ANNUAL REPORT 2014 3 FROM THE DESK OF COUNTRY DIRECTOR I am delighted to let you all know that the IM (Individuell Människohjälp), Swedish Development Partner, formerly known as Swedish Organization for Individual Relief (SOIR-IM) has completed half a decade of its work in Nepal, supporting the poor and marginalized people to secure dignity and livelihoods through initiatives on education, economic empowerment and health. It has worked in five districts of Nepal during 2014. It recently renewed an agreement with the Social Welfare Council of the Government of Nepal for our next five years (2015-2019) operations in Nepal. We are at a crossroad where we will critically review our past engagement and adapt our future expanded work based on achievements, best practices and lessons learnt. While doing so, we shall definitely weigh what we are good at and what the rights holders expect from us as well as balancing the focus towards priorities of Government of Nepal in the current socio-economic and political context of Nepal. Needless to say, what results, we at the outset, aimed to achieve and what we have at hand now are the key parameters to reshape our future strategies. Our 2015-2017 strategic plan thus, will focus on education and economic empowerment for sustainable development with human rights-based approach to development. We, in years to come will be collaborating with long-term professional development partners. This focus will be fully backed up by the IM as it will be operating in Nepal under Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida)’s long term funding as a framework partnership. Looking back to our work, I am now content to see nearly 1,449 happy faces of farmer households yielding high-value products from organic farming, some 2,530 smiley faces of children enjoying safe, child-friendly and pleasant school environments, and approximately 2,360 cheerful mountainous people with new eye sight and increased awareness on eye health through eye care support programmes. I am equally encouraged to see higher level of awareness on leprosy – a deadly disease in the southern plains of Dhanusha district and improved eye care situation in remotely located villages of mountainous Mustang district. Furthermore, a few empowered civil society organizations at the village level have managed to rightfully receive funds from the local Government bodies for their social and economic initiatives. With these, the IM’s interventions have significantly contributed to raising awareness on education, organic farming, environment, leprosy and eye care. The creative and active participation of women in public affairs is encouraging. The promotion of quality and child-friendly learning environment considerably contributed to securing higher school enrolments and fewer drop-outs. The waterway renovation has helped farmers to grow more agricultural crops and increase income. A strategic decision at the end of this year taken by the Headquarters will further broaden the scope of our intervention in Nepal. It has been a year since I took up the responsibility to lead IM’s operation in Nepal. The achievements would not have been possible without support from our hardworking and sincere colleagues, committed partners, supportive Government entities and of course, the IM Headquarters in Sweden and South Asia Regional Office in India. I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to you all and anticipate the same level of support in the days to come. With your great support, I sincerely would like to vow for better performance in the future. Dhanyabad! Govinda Neupane Country Director May 2015 4 Individuell Människohjälp (IM) Swedish Development Partner INTRODUCING IM Swedish Development Partner IM Swedish Development Partner (in short IM), a leading Swedish non-governmental organization (NGO) set out its journey in 1938 to support humanitarian needs of war refugees. After a journey of almost seven decades, the organization has changed its working approach from needbased to rights-based. These days, IM strongly believes in inclusion and anti-poverty crusade to save lives of millions of men, women and children. It is guided by a vision to create a world with justice and humanity. Headquartered in Lund, a city located in the southern Sweden, it has been operational in eleven countries in South Asia, Southern Africa, Central America, Europe and the Middle East. It kicked off its operation in Nepal in January 2010. It aims to enhance ability of women, men, girls and boys living in poverty and exclusion, and those from marginalized communities to exercise their economic, social and cultural rights to lead a life in dignity. IM mainly worked in four key areas in Nepal until 2014– education, economic empowerment, health and civil society – results of which are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. In 2014, IM reached about 1,459 households through income generating options and around 5,390 individual people