specific cases and cross-country comparisons. This project intends to strengthen the ongoing collaboration and also draw in Peruvian colleagues to deepen the comparative analysis. The collaboration among the researchers is expected to provide a solid ground for contextually informed relational analysis, producing high quality scientific outputs and cutting edge questions for future research. The proposed activities include analytical workshops, joint field work, stakeholder workshops and seminars in three countries, and will provide more space for networking and collaboration. We also plan to develop further research applications and lay groundwork for writing a book.

Modernizing Nepal’s Groundwater Resources
75%data completenessGroundwater in Nepal maintains flows in streams essential for human needs, food production, ecological health, and hydropower production. Baseline data needed to characterize current groundwater conditions are largely unavailable making it impossible to assess the potential for sustainable groundwater development in Nepal. This exposes rural livelihoods to risk under climatic changes. The overall objective of this project is to secure sustainable use and management of groundwater in Nepal through a modernization of monitoring. With a focus on the Tarai and Pahar regions of Nepal, the project will run a series of three workshop activities with distinct follow up plans over three years (1) to catalog existing groundwater data for integration within an online groundwater information system, (2) to train on innovative mobile monitoring technologies utilizing citizen science methods (employment of rural women and youth) for the collection of new hydrogeological information, and (3) to develop synergies among Nepali Ministries and Departments demonstrating the power of data sharing and to enable development of joint applicant(s) for scaling up pilot studies. This project seeks to connect the people of Nepal to their groundwater resources. By leveraging novel technologies and geospatial databases, we hope to unlock the power of data as a central component in Nepal's plan for future climate-resilient and sustainable development.

Scaling up prevention of perinatal deaths. Implementation research on evidence-based participatory interventions across diverse health systems
75%data completenessThe time before and after birth, the perinatal period, is the time of an annual 300,000 maternal deaths, 3 million stillbirths and 3 million newborn deaths. There is robust evidence that use of facilitated participatory groups is an effective social innovation to prevent a large proportion of these deaths to happen. No large scale-up of this promising innovation has so far taken place. The aim of this project is to adapt, implement, evaluate and communicate a contextually appropriate social innovation, the PeriScope model, for perinatal health in Vietnam and Nepal representing low - high maternal and neonatal mortality. The project targets primary and secondary health system levels and engage stakeholder groups with more than 5,400 key members, health care staff and managers to identify and act on local challenges, quality of care issues and health system obstacles. The project will be based on problem-solving cycles and study its effect on 388,000 births, to our knowledge the largest implementation study in this field. The PeriScope will make health systems more responsive and sustainable, reduce barriers currently preventing the uptake of safe, efficient and equitable perinatal health services. This project will allow for researcher with complimentary skills to embark on previous achievements and develop a strong collaboration. Lessons from this scale-up can be transferred to other settings, enabled by the active participation of the WHO, the UNICEF, and the World Bank.
