United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ), and Asian American Free Labor Institute (AAFLI). Being a country affiliate of GoodWeave International (GWI), the NGF has proven to be a viable initiative that effectively addresses child labor issues in the carpet industry of Nepal. In its more than 20 years of operation, the NGF has been able to bring more than 50% of the carpet industries to the GoodWeave’s viable standards including the carpet weaving and spinning sectors. Moreover, it is largely expanding toward covering the entire carpet industry of Nepal and replicating its sustainable model into other industries. Through its multi-pronged approach along with inspection, monitoring and certification mechanisms, GoodWeave tries to maintain child labor-free environment in the Nepali carpet industry and other industries while preventing thousands Annual Progress Report 2016 1 Nepal GoodWeave Foundation of children from entering the industries. On the other hand, the NGF provides meaningful alternatives (e.g. education, rehabilitation and skills development training) to the carpet children through various programs and activities. Vision Creation of child labor-free, social, environmental and ethical production of carpet and other industries to add values globally. Mission GoodWeave ensures ethical production, reducing child labor and enhancing socio- environmental (social and environmental) aspects of carpet and other industries. Objectives The organization is started with the objectives to develop child labor-free supply chain of carpet and other industries and nurture the market preference; support to create ethical production in social and environment aspects through expanded standards; provide preventive and alternative opportunities for children and working communities of industries; advocate with concerned stakeholders for protection of child and human rights; and apply the sustainable model for organizational strengthening. Features GoodWeave has its distinguished features. GoodWeave is voluntarily licensed to carpet manufacturers/exporters in producing countries and importers/retailers in the consuming countries. GoodWeave in producing countries has an independent workplace inspection and monitoring mechanism to ensure compliance of GoodWeave criteria. The organization voluntarily certifies individual carpets with the GoodWeave label that have individual code numbers for verification. It works 2 Annual Progress Report 2016 Nepal GoodWeave Foundation to remove child laborers from workplaces and provides them with a long-term and meaningful rehabilitation with appropriate education and vocational training. It makes concerted efforts for family reintegration of the children while ensuring opportunity for continued education with continued support for schooling. The organization also carries out preventive education and other welfare programs for children and families of carpet workers. It contributes to creating clean, healthy and sustainable environment in working with community and concerned stakeholders. Rationale Nepal GoodWeave Foundation is currently working under the guideline of global strategic objectives, which are as follows: Objective 1: Leverage market influence Objective 2: Develop child labor-free supply chains Objective 3: Provide educational opportunities for children Objective 4: Ensure decent works for adults Objective 5: Promote replication of GoodWeave model Major Activities . Child labor preventive program . Inspection, monitoring and certification . Rehabilitation programs . Awareness and advocacy programs Annual Progress Report 2016 3 Nepal GoodWeave Foundation Inspection, Monitoring and Certification Inspection, Monitoring and Certification (IMC) is one of the focuses of the GoodWeave’s operation in Nepal. Independent monitoring officers and monitoring supervisors make frequent, unannounced visits to every loom operated by GoodWeave-licensed producers. The importer companies that partner with GoodWeave International make mandatory the process of license acquisition for their exporters in Nepal. The licensee/supplier is expected to declare its complete list of Level 2 and Level 3 suppliers (subcontractors) including processing, weaving and washing operations with the expectation that any and all facilities will be inspected. Regular monitoring and inspections ensure child labour-free supply chains in Nepal, while the licensed importers receive a GoodWeave label and sticks on the back of their rugs, assuring that their brand is not associated with child/bonded/trafficked labor. The process adequately demonstrates how market forces can be utilized for an issue that demands more than just a naive insistence on humanitarian activism. Besides eliminating child labor, the GoodWeave’s inspection and monitoring process also ensures that bonded and forced labor as well as other malpractices against adult workers are kept at bay. In addition to inspections, annual audits and follow-up audits are also conducted in the production units of GoodWeave- monitored supply chains. The auditing aspect helps to streamline our monitoring procedures and also incorporates worker interviews, ensuring

Impunity and failing to address the reparation to the victims are serious problems. Torture is the genesis, reasons, effects and results of violent conflict. Impact of torture among population is a serious problem especially since Nepal does not have enough health professionals to deal with the substantial number of people suffering from medical psychosocial and other effects of torture. The alternative report is a combine effort made by human rights organizations and civil society to give more information to the Committee against Torture about the implementation of CAT in Nepal. Basically the report has contained the issues, which the state report has missed to deal with, or not adequately dealt with.

Biddya Sigdel Baral 28 April, 2014 University of Tasmania Newnham Campus, Launceston, TAS 7250 Australia ii ABSTRACT Old fashioned, centralised and bureaucratic systems of natural resources management have been blamed for the failure to conserve forest resources. Such arrangements are alleged to result in top-down decision making processes, low levels of community participation, and lack of transparency. These criticisms have led to claims that the devolution of forest management to the community will improve resource management and more effectively deliver sustainable development. The devolution from the state to local communities of natural resource management access rights has been an important policy tool for forest management over the last several decades.
