The securing of biocultural rights of indigenous and local communities (IPLC) in Nepal's national policies and legislation and management plan of community forestry is one of the challenging issue for IPLCs in Nepal. Despite lots of community efforts, sti ll there are lacking explicit legal provisions on bio-cultural rights of IPLCs in the national policies and local level forest management plans. The aim of this project is to secure these rights in legislation as well as in policies and plans at different levels of government. The project has the following dimensions: Local level training in the western high hill region and in the border region with India(western Terai Arc landscape); A national level workshop on biocultural rights in Kathmandu; Documentati on and mapping of traditional knowledge, customary practices and bio-cultural practices as well as revision of forest management plan for securing bio-cultural rights will be conducted in two community forest groups (Myagdi and Bardiya districts); Based on the material collected in the project, a resource booklet on biocultural rights will be published in Nepali and a summary in English; The lessons learned from the project would be shared at the CBD COP15 conference in China in 2020. The main expected resu lt of the project is to incorporate the policy and legal provisions on bio-cultural rights in the national policy and legislation and to establish functional practices for the securing bio-cultural rights in the local communities as well as national level. The IPLCs will be able to claim their bio-cultural rights based on their community protocols or forest management plans. The main beneficiaries of the project are indigenous communities and community forest groups covered by the project. Other key stakeho lders in the project include other community-based organisations in project communities, other NGOs involved in workshops and training, and government officers at different levels. The aim is to have more than 140 people participating in trainings and work shops. In addition, about 230 households would benefit from biocultural surveys and updated forest management plans. Project is implemented by Federation of Community Forestry Users Nepal (FECOFUN) -järjestö, www.fecofun.org.np.

The program seeks to promote an enabling environment in Nepal for the effective delivery of public goods and services, especially at the local level. It will do this by strengthening national and local linkages in public financial management (PFM), mitigating fiduciary risks through greater transparency and public participation, modernizing procurement systems, and enhancing the effectiveness of oversight and accountability agencies. The program will support efforts by the Government of Nepal to reform budget, fiscal and fiduciary risk management at the subnational or local government level (district development committee [DDC], municipality and village development committee [VDC]), public procurement, and oversight and accountability institutions at the national level. The program is aligned with ADB's Nepal country partnership strategy for 2010-2012, which seeks to enhance transparency and accountability, strengthen local governance, and increase the effectiveness of service delivery.

This project enhances the cooperation of the Confederations of Nepal, so that they can formulate joint agenda for the national labour market discussions and development. This way the decent work principles and agenda will prevail.Nepali political situation is providing problems but also opportunities for the trade union movement. Employers are pushing hard flexibility and precarious work forms and contracts. JTUCC is lobbying pro-worker provisions into labour legislation, like the right to strike and to neg otiate, and implementation of a fair social security system. Thus, the cooperation among trade unions and Confederations and strengthening their capacity and representation are very important in this volatile situation. Results of this project will be more effective lobbying of pro-worker labour policies, decent work principles, minimum wage levels, and OHS standards into national legislation. The capacity of interest representation of the trade union movement will be developed through training and the awar eness of the labour and trade union rights will be raised among workers. The main beneficiaries are Confederations, their coordination committee JTUCC, trade union activists, leaders and ultimately the workers. The contract partner is JTUCC. The implementi ng partners are the confederations belonging to JTUCC.