through educational and health support services through its seven partners in five districts, namely Dhanusha, Kathmandu, Mustang, Nawalparasi and Parbat. It would increase its efforts, time and resources to bring about positive changes in the lives and livelihoods of marginalized people through sustainable and rights-based development interventions in future. During the second half of 2014, as part of IM’s new strategy of expansion of Nepal operations with a focus on sustainable development and rights-based interventions, IM Nepal office (then SOIR-IM) hired a new country director and established a country office in Kathmandu from September 2014. This is for close coordination and collaboration with Government and non-governmental stakeholders including enhancing advocacy effort through AIN. This is one of the milestones of IM’s South Asia and IM’s global strategy 2015-2017. It has recently adopted a new strategic plan for 2015-2017 which envisages a shift to sustainable development of education and economic empowerment through various low-cost development models, empowerment, capacity building and the strengthening of civil societies with rightsbased and strategic approaches. In addition, the promotion of accountability within itself, its partners, civil society organizations, Nepali authorities and private sector institutions is a key to success. We aim to reach out to communities with the focus on gender equality and environment and climate sustainability as cross-cutting themes. IM, so far, has covered geographically scattered project sites, however, to be more cost-effective and to align with the Government’s cluster approach, it intends to operate in adjoining districts of western and mid-western Nepal such as Nawalparasi, Kapilvastu and Dang districts in future under following areas of work. Education: By improving educational governance and mobilizing communities, IM promotes equal access to good quality basic and secondary education for marginalized girls and boys, to enable them to unleash their full potential. IM focuses on children especially girls who are denied education because of poverty, disability, marginalization and/or gender inequality. Economic Empowerment: IM promotes economic empowerment of marginalized groups with focus on women to increase their income and raise their social status. IM support aims at increasing their control over income so that their status is elevated and the whole household, including children can benefit. IM promotes interventions such as on-farm, off-farm and skill development of marginalized women and men and youths applying sustainable model of development and rights-based approaches. Civil Society: IM promotes the development of strong and democratic civil society, to empower marginalized individuals to participate in and influence the decisions that affect them. The cooperation includes organizational and capacity development support to partner organizations, support to establish networks among CSOs and facilitation for linkages between them and line agencies. JGWICO members renovating waterway canal to their farm in Pragatinagar, Nawalparasi ANNUAL REPORT 2014 5 THE RESULTS EDUCATION IM, under the education theme had aimed to improve learning environment in schools, enhance enrolment and reduce the practice of corporal punishment and bullying. With a number of interventions, IM was able to significantly improve school enrolment in Janayoti Namuna School, Nawalparasi, Shramsheel Bidhyapith in Kathmandu and Wahaki Higher Secondary School in Parbat. The project, in partnership with Janajyoti Namuna School, made special arrangements for children with hearing disability. It trained teachers, parents and staff to enable them to appropriately deal with such children. The school was also helped to upgrade from grade five to seven. Now 35 deaf children, including 15 girls are enjoying learning in a child-friendly environment. According to the headmaster of Janajyoti Namuna School, Nawalparasi, Mr. Durga Ghimire, the project is providing partial support for paying monthly salary to two teachers who are trained on sign language. IM supported Shramsheel Bidhyapith, Kathmandu. The support has enabled the school to provide free education to 168 students from poor and disadvantaged families out of a total of 484. Students playing in Shramsheel Bidhyapith, Kathmandu The student councils so far in four schools, have been able to influence school decisions and to help school management create child-friendly environment. Due to the involvement of students in school decisions, the councils have helped reducing corporal punishment and bullying in the schools. The students these days interact with teachers without fear. All these results have been achieved due to the effective participation of teachers and students in the workshops on reducing corporal punishment and bullying in schools. The project also supported for infrastructure renovation, including toilets, management of class