Status Reason: 

Poverty and Hunger: In Nepal, 21.6 %[1] population live below the poverty line. Low income of the poor is exacerbated by limited opportunities and participation. Severe constraints in agriculture (land ownership and size, technology and inputs) mean poverty and hunger is primarily rural and linked with subsistence farmers and tenants (i.e. landless farmers). Far- and Mid- Western regions are the most disadvantaged. Hill and Terai Dalits, and indigenous minorities remain the poorest segments. The poor in Nepal typically have more children and larger household size, are illiterate or have very low literacy, and are landless or have less than 0.5 ha of land[2].

 

Gender and participation: Despite government efforts and supports from the international community, discriminatory practices such as untouchability of Dalits and discrimination against women & people with disability still remain a challenges. Due to this reason, human development indices vary more widely by caste and ethnicity in addition to regional disadvantages, with lower HDI rankings for Dalits, and other minorities, including Muslims, and indigenous groups.

 

Alternative employment opportunities: Land fragmentation, absence of entrepreneurship skills and insufficient local job opportunities encourage young men into wage labour and migration to urban areas in Nepal, India or other foreign countries. An estimated one-third of working-age men are abroad, sending remittances to about 56% of all households, which constitutes 35% of total family income[3]. Labour migrants also bring back social remittances such as knowledge, skills and social capital, but opportunities to use them, and awareness to use the remittance is very limited. Moreover, increasing migration is also triggering several socio-economic problems in the society.

 

Disasters, climate change and refugees: Nepal suffers a range of natural hazards, being highly vulnerable to earthquake, landslide and flood, which threaten life and assets, especially of the marginalized families. Climate change effects are already intensifying the impacts of disaster. Nepal is highly exposed to a range of water-related hazards such as floods and drought, changing weather patterns, and changes in pest dynamics. Nepal Government is still hosting Bhutanese refugees. The GoN, UNHCR and WFP have been extending generous and lifesaving support to these refugees for many years. LWF Nepal has been engaged to implement the refugee assistance programs since long.

 

Good Governance: Despite the various efforts  by the Government of Nepal and international communities, the awareness and empowerment at the grassroots level is low due to inadequate information, education, capacities to claim for services and resources.

 

Given the current socio-economic context of poverty and disaster vulnerability, LWF Nepal proposes to apply a pro-poor, gender-responsive, inclusive and conflict-sensitive approach to contribute to empower and reduce poverty and hunger amongst the most disadvantaged.
