The evaluation has focused on four components namely, literacy (Component 1 or C1), vocational (Component 2 or C2), agricultural productivity and enterprises (Component 3 or C3) and scholarship to Dalit (Component 4 or C4 ). Background: USAID/Nepal supported Education for Income Generation (EIG)Program was a five-year (2008-2012), $14.7 million program designed to respond to a root cause of conflict— exclusion of disadvantaged youth from relevant education, training and employment opportunities. The program combined literacy and life skills education; technical and vocational training linked to employment; training to increase agricultural productivity and raise rural incomes; and targeted scholarships for disadvantaged Dalit youth to increase access to higher (10+2 and college certificate) education. A cross-cutting theme was the provision of peace and reconciliation education for all participants in order to develop the knowledge, attitudes and skills for conflict resolution, peace building, and promotion of human rights. EIG‘s primary beneficiaries were disadvantaged, conflict-affected and internally displaced youth throughout the 15 districts of the Mid-Western Region of Nepal. The goal of the EIG project was to increase youth's access to education and training for income generation and employment. Its major objectives were to increase literacy, vocational skills, agricultural productions and enterprise skills of disadvantaged youth. The program focused on areas historically prone to conflict and interethnic tensions. Overall, the project provided literacy and numeracy skills to 8,792 youth (8,374 females and 418 males), vocational skills to 11,521 (5,667 females and 5,854 males), agricultural productivity and entrepreneurship skills to 54,183 youth (44,158 females and 10,025 males), and scholarships to 421 (194 females and 227 males) Dalit youth. Evaluation questions: This final evaluation has focused on all four components and has been framed in order to answer the six key evaluation questions namely; how well the EIG approach increased disadvantaged youth's access to employment and incomes? How have literacy, numeracy and entrepreneurship skills enhanced women's empowerment and increased agricultural productivity? How relevant was vocational education program to the short, middle, and long-term development needs of Nepal? What were the key challenges to the project? What are the prospects for sustainability of the end results produced and how effective was the program in building the capacity of Nepali organizations. Methodology: In order to assess the EIG program a sample survey of beneficiaries was designed. A sample of beneficiaries from among the total beneficiaries of 74,496 from 15 program districts was drawn. A standard formula was used to estimate sample size and 600 households was determined as sample size but the number of beneficiaries of different types was about 800 individuals. Six districts were randomly chosen to interview 800 beneficiaries. To address the six evaluation questions six different methods/approaches such as desk review, interview with stakeholders/implementers, meetings, FGDs with beneficiaries, interviews with beneficiaries in households and case studies were used. Appropriate tools/checklists/ questionnaires were developed and administered by field researchers and senior evaluators in all six districts and in Kathmandu. The evaluation report includes information analyzed using iii primary and secondary data of the project. In addition, quantitative data collected by interviewing 803 beneficiaries in their homes (240 literacy and numeracy class attendees, 98 vocational trainees, 422 agricultural productivity and enterprise class attendees and 43 Dalit scholarship recipients) have been analyzed. The findings have been enriched by analyzing qualitative information collected by conducting in-depth interviews with key implementing partners, focus group discussions with beneficiaries, and collecting case studies of beneficiaries. Findings: The evaluation study shows that the EIG program approach was innovative; it linked basic literacy with life skills and agricultural entrepreneurship and productivity leading to employment and income generation. Vocational training program was unique as it entailed training providers to find employment for trainees unlike other general trainings. Furthermore EIG program leveraged resources (about $1.4 million) for infrastructure and capacity building activities. The program was integrated; it initially provided basic literacy and numeracy skills to disadvantaged farmers, arranged services and resources to increase agricultural productivity and promoted marketing of products for income generation.

  • Some Notes on Nepali Castes and Sub-Castes—Jat and Thar
    SOME NOTES ON NEPALI CASTES AND SUB-CASTES- JAT AND THAR. - Suresh Singh This paper attempts to make a re-presentation of evolution and construction of Jat and Thar system among the Parbatya or hill people of Nepal. It seeks to expose the reality behind the myth that the large number of Aryans migrated from Indian plains due to Muslim invasion and conquered to become the rulers in Nepal, and the Mongoloids were the indigenous people. It also seeks to show the construction and reconstruction of identity of the different castes (Jats) and subcastes (Thars). The Nepalese history is lost in legends and fables. Archaeological data, which might shed light on the early years, are practically nonexistent or largely unexplored, because the Nepalese Government has not encouraged such research within its borders. However, there seem to be a number of sites that might yield valuable find, once proper excavation take place. Another problem seems to be that history writing is closely connected with the traditional conception of Nepali historiography, constructed and intervened by the efforts of the ruling elite. Many of the written documents have been re-presented to legitimatize the ruling elite’s claim to power. As it is well known from political history, the social history, too, becomes an interpretation from the view of the Kathmandu valley, and from the Indian or alleged Indian immigrants and priestly class. It is difficult to imagine, that Aryans came to Nepal in greater numbers about 600 years ago, and because of their mental superiority and their noble character, they were asked by the people to become the rulers of their small states.

    IIDS Established in January 2002, the Indian Institute of Dalit Studies (IIDS) has been undertaking researches on the development concerns of the marginalized groups and socially excluded communities. Over the last more than five years IIDS has carried-out a large number of studies on different aspects of social exclusion and discrimination of the historically marginalized social groups, such as the Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes and Religious minorities in India and other parts of South Asia (dalitstudies.org.in). In its endeavour to build data base on marginal groups for state policy and social action IIDS has been working with a wide range of national and international funding agencies and collaborates with a large number of scholars world over. Preface and Acknowledgements Indian Institute of Dalit Studies (IIDS) has been among the first research organizations to undertake studies on the development concerns of the marginalized groups and socially excluded communities. Over the last five years IIDS has carried out a large number of studies on different aspects of social exclusion and discrimination of the historically marginalized social groups, such as the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Religious minorities in India and other parts of South Asia. This report is part of a regional research project on caste-based discrimination and constitutes an important landmark for us. For the first time researchers from five countries of South Asia have worked together to understand the nature and forms of caste-based discrimination in different political settings of Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. This comparative study brings out new information on the extent and nature of caste based discrimination and we hope it will open up new spaces for state policy and civil society interventions for making South Asia a more just and democratic region.

During this period, and in spite of moderate economic growth, Nepal has achieved visible gains in poverty reduction, mainly driven by increased remittances, greater connectivity and urbanization, and a decline in the dependency ratio. Despite these improvements, poverty remains severe, with problems of food security and malnutrition. IFAD’s support during the evaluated period has concentrated on rural poverty alleviation through integrated agricultural and rural development programmes; leasehold forestry; and agricultural value-chain development.