rooms, provision of computers and installation of solar system in schools, which has contributed to improved learning outcomes and enhancement of school enrolment in schools in Kathmandu, Parbat and Nawalparasi. Further, some 1,683 children, including orphans from Tibetan community under sponsorship programme and disadvantaged ones from Humla, Jumla and Solukhumbu have benefitted in Srongtsen Bhrikuti High School. STORY 01: Umesh’s Ambition Come True Umesh Kumar Sada, 18, is a phenomenal and determined student to pursue further study in the field of medicine. In 2013, he graduated School Leaving Certificate (SLC) with second division of marks. From standard 6 to 10, he received a tiny amount of sponsorship from the Socio-economic Rehabilitation (SER) of the LLSC. It in reality has brought a huge difference in his life. In the meantime, he has a better understanding of what his community actually requires. He knows well that his family and community belong to a so-called backward group and they are denied access to basic services, including health. Many members of his community are suffering from health problems. Some of the medical shops cheated the members of his community in the pretext of treatment. He, therefore, desired to further study in the field of medical science so that he would serve his community and work for their wellbeing. Umesh was diagnosed with leprosy at Lalgadh Leprosy Services Centre (LLSC) at the age of six. His mother and brother were also suffering from this illness. He lived in Sada in Aurahi Village Development Committee-3 of Mahottari district of Nepal. Umesh’s parents were forced to fight against leprosy and poverty simultaneously. The poverty led their lives to hunger, frail health and social stigma. Umesh’s family is one of them who suffered from deep-rooted caste based discrimination. His family members were more vulnerable within their own community. Today, Umesh is blessed with an opportunity by the LLSC so as to study the Community Medical Assistants (CMA) course that will enable him to help his community as a health worker. 6 Individuell Människohjälp (IM) Swedish Development Partner STORY 02: Marginalized Students in Pursuit of a Dignified Life A thousand of students, most of whom are from poor and marginalized families of high Himalayan regions, including Humla and Dolpa districts and Tibet graduated School Leaving Certificate (SLC) from Srongtsen Bhrikuti High School. The school, located at Tinchuli, Bouddha in Kathmandu secured great SLC results this year like in previous years. Jampa Phunstok, who heads school administration, elatedly said, “we have excellent result this year too – 39 out of 39 from the batch of 2014.” This year, only 47.43 percent students got through SLC nationally. Founded in 1982 with the support from The Individuell Människohjälp, Swedish Development Partner (IM), Srongtsen Bhrikuti School currently imparts education to 730 students ranging from 4 to 16 years of age. More than 45 % of students are from remote Himalayan regions. It runs classes from Nursery to grade 10 and has more than 65 trained teachers. While it was initially set up for Tibetan refugees, local and poor pupils from Himalayan regions are also now offered educational opportunities. IM continues to support Srongtsen Bhrikuti School under sponsorship programme to enhance quality education through improved physical infrastructures, capacity building of teachers and students’ participation in school management. Amongst 730, Lobsang Dolma, 16, is one of ten grader students. Her dad’s demise forced her sister, who is currently working as a receptionist in the school, to be a bread earner for her family. Living in the refugee camp, Dolma a class topper, wishes to be an air-hostess. She is happy with school environment, including teaching techniques and other facilities. Pema Tharchin, 16, from Humla is currently studying under sponsorship programme at grade 10. He believes he is privileged to have an opportunity to enroll in the school. Unlike Dolma, he wishes to be a pilot. He is glad with school facilities as his school provides him with computer facilities, library, trained teachers and no corporal punishment. Sherab Dolma from Tinje-2, Dolpa and Surya Lama from Ghyangphedi village, Nuwakot among others, expressed they were lucky to be studying in the school. In Srongtsen Bhrikuti, fifty out of hundred pupils study under sponsorship programme and 250 of them enjoy hostel facilities. Students at a workshop and discussion in Srongtsen Bhrikuti High School, Kathmandu ANNUAL REPORT 2014 7 THE RESULTSECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT “I own nearly one hectare of land. Previously, it yielded hardly 10 quintals of rice annually. It was only rice we used to grow. Now, I can harvest 40 quintals of rice and other crops as well including maize and wheat from the same land. I use no chemical fertilizers but the improved irrigation system has made it possible. It has helped me earn more