Nepal: mit einem Fächer von Massnahmen gegen die geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt

01.02.2016 - 30.06.2020

Geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt ist ein in Nepal weit verbreitetes Problem, das die nachhaltige Entwicklung behindert. Daher haben die DEZA und der Bevölkerungsfonds der Vereinten Nationen (United Nations Population Fund, UNFPA) Anfang 2016 ein auf 3 Jahre ausgelegtes Präventions- und Aktionsprojekt lanciert. Frauen und Mädchen werden über ihre Rechte aufgeklärt und ermutigt, Übergriffe zu benennen. Männer und Buben werden motiviert, ihr Verhalten gegenüber Frauen zu ändern. Und Opfer sollen schneller und besser behandelt werden. Erste ermutigende Veränderungen können bereits festgestellt werden.

Brücken als Lebensadern

01.08.2014 - 31.07.2019

In Nepal sind Fussgängerbrücken für die Mobilität in ländlichen Gegenden von zentraler Bedeutung. Rund 80 dieser Brücken wurden durch die Erdbeben im Jahr 2015 beschädigt oder zerstört. Tausende Menschen in Bergregionen hatten daher nur noch beschränkt Zugang zu Bildung, Gesundheitsversorgung und lokalen Märkten. Die DEZA beteiligte sich am Wiederaufbau und konnte sich dabei auf ihre langjährige Erfahrung im Land stützen.

Ein Fonds für Berufsausbildungen für benachteiligte Menschen

01.01.2011 - 30.06.2020

Die DEZA hat mit der nepalesischen Regierung und anderen Partnern den Employment Fund Nepal etabliert. Damit werden Ausbildungen für junge und benachteiligte Menschen ermöglicht. Die Bildungsinstitutionen übernehmen die Kosten und erhalten eine Rückvergütung aus dem Fonds, wenn die ausgebildeten Personen eine Anstellung mit einem zufriedenstellenden Einkommen finden.

Gender-based Violence Prevention and Response Project (GBV Project)

01.01.2024 - 31.12.2027

Gender-based violence is prevalent in Nepal because of patriarchal values, lack of rights awareness or support services and poor implementation of laws. In the first phase, the project will directly reach 50,000 households in three districts with GBV prevention activities involving women, girls, men and boys and will provide improved medical, psychosocial and legal services for a minimum of 1’000 GBV survivors. Subsequently, the coverage will be increased.

Subnational Governance Program (SNGP)

16.07.2023 - 15.07.2030

The overall goal of the Program is to support the subnational governments to build sustainable, inclusive and democratic institutions that deliver services to the citizens, especially from disadvantaged groups, in an efficient and effective way and as per their constitutional mandate. The Program will be nationally coordinated government-led and implementation will mainly take place in all seven provinces and 753 local level governments of Nepal.

Enhanced Skills for Sustainable and Reliable Employment (ENSSURE)

01.01.2020 - 31.12.2025

500’000 unskilled youths enter the Nepali labour market yearly but remain un- or underemployed as the market cannot absorb them. ENSSURE aims at enhancing gainful wage and self-employment mainly for youth of disadvantaged groups through short-/medium-term training, apprenticeship and business skills development. It will work through close public-private partnerships at national and district level of the vocational training and expand service provision to sectors of high productivity and employment.

She Leads – Women Leadership Programme

01.01.2019 - 31.12.2022

Federalism has created a historic opportunity for some 14’000 Nepalese women, over half of them from socially discriminated groups, to serve for the first time as elected representatives at local level. However, most elected women at local level remain excluded from political decision making due to discrimination based on patriarchal norms and values, and lack of resources and networks. The project promotes women leadership to support the peace process and to prevent future conflicts.

State Support Programme (SSP)

01.10.2018 - 31.07.2030

Well-functioning State institutions and governance processes are key to success or failure of the new federal system in Nepal. States are a critical catalyst for identity, conflict resolution, regional development and the consolidation of the peace process. By promoting platforms for intergovern-mental cooperation and deliberative processes, and by fostering implementation capacities and the link with citizens in State 1, the program contributes to a successful federal transition in Nepal.

Migrant Rights and Decent Work (MiriDew)

01.09.2018 - 31.08.2021

Remittances sent home by over 3 million Nepali migrant workers have significantly reduced poverty. Nevertheless, the rights of migrants are regularly violated. The proposed project will enhance the Government of Nepal’s understanding of overseas labour market conditions and strengthen mechanisms to better protect the rights of Nepali workers at home and abroad through better consular support and a strong presence in the international policy dialogue.

Safer Migration (SaMI III) project

16.07.2018 - 15.07.2022

Labour migration is positively affecting Nepal’s socio-economic development with remittances significantly reducing poverty. Nevertheless, the rights of migrants are often violated. The Safer Migration project will empower migrants and their families and strengthen government protection mechanisms. The project will benefit about 600’000 men and women in three states of Nepal and enable about 60 local governments to run foreign employment services.

Motorable Local Roads Bridge Programme (MLRBP) – Phase III

01.03.2017 - 31.07.2020

MLRBP III will contribute directly to improved livelihoods of 1.2 million rural people through technical assistance in bridge building and facilitating improved access. Lack of access to services, markets and opportunities remains one of the reasons for high poverty. Bridges on local roads are critical for an all year round access for the rural poor, creating economic and social development opportunities for them, and reducing the huge economic costs they incur for travel, trade, health and farm inputs.

Sajha Sawal (Common Questions)- Towards Federalism

25.02.2017 - 31.05.2018
