With a commitment to bring about positive development through collaboration, FCA has been supporting work in Nepal since the 1980s and have had an in-country presence since 2013.

CORE COMPONENTS for the FCA’s work in Nepal have always been livelihood and education, both as long-term development projects and disaster response and recovery programs.

In 2020, the FCA country programme was implemented in 12 districts of four provinces, namely: Province 2 (Siraha, Dhanusha and Mahottari Districts), Bagmati (Sindhuli and Lalitpur Districts), Karnali (Jajarkot, Kalikot and Surkhet Districts) and Sudurpaschim (Kailali, Kanchanpur, Baitadi and Dadeldhura Districts) provinces.

FCA’s local implementing partners:

• Freed Kamaiya Women Development Forum (FKWDF)
• Integrated Development Society (IDeS)
• Sahakarya Nepal
• Nepal National Dalit Social Welfare Organization (NNDSWO)
• Federation of Woman Entrepreneurs’ Associations of Nepal (FWEAN)
• Society of Local Volunteers’ Effort (SOLVE) Nepal

FCA gives due attention to coordination with all relevant levels of the government for programming and implementation. In 2020 FCA and its partners increased their coordination and collaboration mechanism with the target municipalities/ rural municipalities, and local and provincial governments in the program implementation, capitalizing the government bodies’ skills, knowledge and resources.

Coordination efforts with the local and provincial government through inception meetings, local project advisory committee meetings, regular consultation and government’s joint monitoring visits were key to promote ownership of the project at all concerned stakeholders.

FCA partners submitted project activities and budget plans to the local government in the beginning of each year in order to maintain transparency and to explore possible ways to collaborate. Government officials are invited in all relevant events organised by FCA/partners at all levels.
