  • An Evaluation of the Nepal Education Project, 2010 to 2015
    An Evaluation of the Nepal Education Project, 2010 to 2015 Jagannath Adhikari Thomas Robertson September 21, 2015 1 Executive Summary Introduction This is an end of the project evaluation of ‘Nepal Education Project' implemented between 2010 and 2015 in 10 districts in Nepal by Anti-Slavery International, Informal Sector Service Centre (INSEC), and Backward Society Education (BASE). The project was aimed at ending the cycle of labour exploitation by facilitating access to education and skills training for children of former and current Kamaiya and Haliya bonded labourers in Nepal. Kamaiya are generally landless Tharu agricultural laborers who, unlike regular tenants, fall into debt to their landlords and work to repay the debt. In the worst cases, the debt is passed on from generation to generation. In the early 2000s, there were roughly 19,000 Kamaiya families. The Haliya of far-western Nepal are agricultural labourers, generally illiterate untouchable dalits, who have become trapped in debt and caste obligations to higher caste landlords. Despite significant recent changes, the Haliya--like all dalits in the mid West and far West--often face very harsh caste-based social discrimination: they are denied education, government services, and face poor treatment wherever they go. In the early 2000s, there were approximately 17,000 Haliya families. Both the Kamaiya and the Haliya have benefitted from freedom movements during the last two decades, led by NGOs and the people themselves. After many years of grassroots organizing and political lobbying (led in part by one of the partners for this project, the Backward Society of Nepal or BASE), in July 2000 the government declared freedom for Kamaiyas.