and send my children to schools”, Keshar Ale Magar, one of the members of the Jaluke Ghumaure Water Irrigation & Consumer’s Organization (JGWICO), Nawalparasi said, adding, “barren land has been in use these days. Now, I do not have to buy food, I sell it instead. It would not have been possible without an excellent irrigation canal constructed by IM’s financial support and knowledge on organic farming imparted by them.” The above story shared by a farmer during a meeting with an evaluation mission, including a representative of the Social Welfare Council of the Government of Nepal last year is a testimony of how small community interventions are impacting on the lives of people. The Chairperson of the JGWICO, Mr. Pahal Singh Rana confirmed that the use of herbal pesticides and compost fertilizer and renovated irrigation system (2,800 meters canal) has improved their livelihoods. The IM activities enhanced successful practice of organic farming among 1,449 marginalized families of Devchuli municipality of Nawalparasi over the last five years. They were trained on organic farming and most of them got connected to district line agencies. Due to improved irrigation system and improved access to agro-inputs, the agro-product of some 223 families has increased by 90 % on average until 2014. A report by external consultant also highlighted that organic farming had reduced daily cash expenditure of farmers on food stuff and vegetables and had increased expenditure on education and health services. It further mentioned that the project contributed to poverty reduction. The report corroborating IM’s claim, clearly writes that the poor and marginalized communities had only three months of food and they had to rely on wage labor before. With the support of the project, they were later able to produce enough food-grain for the whole year. Although the support to Nepal Leprosy Trust (NLT) is a health project, it has contributed to improving livelihood of dozens of families suffering from leprosy. For example, ten families of Lalgadh, Dhanusha improved their economic status through animal rearing. STORY 03: A Daring Dalit Widow: Rebuilding a New Life By Umakanta Bhusal, Programme Officer, JGWICO Ganga Biswokarma, 24, became a widow when her elder son was just 8 and daughter 2 years old. Ganga hails from a Dalit family in Nawalparasi district, where she was married off at an age of 16. Having never gone to school, she had a dream to send her children to school although it was difficult for her with her limited income. She owned 0.3 hectares of land but the crop production wasn’t enough to sustain her family. The situation left her with no option but to toil as a domestic helper everyday so that she could send her children to a nearby school. Despite numerous hurdles, she managed to send her children to school. In 2012, someone from her neighborhood informed her about a training IM’s local partner JGWICO was about to organize. Ganga first hesitated but later she joined it and she not only learned what organic farming was about but also reshaped her life. Following the training, she set out her journey to vegetable farming. The knowledge and skills gained through the training helped her increase the production of crops and vegetables. Today, with the same area of land, she grows enough food-grains to feed her family year round and sell the surplus. In 2014 alone, she sold food-grains worth nearly NRs 30,000. Additionally, she made extra money from the sale of vegetables. These days, she joins every event organized by the IM’s partner to sharpen her skills and she also encourages others to do so. Her identity as a widow has now been shadowed by a self-employed and empowered woman living a dignified life. Lately, she was offered the post of chairperson of a local Mothers’ Group, of which she wasn’t even a member before. This year, she has also been appointed as the member of advisory board of the JGWICO, the IM’s local partner. When asked about her future plans, she said she wanted the Government to engage community based CSOs like JGWICO to empower widows like her. She also stressed that providing five hundred rupees a month to widows as a social security support was not enough. 8 Individuell Människohjälp (IM) Swedish Development Partner THE RESULTS - HEALTH IM supported to establish an eye clinic (Community Eye Centre) in Mustang district in 2009 which has now been a part of the District Hospital although it’s being run through Tilganga Eye Programme. The establishment of the centre made it possible to have 183 eye surgeries done. In 2014, the centre treated 2,360 eye patients, including 1,259 out in the camps. The services of Community Eye Centre include screening eye camps, satellite eye camps and school screening eye camps. The people suffering from leprosy have been forced to live a precarious life in rural Nepal. They not only suffer from physical deformity but also high social stigmatization due to deep rooted superstition