Consultancy for HIV and AIDS Material Development for CLC Classes (Nepal) Terms of Reference: Consultancy for HIV and AIDS Material Development for CLC Classes (Nepal) I. Background: UNESCO’s contribution to the global response to HIV and AIDS is manifest in its position as the lead agency in the UNAIDS Global Initiative on Education and HIV and AIDS (EDUCAIDS) which acknowledges the importance of comprehensive education sector engagement as part of the national response to tackle the HIV and AIDS epidemic. The UNESCO Kathmandu Office, jointly with the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the UN Country Team, conducted a national consultation on drafting MOE Policy and Strategy for HIV and AIDS in March 2010. On the basis of endorsed guidelines and support for the Programme Acceleration Fund (PAF) project, UNESCO will design and develop learning materials for Community Learning Centre (CLC) participants so that they can identify and give potentially life‐ saving information to spouses of migrant workers who are at high risk of contracting the disease. The pilot project will focus on vulnerable women living in two districts: Doti; and Bardiya in the mid and far west regions of the country. In the first phase, an expert NGO or consultant will be hired to review existing documents, materials and draft the training materials for CLC participants. They will then be tasked with designing and developing the learning materials for CLC participants. The second party will draft the final learning materials, pre‐test the documents and provide support in disseminating the information in the CLC classes and workshop/meetings. They will also provide training support to the CLC facilitators. II. Contract Objectives The overall objective of the scope of work is to design and develop the learning materials for the mid and far western regions of Nepal in the Nepali, Doteli and Tharu languages, and to provide support to conduct the literacy facilitator’s training More specifically, the contract will be designed to: • Develop learning materials on HIV and AIDS in the Nepali , Doteli and Tharu languages for proper use; • Help and raise the awareness of illiterate spouses of migrant workers through CLCs; • Support the design of draft training packages for CLC facilitators and facilitate the training which will be organized by the UNESCO Office in Kathmandu; • Provide support in conducting different levels of consultation with different agencies and individuals to finalize the CLC learning materials on HIV and AIDS. These learning materials aim to help achieve the general objective of this project through non‐ formal means of education. The outcome of the developed materials should be used through an action plan to enable the appropriate follow‐up measures and monitoring of the project. Trained literacy facilitators will use these materials on a regular basis. III. Scope of Work The expert NGO for HIV and AIDS material design, preparation and training package development for the CLC participants will be expected to undertake the following activities: • Review existing CLC materials and coordinate with the UNESCO Office in Kathmandu; • Collect , review and design learning materials on HIV and AIDS for CLC participants; • Pre‐test the draft training materials with CLC participants; • Finalize learning materials for participants and prepare an assessment form; • Coordinate with the Department of Education of the Ministry of Education; National Centre for AIDS and STD Control (NCASC); HIV AIDS and STI Control Board (HSCB); national and international NGOs and concerned individuals to finalize the learning materials; • Coordinate with the District‐Level CLC Team, District Education Offices, the District Public Health Office and relevant NGOs; • Provide support in preparing a training package for CLC facilitators and the delivery of training.

  • Chapter 2 Language Use in Nepal
    CHAPTER 2 LANGUAGE USE IN NEPAL Yogendra P. Yadava* Abstract This chapter aims to analyse the use of languages as mother tongues and second lan- guages in Nepal on the basis of data from the 2011 census, using tables, maps, and figures and providing explanations for certain facts following sociolinguistic insights. The findings of this chapter are presented in five sections. Section 1 shows the impor- tance of language enumeration in censuses and also Nepal’s linguistic diversity due to historical and typological reasons. Section 2 shows that the number of mother tongues have increased considerably from 92 (Census 2001) to 123 in the census of 2011 due to democratic movements and ensuing linguistic awareness among Nepalese people since 1990. These mother tongues (except Kusunda) belong to four language families: Indo- European, Sino-Tibetan, Austro-Asiatic and Dravidian, while Kusunda is a language isolate. They have been categorised into two main groups: major and minor. The major group consists of 19 mother tongues spoken by almost 96 % of the total population, while the minor group is made up of the remaining 104 plus languages spoken by about 4% of Nepal’s total population. Nepali, highly concentrated in the Hills, but unevenly distributed in other parts of the country, accounts for the largest number of speakers (44.64%). Several cross-border, foreign and recently migrated languages have also been reported in Nepal. Section 3 briefly deals with the factors (such as sex, rural/ urban areas, ethnicity, age, literacy etc.) that interact with language. Section 4 shows that according to the census of 2011, the majority of Nepal’s population (59%) speak only one language while the remaining 41% speak at least a second language.

