SEBAC NEPAL Annual Report 2014.Indd 4 Annual Report 201 AnnForewordual fromR Chairperson:eport The summary presentation of SEBAC Nepal’s social undertakings pertaining to 2014 AD has come to publication. It is extremely a jubilant occasion to share & cherish the meaningful outcomes and the degree of social economic transformation implanted in the social milieu entailing excluded, deprived, marginalized, vulnerable, poor, exploited dalits, ethnic groups and women. The enlightenment in terms of qualitative & quantitative outputs engendered through various socio-economic inputs has been inspirational & energizing for the eternal social ventures. Our effort, endeavor and commitment for the sake of the underprivileged people have been unabated since the foundation of SEBAC Nepal nearly two decades ago. That is why we are designing & launching people oriented, empowering, participating, pro-people oriented social development programs in joint collaboration with the donor community. We would like to thank our generous donor of development programs i.e. USAID, TBSU / Helvetas, GSF / UN Habitat, SIMAVI, Plan Nepal, Practical Action, PAF, ADB / DoLIDAR for their fi nancial & technical support. This year was a busiest year for SEBAC Nepal family as ever, that our enthusiastic, dedicated, disciplined & result oriented program staffs, whose magnanimous duties have produced the best results in the fi eld level. Their demonstrative ability was instrumental in Community Infrastructure Project, Safe WASH II project, Trail Bridge Project, PAF, Girls Power Project, Community Irrigation Project, Household Economy Program, WASH and SMCPTA project. The most delightful news for us this year was to achieve a status of Rural Technical Assistance Provider from TBSU / HELVETAS for the seventeen districts of Far-West and Mid-Western Part of Nepal, SEBAC Nepal began its programs initially from Achham district has now emerged as a dedicated and functioning national level organization. Currently SEBAC Nepal is expanded in 23 districts of the country. Mr. Remant Nath Chairperson SEBAC-Nepal Annual Report 2014 Page i 4 Annual Report 201 AnnForewordual from ExecutiveR Directoreport I am very glad to note that SEBAC Nepal is a leading national level NGO that has been working in community development and social transformation since its establishment in 1997. SEBAC Nepal is contributing in the thematic areas of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Nutrition, Health, Education, Sustainable Livelihoods, Natural Resources Management and Community Infrastructure. SEBAC has already completed its glorious 17 years working with the socially excluded and disadvantaged communities around the country. It is my great pleasure to refl ect the progress and achievements on the organization’s accomplishments during the year. I strongly emphasize in publishing the annual report in future that will also refl ect our planning process including its positive change in the targeted areas. I am fully convinced that the bottom up planning process which SEBAC is applying at the community and the district is a very effective means to achieve intended goal and objectives of the program. At present, the district and VDC planning processes are relatively weak due to the absence of locally elected bodies at all levels, the reason that our staffs, partners and stakeholders have to put their tremendous efforts to make things happen at the fi eld level. Nepal has made enormous progress on the issues such as health, sanitation, livelihoods and poverty reduction. However, inequalities, social disparity and exclusion still exist. We were also a part of these processes in addressing these issues in the past years and will continue in the future as well. I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all our partners, donors and stakeholders for their cooperation, immense support, coordination, and participation. I trust and hope that this spirit can continue in future so that we will be able to demonstrate real progress on priority actions to improve services for all. I am extremely happy and proud to be a part of this great process. This report includes the brief information and data of the annual outcome and achievements of our projects. It is also a call for everyone that we should join together to achieve our dream of an equitable society with sustainable development.

The food security situation in the flood affected districts of Eastern and Western Terai remains precarious, requiring close monitoring, while in the majority of other districts the food security situation is likely to improve in November-December due to harvesting of the paddy crop. Decreased maize and paddy production in some districts may indicate a deteriorating food insecurity situation from January onwards. this period.

  • A Study Report on Disabilty Survey in Kailali District
    A Study Report on Disabilty Survey in Kailali District Chapter I: Introduction 1.1 Background Ecologically Nepal is a very diverse country with large areas of hilly and mountainous terrain. Due to this difficult terrain infrastructure tends to be very underdeveloped. Nepal is also one of the poorest countries in the world (In the UNDP HDI they are 136 out of 175 countries). In addition to this the population of Nepal includes many different ethnic groups and the majority of the population conforms to very specific caste hierarchies. There are wide discrepancies between different caste and ethnic groups in terms of their relative wealth and also their access to education. All of these factors inevitably affect the situation of disabled people in Nepal. According to WHO, Disabilities is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. Impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations. Thus disability is a complex phenomenon, reflecting an interaction between features of a person‟s body and features of the society in which he or she lives. Disability and poverty are intricately linked. Disability causes poverty and poverty exacerbates disability – people with disabilities are among the poorest and most vulnerable. Global estimates indicate that at least ten percent of the world‟s population lives with some form of disability. In the South Asia Region, a vast number of people are disabled and lack basic support such as access to social safety nets, education, health services, and gainful employment.

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.