that believes that leprosy is a result of past life’s sins. It compels them to live in isolation. The collaboration between IM and Nepal Leprosy Trust – Lalgadh Leprosy Services Centre, Dhanusha has helped those suffering from leprosy recover, rehabilitate and live in dignity. The project also supported them for livelihood improvement through small scale entrepreneurship and to discourage social stigmatization which resulted in positive changes. Eye patients after cataract operation in Mustang The project helped 10 leprosy affected families in Dhanusha to uplift their economic status through income generation activities. It also helped to improve self-esteem of around 500 individuals through awareness. IM’s support has also encouraged children from leprosy-affected families for education. In 2014, around 300 individuals have been socially integrated in their families in Dhanusha district. STORY 04: Counselling Saves Suresh’s Life Suresh Mandal, 35, a leprosy patient who hails from Lagma village of Dhanusha, was admitted at the Lalgadh Leprosy Service Centre (LLSC) for the treatment of planter ulcer. He was sitting alone and looked dejected. There was no charm on his face. He was feeling humiliated and ashamed as his wife left him alone. He was not allowed to stay at home. His family fed him only twice a day and he had to work hard in the farm. Sometimes, he had to even rely on villagers for food. Many times, he was insulted and rejected. The superstition about leprosy in the community severely tarnished his image. He used to sleep out in the temple premises. The state of affairs took a new turn when he started attending counselling sessions at LLSC. It empowered him to explore and share his painful past. By the end of the counselling, Suresh had a clear idea of what he aimed to be. He looked confident. He started thinking positively and asked counsellor to visit his village for community orientation as well. He also expressed his wish to have a new house. He was given five hundred rupees monthly as subsistence allowance for 6 months by the project. With this money, he was able to fulfil his most urgent requirements. As per his request, the staff of LLSC visited his village Lagma to offer community orientation. The counsellor presented scientific facts about leprosy which partly changed the outlook of the community people towards leprosy and leprosy patients. At the same time, the project assured to build a low cost house for him. As a gesture of collaboration, the community managed a piece of land. Thus, Suresh witnessed huge change in his life which he hardly dreamed of before. In the following months, he reported that community people were taking care of him. He received microcredit loan for goat rearing and spent his time in taking care of the goats. Suresh now, owns a house, is physically fit, financially self-reliant and emotionally self-esteemed. Counselling has really made a huge difference in his life. He wishes to re-marry now because he feels ready to take responsibilities. He is heartily thankful to the LLSC. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 9 THE RESULTS - CIVIL SOCIETY The civil society plays a crucial role in planning, implementation and monitoring of development initiatives. Hence, they are at the centre of IM programmes. The capacity building initiatives to strengthening Jaluke Ghumaure Water Irrigation & Consumer’s Organization (JGWICO) in Devchuli municipality (earlier Pragatinagar VDC) of Nawalparasi district was probably the first effort of IM to strengthen CSOs in Nepal. The support from IM has increased JGWICO’s capacity in planning, implementation, budgeting, advocacy and monitoring. As a result of IM’s support in capacity building, JGWICO has recently been able to receive NRs. 60,000 from Devchuli municipality for canal renovation and plantation. Similarly, a total of 1,449 families from JGWICO, Devchuli, Nawalparasi have been organized into a loose network through 29 small groups. They have worked as a model group at the local level in order to raise their voices to the duty bearers. What is worth mentioning is that most members are women and their voices are heard clearer and louder to influence gender issues. through VDC for forestation. It has distributed 22,000 saplings of various species to various groups, schools and nearby community forests in 2014. The sapling distribution was aimed at increasing fodder production to feed their livestock which are raised for more milk and meat. The members of the JGWICO are now invited to the planning meetings by the municipality and they are one of active players. Navadurga Community Forestry Users Group (NDCFUG) during this reporting year has enjoyed IM’s funds With a tiny amount of fund from the IM, local partners, including local authorities, i.e. VDCs have been capacitated and local CSOs are gradually following the rights-based approach to development. SWC Member Secretary facilitating IM’s Annual Partners Network Meeting LESSONS FROM THE PAST Past five years of IM’s work in remote settlements of Nepal have given invaluable lessons apart from the achievements. 