ICIMOD is an intergovernmental organization which through regional cooperation generates and shares knowledge to promote sustainble development in the region. The organization's member countries are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal and Pakistan. The ICIMOD's programs contribute to reduced poverty, reduced physical and social vulnerability and improvement of ecosystem services for men, women and children in the region. The Swedish contribution is given as overall program support in order to harmonize the support as far as possible for the effective implementation of the five-year plan. Program support includes support for regional programs, - innovation and integration as well as institutional functions. Planned strategic results are: - Dissemination of innovations and practices developed by ICIMOD and partners for adaptation to changes that result in positive results for men, women and children. E.g.: flood early warning systems and climate change adapted value chains. - Significant progress in the generation and use of relevant data, knowledge and analysis. E.g.: Measure, monitor and manage air pollution levels. - Significant progress in approaches and knowledge supporting gender equality and inclusive development. E.g.: Strengthen women's capacity and leadership roles in agriculture and local decision making bodies. - Significant progress in human and institutional capacity. E.g.: Strengthen the member countries' environmental management authorities. - Significantly affected policies through ICIMOD and partner organizations work. E.g.: contribute to improved environmental legislation in the region. - Strengthened regional cooperation related to sustainable development in mountain areas. E.g.: promote technical exchange between countries and joint management of transboundary natural resources. - Global awareness of the importance of mountain areas for improved and resilient living conditions and ecosystems. E.g.: influence at the global climate negotiations. The Swedish contribution will fund the completion of the current phase in 2017 and a broad program support for ICIMOD's five-year plan 2018-2022. Funding of the new five-year plan is planned with support from 8 donors where Sweden is included. In addition, smaller amounts will be provided from the eight member states. ICIMOD retains approximately 70% of the budget for regional programs and transmits about 30% to partner organizations. Sweden is a longstanding cooperation partner of ICIMOD, and Sweden has during the period 2012-2016 financed two of ICIMOD's initiatives, the climate change adaptation initiative HICAP and the Atmosphere initiative. ICIMOD performs annual audits of third party organizations that receive funds exceeding SEK 505,000. The environmental economics network SANDEE, which has for 15 years been supported with good results under Sweden's Strategy for Research Cooperation, will from 2017 be integrated into ICIMOD and take part of Sweden's new programme support to ICIMOD. SANDEE's results will continue to contribute to the Research Strategy. Sweden will also separately finance a Bilateral Associate Expert (BAE) position at ICIMOD, in the field of water and climate adaptation.

UNDP Strategic Collaboration Framework on Environment and Climate Change - UNDP Environment and Climate Framework
95%data completenessInsatsens övergripande mål är att bidra till UNDPs strategiska plan 2022-2025. Insatsen syftar specifikt till att stärka UNDPs organisatoriska kapacitet och konkreta resultat vad gäller miljö och klimat inom hela sin globala verksamhet. Viktiga utgångspunkter för Sidas stöd har varit att a) stärka länders kapacitet att genomföra sitt miljö- och klimatarbete b) motverka tematisk fragmentering av de olika miljöfrågorna och stärka sammanhållet miljö/klimatarbete på landnivå, och c) ge UNDP bättre förutsättningar att bli mindre projektdrivet och minska behovet/drivkraften att jaga medel från GCF, GEF (ibland i konkurrens med samarbetsländer). Mer specifikt ska insatsen bidra till att: 1. Minska fattigdom i alla dess former och dimensioner 2. Accelerera en strukturell transformation för hållbar utveckling 3. Stärka UNDP:s kapacitet och organisatoriska effektivitet. Insatsen har två delar en institutionell och en tematisk. Programmet har ett adaptivt arbetssätt för att anpassa verksamheten till förändrade förutsättningar och behov. Nya tematiska arbetsområden har därför tillkommit under programmets genomförande. Den institutionella delen har följande delkomponenter: - Intern kapacitetsutveckling - Integrerad programutveckling - Regelverk för sociala och miljömässiga aspekter i verksamheten - Jämställdhetsintegrering - Kommunikation och lärande - Partnerskap Den tematiska delen hade ursprungligen följande delkomponenter: A. Biologisk mångfald B. Vatten (sötvatten och marint) C. Klimat och energi D. Livsmedelssystem Två nya tematiska områden tillkom år 2023: E. Klimatsäkerhet F. Plast och Avfall Aktiviteter under respektive delkomponent är förvisso globala men detta program har ett särskilt fokus på nio pilotländer (Colombia, Uganda, Etiopien, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Kambodja, Nepal, Fiji, Haiti). För insatsen finns ett resultatramverk med indikatorer på output nivå. Nya indikatorer med mål på output nivå för de två nya delkomponenterna (E och F) har lagts till i det uppdaterade resultatramverket för 2023.

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.

Family-centred Intervention in Nepal: Epidemiology and participation for children with Developmental Delays and Disabilities (FINE-DDD)
75%data completenessPurpose and aims: To determine the prevalence of developmental delays and disabilities (DDD) for children in Nepal who had complications around the time of birth, and to develop and evaluate an intervention for children with DDD in regard to feasibility and effect on participation for children and quality of life for caregivers. Study design & methods: Part 1: A prospective cohort study of two cohorts of children who received (n 381) and did not receive (n 381) newborn interventions due to complications at birth at a tertiary hospital in Nepal, Children in both cohorts will be followed up at 3-5 years of age to screen for DDD, children identified with DDD will be assessed by a specialized team for diagnosis.Part 2: A cluster randomized trial with one intervention (n 51) and one control arm (n 51). Including the following dimensions:Monthly peer-support group workshopsIndividual goal-directed sessionsFamily support daysCommunity workshopsSignificance: This study will provide information on long-term impact of development for children that had complications around the time of birth and received basic interventions for newborn survival. Furthermore this study will evaluate an intervention model for children with DDD to increase child participation and caregiver quality of life. Results will inform the need for habilitation services and contribute to intervention program development, and may be transferable across Nepal and to other low-income settings.

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.
