Progress Achieved: 

Street Child has seen significant outcomes: to date, 1650 beneficiaries have participated in the learning intervention with 45 transitioned to school – a tremendous success in communities where 100% of girls have dropped out of school at age 10. 792 beneficiaries have participated in the livelihoods intervention and transitioned into enterprise establishment or employment; of the 114 beneficiaries assessed to date, 100% are reporting an immediate increase in income. 1650 beneficiaries have participated the life skills support circles and report improved participation in household, marital and reproductive decisions. A pathbreaking Annual Status of Education Report has formed the foundation for efforts to advocate and increase accountability towards the Musahars and other marginalised groups in Nepal.

Key Problems: 

The project has suffered significant setbacks, with the suspension of classes as a resistance from National Nepal Musahar Society. However, we reflect on this as a positive, productive challenge that has resulted in transparent, trusting relationships with Musahar representatives, and in a close, collaborative partnership [most evident in the recruitment of Musahar members into Street Child]. Street Child recognises that the short-term impact on project implementation is outweighed by the long-term impact of increased leadership, representation and voice in the communities - more important than ever as our reliance on local level action and ownership is increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

---

Steps Taken to solve the problem: 

We have established a positive, productive forum for working with the National Nepal Musahar Society; regular meetings are allowing them to raise concerns, call for responsiveness and coordinate responses [and are incorporated into our project plans]. A sense of a shared partnership and strengthened ties and trust have had a significant impact in allowing the smooth resumption of project implementation
