The implementing arrangements are as following: DoLIDAR has established a Project Coordination Unit (PCU) in Kathmandu, headed by a project coordinator to coordinate all project activities. The PCU will be responsible for guiding and monitoring District Development Committees (DDCs) as they implement project components. At the district level, project implementation will be the responsibility of the District Project Office (DPO) within the District Technical Office (DTO) of each DDC.

No.: Kathmandu, Nepal Foreword Nepal has made significant progress in achieving good results in school enrolment by having more children in school over the past decade, in spite of the unstable situation in the country. However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education.
