NLN Correspondent, KATHMANDU:
The European Commission (EC) signed on Friday grants worth Rs 165.146 million for three new projects developed and implemented jointly by the EC and Nepalese NGOs.
In a statement signed by Eduardo Lechuga-Jimenez, Acting Head of the Delegation of the EC to Nepal, the EC said the three projects were aimed at sustainable development of disadvantaged ethnic communities, improving livelihood security of socially excluded communities, and Dalit empowerment programme.
The first project on ethnic communities to be implemented by ActionAid UK and three Nepalese NGOs: Action Aid Nepal, Federation of Indigenous Nationalities and Sahakarya, has received Rs 489,735 million. The four-year project activities will focus on benefiting ethnic communities in the Eastern and Central Development Regions.
Another four-year project for the socially excluded communities in Nepal received Rs 620.511 million. The project activities will benefit communities in the Western, Mid-Western and Far-Western Development Regions of the country, the statement said.
The third project on Dalit Empowerment, also a four-year project, is said to benefit the Dalits of Western and Central Nepal. The DanChurchAid and four Nepalese NGOs: LWF Nepal, Feminist Dalit Organisation, Dalit Welfare Organisation and Nepal National Depressed Social Welfare Organisation are jointly implementing the project.
