The intervention addresses the interconnected social, economic, and environmental vulnerabilities faced by marginalised groups in Baraha Taal Rural Municipality—including migrant households, Dalit communities, disaster-affected families, women, and minorities. The program strengthens adaptive capacity, promotes climate‑resilient livelihoods, and builds inclusive community systems to break cycles of exclusion, food insecurity, and climate risk. By enhancing disaster preparedness, diversifying incomes, and empowering community groups to challenge discriminatory norms, the initiative fosters long‑term resilience and social dignity. Faith and Development Integration: Complementing this work, the program engages faith communities and leaders as influential partners in driving positive social change. Through trust‑building, interfaith collaboration, and capacity development, faith actors will help reduce harmful practices and mobilise community-led resilience initiatives. Step by step, this integrated approach transforms vulnerability into resilience and supports sustainable, community-driven development.

This project aims to support developing countries and countries in transition in developing integrated solid waste management systems at the national and city levels, resulting in increased material recovery and reduction of most harmful practice, i.e., open burning and dumping of waste. Many countries do not handle waste streams in an integrated manner, and relevant stakeholders are not informed on how they can contribute to the waste management systems. Such situation exacerbates negative impacts of waste on the environment through increased greenhouse gas emission from the waste sector, waste related damages to ecosystems and their functions, and increasing pollution associated with waste inappropriately managed. Waste generation has been on the rise, especially in cities and municipalities as a result of rapid urbanization, livelihoods and changes in lifestyles, with poor collection and disposal practices. Around 8 billion people generate waste every day, and at least 50% of municipal solid waste is not managed in a controlled manner. It is projected that an amount of waste will increase, and the current waste management systems cannot handle ever increasing waste generated, including from disaster and conflict related events. Building on UNEP’s earlier effort on the development of national or city-level waste management strategies, this project will focus on implementation of national and/or city waste management strategies in developing countries and countries in transition and their transition towards zero waste. This flagship project is the main UNEP effort to achieve the UNEP MTS’s 2025 outcome 3B, “Waste management is improved” as well as the 2026-2029 outcome, “Waste discharged into the environment has declined in volume”. The project will produce three outputs: 1) National and/or city waste management strategies implemented; 2) Global and regional waste management partnerships influence national or city level waste management decisions; 3) Knowledge on integrated solid waste management produced, collated and shared. National and/or city waste management strategies provide national and/or city guidance on how the waste management systems can be improved with medium- and long-term targets and goals. Implementation of strategies will be accelerated through developing policies and legislative frameworks, planning for infrastructure/technology introduction, institutional capacity building and waste monitoring and assessment based on the integrated solid waste management approaches. To provide opportunities to learn from the existing knowledge of integrated solid waste management, the project will generate, collate, and share knowledge on waste management, taking into consideration stakeholders’ ‘demands and needs as well as global priorities of waste management. It is further important to involve a wide range of waste management stakeholders in the project activities and stimulate and motivate them to take sustainable actions to change their production and consumption patterns. The project will conduct a series of outreach activities and strengthen communications with the targeted stakeholders.

The Netherlands WASH SDG Programme aims to reach an improved WASH situation for all. This includes the hard to reach households; the poorest of the poor and those living in remote or slum areas, men and women. The Programme will contribute by sustainably improving access to and use of sanitation and improving hygiene behaviours for at least 2 million people, and access to and use of safe drinking water for at least 450,000 people in the coming five years. As sustainability will only be realised when equal access and use for women and men is guaranteed, the programme will mainstream gender equality and social inclusion in the whole programme cycle. Our programme activities will target those households in communities and cities that have insufficient access to WASH facilities and/or practice unhealthy WASH behaviours which results in the entire community living in an unhealthy environment. Consequently women and men of entire communities and neighbourhoods in cities will benefit from programme activities. As a result, the WASH SDG programme is expected the reach over 7.4 million people through project activities.

What are the aims of the project? Perinatal depression affects about one in five women in low- and middle-income countries and has huge human and economic costs. The condition can be treated effectively with ‘talking therapies’. However, the vast majority of women in low-income countries remain untreated because of serious lack of mental-health specialists to deliver such therapies. In our previous work, we have adapted talking therapies so these can be delivered by non-specialists in low-income settings. In order to make such interventions even more accessible to the larger population, we aim to develop and evaluate a digital Application (App) to facilitate delivery of a WHO-approved ‘talking therapy’, the Thinking Healthy Programme, through lay-women. The project will be conducted in Pakistan. We also aim to train researchers in Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to conduct similar research in their settings. How will the project be carried out? Phase 1 - Development of the App: We have extensive knowledge of the content, methods of training, supervision and delivery of the Thinking Healthy Programme which was developed by our team. Building on this knowledge, we will develop the App by employing a Human-Centred Design, which places end-users at the heart of the process in 3 steps: a) identifying the requirements of lay-therapists and mothers; b) testing multiple prototypes on selected users, and; c) testing the final prototype in actual conditions. This phase will take about 18 months. Phase 2 - Evaluation of the App: We will then compare the effectiveness and ‘value-for-money’ of our new App-assisted Thinking Healthy Programme with routinely delivered programme in low socio-economic settings in Pakistan. All pregnant women from randomly picked villages, who score highly on a depression questionnaire, will receive one or the other intervention. We will then assess both groups at 3 and 6 months after childbirth for symptoms of depression and other health outcomes. We will interview some participants in more detail to understand the facilitators and barriers to the new way of intervention delivery. We will determine the costs associated with the programme to evaluate its ‘value-for-money’. This phase will take about 30 months. Phase 3 – Training of researchers in other countries of the region: In addition to Pakistan, junior or mid-career researchers from Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka will be selected to undergo a specially-designed training programme in conducting research in perinatal mental health in their own settings. In total, 8 researchers will be trained. As part of their training, they will undertake research projects in areas which are thought to be critical for implementation of interventions for mental health. How will this project benefit the public? Ultimately, this project will lead to more women with perinatal depression in Pakistan and other low- and middle-income countries to receiving the treatment they need. In addition to developing innovative ways to deliver interventions, we plan to raise public awareness of perinatal depression and what can be done about it through our well-established South Asian Hub for Advocacy, Research, and Education in mental health, operating in all four countries since 2012. We will carry out community meetings where we will share the findings of our project. In Pakistan, we will incorporate our innovations into the ‘President’s Programme to Promote Mental Health of Pakistanis’. At the global level, we will work closely with the World Health Organization to incorporate our findings into the revised version of the Thinking Healthy Programme which will be disseminated to all member countries through the WHO’s flagship mental health gap action programme.
