Doti Poverty Reduction Project
Description
Project aims to reduce poverty of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Doti District in Nepal. The targeted participants of the program are Dalits, women and land-poor families of Doti District. The project anticipates directly benefiting 2,000 households (about 12,000 people) in the selected eight VDCs of the district. Secondary beneficiaries will be selected civil society organizations and formal and informal leaders. The project anticipates directly benefiting 10 Civil Society Organizations and 40 leaders. The project strategy has two main thrusts. The first is a rights-based approach focusing on capacity building of individual women and Dalit leaders and civil society organizations to promote greater participation and stronger leadership in district development processes, to advocate for social justice and equity at district, regional and national levels. Secondly, the project will strengthen local civil society organizations to complement rights based programming with needs based outreach capacity to increase and diversity economic development strategies of the target groups in the selected eight-project area village Development Committees.
