(Nepal): USAID's Integrated Pest Management (IPM) activity will invest FY 2021 resources to increase farmers' adoption of IPM for vegetables, maize, rice, and lentils by promoting the use of an integrated package of technologies and practices to minimize the use of chemical pesticides. Endorsed by USAID and the Government of Nepal, IPM minimizes the use of chemical pesticides while effectively controlling pests and diseases to benefit farmers, consumers, and the environment. Through training and targeted technical assistance, it will build public and private sector stakeholders' capacities for science-based pest management and pesticide selection processes to reduce pests, including Fall Armyworm, pesticide risk, and conduct pesticide safety training of trainers. Using FY 2021 funds, this activity will partner with agro-dealers to conduct field trials and demonstrations of IPM technologies side-by-side with conventionally treated crops. It will closely collaborate with other Feed the Future activities to share methods and practices that have proven successful in managing pests using integrated methods. The activity will expand the scale of its interventions to improve technologies and practices with women and marginalized groups, and train and empower women scientists and plant health professionals. .Virginia Tech University was selected due its technical capacity to implement this intervention in partnership with its Nepal-based sub-awardees and with public and private sector stakeholders. This activity will utilize $50,000 of Adaptation - Indirect directives. It contributes to USAID/Nepal's CDCS DO2: Broad-Based and Inclusive Economic Growth Fostered, and Embassy Kathmandu's ICS Goal Two: Increase America's prosperity by developing Nepal as a reliable economic partner... .. .

(Nepal): .While Nepal has achieved universal access to primary education, there remain pockets of marginalized groups - including children with disabilities (CwD) - that do not have access to education. The Reading for All (R4A) activity's objective is to improve reading outcomes for CwD and functional limitations in grades 1-3 in the 16 districts of USAID's Early Grade Reading Program (EGRP). FY 2020 funds will be used to implement an early disability and functional limitation screening tool for students; support the GON to develop a more detailed disability Education Management Information System (EMIS) to improve the quality of data on CwD; implement an education response system and provide necessary referrals; revise national teacher training modules to include support for CwD in early grade reading; and continue supporting teachers on instructional methods for teaching CwD to read. ..Humanity & Inclusion, as a leading implementer on disability programming, is uniquely positioned to apply international learning to the Nepal context in this nascent sub-sector of disability-inclusive education. R4A's emphasis on supporting GON systems to provide equitable access to quality education ultimately contributes to improving key metrics of self-reliance, inclusive development, and government capacity.

Spinal cord injury treatment care and rehabilitation remain major unmet needs in Nepal. Many cases of SCI are caused by falls from heights from trees (from which farmers cut fodder for their stock) and building sites. Road traffic accidents have become the leading cause of SCI in recent years. Moreover in 2015 two devastating earthquakes hit Nepal followed by hundreds of aftershocks. Estimates of injured vary between 22000-100000 many of them also having SCI.The International Nepal Fellowship (INF) owned Gr een Pastures Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre (GPHRC) in Pokhara remains the only health facility outside Kathmandu Valley that is specialized in providing rehabilitation services to people with SCI. GPHRC provides services to the Western Development Reg ion and through four INF clinics also to the Mid-Western Development Region - a total population of around 8.5 million people; in Pokhara and its surrounding areas 14 million. In the continuation phase the activities to improve rehabilitation services for people affected by SCI that were started in 2013-2016 project will partly remain the same. In addition GPHRC will start admitting SCI patients also in the acute phase straight after the trauma has happened. In many cases there is still a remarkable delay b etween acute trauma care and beginning rehabilitation. Too often delay leads to secondary complications (esp. pressure sores) that could be avoided with appropriate care. The hospital aims at becoming a holistic treatment and care centre for SCI patients c overing acute phase trauma treatment and care (incl. operative fixation) physical and mental rehabilitation education of patients and carers home assesments and modifications prior to discharge income generating activities for the injured follow-up and in some cases scholarships for the children of SCI patients to ensure that they can continue to go to school even after injury of the main bread winner of the family. The project will be implemented by International Nepal Fellowship Nepal?s (INF/Nepal) Green Pastures Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre (GPHRC) in collaboration with INF?s Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) programme.

The project develops Nepali forestry sector workers awareness, skills and methods in sustainable forest management. At the same time the trade unions capacity and joint action are promoted, and union membership enhanced.Often times the methods used in Nepa li forest management have been short-sighted and the occupational health and safety (OHS) practices weak. In addition, the workers awareness and opportunities to effect on their terms has been minimal. Due to low organising rates unions have not been able to effectively defend workers interests. The project strengthens unions and OHS through education, training and organizing, contributes toward applying more sustainable forest management methods and forests viability and sustainable use. Increasingly union s, with other civil society actors, will influence forest and conservation related policies, so that labour rights are taken into account in them.Union’s capacities, opportunities and networks will strengthen, and this will ensure more effective defendin g of the workers’ rights application. Gradually, also collective agreeing and social dialogue will begin to improve positively toward workers terms and conditions. OHS situation will improve and finally the status of forests will become healthier and mul tiple use of forests will realize.In the outset project’s beneficiaries are trade unions (skills, image, strength), which will gradually be better able to defend and promote worker’s rights, terms and OHS. Gradually, many forest and nature sector worke rs will benefit from the project. Project is coordinated by Building and Wood Workers International Nepalese Affiliates Committee (BWI NAC), and implemented by their affiliates in Nepal (CAWUN and CUPPEC).

(Nepal): The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MOEST) has demonstrated its commitment to ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students by meeting targets set under the 2016-2021 School Sector Development Program (SSDP). The MOEST and development partners are developing a new five-year sector plan. In USAID's Education Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) Phase 1, the activity supported one disbursement linked indicator (DLI) that targeted improving primary grade learning outcomes through scale-up of the National Early Grade Reading Program (NEGRP). In SWAp Phase 2, under the new SSDP, USAID will use FY 2020 resources to expand its support to at least two DLI result areas, continuing to incentivize the GON's implementation of targeted interventions to improve primary grade learning outcomes and to ensure that the most marginalized groups have access to education - even in the face of crisis. Potential Phase 2 DLIs include financing targets to expand the NEGRP to the remaining 38 districts, implementing "pro-poor" school interventions that advance Nepal's Equity Strategy, and supporting the continued development of digital distance learning..SWAp Phase 2 advances the USAID key Basic Education Policy priorities: "Children and youth gain literacy, numeracy and social-emotional skills that are foundational to future learning success" and "the most marginalized and vulnerable, have increased access to quality education that is safe and relevant." This assistance will allow the USG to better harmonize foreign development efforts with other donor partners, demonstrate commitment to the principles of aid effectiveness, and achieve financing and Journey to Self-Reliance metrics. This activity supports the Embassy Kathmandu's ICS Goal Two: Increase America's prosperity by developing Nepal as a reliable economic partner and Mission Objective 2.2: Nepal improves health and education outcomes to increase economic productivity..
