Development projects in Nepal

We prevent at-risk Nepali girls and women from being kidnapped and forced into sex slaves or bonded labor, and we rescue those who have already suffered the trauma of being trafficked. JHF provides education, job training, housing, and medical support. Every Nepali girl is at risk of becoming a slave either in the big cities of Nepal, or more likely to be transported to India, the Middle East and Asia. The work also is in enforcement of laws. JHF wants to eradicate this risk one life at a time.

The Chepang people are perhaps the poorest, least educated and most marginalized people in Nepal. Until very recently they were denied citizenship and most still are not citizens. They live as part-time farmers and part-time hunter gatherers. Food insecurity is constant. Most are hungry, many don't even have the most basic shelter to live in. Over 80 percent are under the poverty line, which means they survive on less than US$1 per day. This project focuses on just getting a roof over their head

Nepal is one of the least developed countries in the world and 1/3 of the population - mostly from rural areas - live in absolute poverty with limited access to basic amenities or schooling. Girl children are often denied schooling (63% literacy for boys and only 35% for girls). Programs focusing on rural girls will build a foundation to improve women's lives in rural Jumla - a remote rural district recovering from the 10 year civil war. Teaching girls basic literacy will lead them to education.

This is a FPIC Research follow-up/advocacy strategy. Oxfam together with Community Self Reliance Centre (CSRC), and with research by Dr. Navin Rai, examinedthe International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) and FMO’s (Dutch Development Bank) implementation ofits Free,Prior and Informed Consent commitment at the Upper Trishuli-1hydroelectric project.IFC is the lead arranger ofthe debt package for the UT-1 project involving eight other lenders among them the Dutch Development Bank, FMO. The financing is provided to the privately-owned Nepal Water and Energy Development Company (NWEDC) that is majority owned by the Korean Southeast Power Corporation.The research assessed and compared the extent to which the NWEDC’s interpretation of FPIC aligns with best practice and the Oxfam definitionof FPIC, and whether NWEDC behavior and process aligns with FPIC requirements as defined in IFC’s performance standards 7 on indigenous peoples. IFC’s performance standards 7 on indigenous peoples will be the primary standard against which FPIC implementation will be evaluated, since FMO has adopted IFC’s performance standards. This researchprovided communities with the opportunity to expresstheir views on howagreement-making with communitieshas taken place, how consent has been reached, and how FPIC has been implemented. Documenting and sharing lessons learned with stakeholders nationally and globally is key in improvingthe situation for the affected communities of the Trishuli dam, as well asFPIC practices in Nepal, and around the world. This report follows and builds on research, carried out by LAHURNIPin 2017,in Rasuwa District. This research highlighted key concerns from communities related to inadequateconsultation and engagement in decision making. In 2018 in a three-monthperiod, an FPIC process took place, even though we can challenge the fact that the Free and Prior components were already violated, as land was acquired already back in 2011 and 2012. This research contributes to Oxfam’s work on FPIC and financial institutions under the SIDA2GROW plan focusing on Leveraging progress within one IFI to encourage more IFIs to follow suit, with a specific emphasis on strengthening policy and/or practice regarding FPIC andmeaningful consultation for Indigenous Peoples and/or Local communities.

It is particularly rare for girls that come from poor and Dalit families in rural villages of Nepal, to receive an education. Consequently, this project will support girls most in need of schooling. Educating girls has many advantages such as, improved gender equality, health, education, better family planning and economic growth.

The biggest barrier to keeping girls in school is the cost of a uniform, shoes and supplies.Girls often drop out of school because they lack these simple and cheap things. Once out of school there is tremendous societal pressure to marry. 34% of marriages in Nepal involve girls under the age of 16. 20% of the nearly 10,000 girls trafficked out of Nepal are under 16. Staying in school lowers HIV and infant and maternal mortality Staying in school results in fewer children being born