  • NRNA Nepal Promotion Committee Overview
    NRNA Nepal Promotion Committee Overview Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia. It is located mainly in the Himalayas but also includes parts of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. With an estimated population of 29.4 million, it is 48th largest country by population and 93rd largest country by area.[2][14] It borders China in the north and India in the south, east, and west. Nepal has a diverse geography, including fertile plains, subalpine forested hills, and eight of the world's ten tallest mountains, including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. Kathmandu is the nation's capital and largest city. The name "Nepal" is first recorded in texts from the Vedic Age, the era in which Hinduism was founded, the predominant religion of the country. In the middle of the first millennium BCE, Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, was born in southern Nepal. Parts of northern Nepal were intertwined with the culture of Tibet. The centrally located Kathmandu Valley was the seat of the prosperous Newar confederacy known as Nepal Mandala. The Himalayan branch of the ancient Silk Road was dominated by the valley's traders. The cosmopolitan region developed distinct traditional art and architecture. By the 18th century, the Gorkha Kingdom achieved the unification of Nepal. The Shah dynasty established the Kingdom of Nepal and later formed an alliance with the British Empire, under its Rana dynasty of premiers. The country was never colonised but served as a buffer state between Imperial China and colonial India. Parliamentary democracy was introduced in 1951, but was twice suspended by Nepalese monarchs, in 1960 and 2005.

  • Some Commonly Used Words of Chepang
    Some Commonly Used Words of Chepang Rishiram Adhikari, PhD.1 Abstract This paper presents some words of the Chepang language used in Chitwan district. The words collected in this paper were gathered from Shaktikhor VDC. Chepangs from various surroundings like Gorkha, Dhading, and Makawanpur have migrated and lived in Shaktikor in recent times so the words have been collected from the area. Collected words were gathered by asking questions to the participants who speak Chepang language in their daily life. The words were recorded before being presented in script by using roman script. Collected words are presented in two columns: Chepangs and English. Key Terms: Chepangs, Multilingual, Tibeto-Burman Family Introduction The word 'Chepang' refers to one of the indigenous nationalities of Nepal, living mainly in central mid hill of Nepal. Chepangs have their own language which is different from other languages. The language is known as Chepang language; however, Byuju has given the name "Khamchi" or "Khamji". In the course of my field research I have not found such separate name of Chepang language in Chitwan. Ross Caughley (2000) clarifies the terms as, "The language is known as Chepang to other Nepali but is called 'cyo? Bang' by the people themselves"(1). He argues on the name and says, "A folk etymology of the name refers to an origin myth in which their first ancestors emerged from cracks in rocks (bang meaning rock plus Cyo? meaning 'tip' of or by an extension of basic meaning recent generation of a lineages"(1). In recent time, inside and out of the community, the language spoken by Chepang is known as Chepang language.

  • Recent Development in Multilingual Education in Nepal Mr
    Recent Development in Multilingual Education in Nepal Mr. Indresh Thakur (Tribhuvan University, Nepal) Despite its small size, Nepal is amazingly linguistically diverse. Various estimates exist, but many Nepali linguists estimate there are at least 130 spoken languages in the country. These trace their roots to the four great language families, ie Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, Dravidian and Austro-Asiatic. There is one potential linguistic isolate, the Kusunda language. Mother tongue education in Nepal started only after the restoration of democracy in 1990. According to the Constitution of that year, children of all ethnic or language group can acquire primary level education in their own language. Nepali, written in the Devanagari script, is the official language of Nepal. In an Interim Three Years Plan of 2008, it was stated that children would be provided education in their mother tongue and a trilingual policy would be adopted in the education system. Efforts made by Nepal’s Curriculum Development Center thus far include: a) provision of local languages as a subject in the curriculum and carrying 100 marks in exams. b) books are being developed in different local languages and c) the CDC is actively involved in MLE project activities. Five books for Grades 1-5 have been developed in the Maithili, Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Tamang, Limbu, Bantawa Rai, Chamling Rai, Sherpa, Gurung, Magar and Nepal Bhasha languages. Books have also been developed for mainly younger grades in Sunuwar, Rajbansi, Tharu, Mugali, Yakka, Gumba Education (Bhot Bhasha) languages. Reference materials have been developed in the following languages: Maithili, Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Limbu, Tharu, Gurung, Magar, Doteli, Chamling, Thakali, Sanskrit and Nepal Bhasha.

  • National Population and Housing Census 2011 (National Report)
    Volume 01, NPHC 2011 National Population and Housing Census 2011 (National Report) Government of Nepal National Planning Commission Secretariat Central Bureau of Statistics Kathmandu, Nepal November, 2012 Acknowledgement National Population and Housing Census 2011 (NPHC2011) marks hundred years in the history of population census in Nepal. Nepal has been conducting population censuses almost decennially and the census 2011 is the eleventh one. It is a great pleasure for the government of Nepal to successfully conduct the census amid political transition. The census 2011 has been historical event in many ways. It has successfully applied an ambitious questionnaire through which numerous demographic, social and economic information have been collected. Census workforce has been ever more inclusive with more than forty percent female interviewers, caste/ethnicities and backward classes being participated in the census process. Most financial resources and expertise used for the census were national. Nevertheless, important catalytic inputs were provided by UNFPA, UNWOMEN, UNDP, DANIDA, US Census Bureau etc. The census 2011 has once again proved that Nepal has capacity to undertake such a huge statistical operation with quality. The professional competency of the staff of the CBS has been remarkable. On this occasion, I would like to congratulate Central Bureau of Statistics and the CBS team led by Mr.Uttam Narayan Malla, Director General of the Bureau. On behalf of the Secretariat, I would like to thank the Steering Committee of the National Population and Housing census 2011 headed by Honorable Vice-Chair of the National Planning commission. Also, thanks are due to the Members of various technical committees, working groups and consultants.