1. Local ownership and replication: The experience from Devchuli municipality in the field of organic farming suggests that people are willing to own IM funded interventions. The results are inspiring and neighboring villages continue asking for support. Hence, the replication is highly expected. The network meetings with the partners have proved to be an excellent forum to better understand outcome and methodology in order to achieve the result. It has to be taken into account for the future. 2. Collaboration for results: Educational interventions reveal that qualitative changes can be achieved in schools if the local authority and parents get actively engaged in school management activities. Although the workshops on reduction of corporal punishment and bullying have brought positive response to create better learning environment in schools, the teachers need motivational environment to stop corporal punishment and bullying and the parents need to be involved more. Rights-based approach (RBA) a new concept: With respect to RBA approach to development, it was inevitably a priority during last strategic planning period of 2012-14, the partners faced difficulties to make a shift from charity (needs) based approach to a rights-based approach and required more attention to it. Capacity building of partners and IM team on RBA is realized for bringing about the sustained change in the community. 10 Individuell Människohjälp (IM) Swedish Development Partner LOOKING AHEAD communities, IM felt an absence of accountability among the moral and legal duty bearers. Therefore, IM will promote participation, transparency, non-discrimination and accountability in its future activities. The authorities, as state actors and IM’s partners will also be supported to promote their transparency and accountability. In Devchuli municipality of Nawalparasi with IM’s support, women who, in general are denied access to decision making process, have been creatively participating in the project. Hence, gender mainstreaming in the projects and environment and climate sustainability will be the key future priorities. People in a rally for promtion of organic farming in Nawalparasi If we look back to the past, IM focused more on service delivery approach to development. The learning directs us to put forward an approach to sustainable development through human rights-based approach (RBA). Hence, IM, as envisaged in its strategic plan 2015-2017 will be partnering with professional and long-term partners with an emphasis on economic empowerment and right to education to drive IM’s inclusion and anti-poverty crusade. In order to fully address economic and educational concerns of the boys, girls, men and women from marginalized Pursuant to the Government’s clustering approach in development initiatives, IM will follow clustering of working districts which will help reduce administrative expenses. It will replicate its best practices to the adjoining districts, including Nawalparasi, Kapilvastu and Dang. So far, IM has had presence from the southern plains to the high Himalayan districts. With application of new strategies designed based on the past learning will help to cope up with the challenges and to achieve development goals IM envisaged. In the next three years, IM will have long-term partnership with selected CSOs and strengthen them through mentoring, capacity building trainings on sustainable development, rights-based approach, results based monitoring of project interventions, communicating development results, managing finances including their organizational development to make them accountable CSOs. The Social Welfare Council evaluation team comprised of two externals and two senior officials, including a representative from the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare assessed the project progress in Nov-Dec 2014 in line with set objectives and goals. The efficiency, effectiveness, institutionalization of the project among others were key parameters to assess the performance of the projects. The team found project performance satisfactory and offered some recommendations. Although limitations and deviations cropped up in some cases, there are many instances where achievements have exceeded expectations, and additional activities have also been undertaken by the project. The team has observed ‘IM or SOIR-IM as a new and small INGO operating in Nepal has made some contribution to a small extent but has a good value for the future.’ The shortcomings unearthed and recommendations made by in-house team and externals have been taken into consideration while developing strategic plan for the year 2015-17. The implementation of 2015-2017 plan will help to promote quality of IM’s interventions. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 11 Financial Statement for FY 2014 S. Programmes N.
