Description
The Education for Income Generation and Conflict Mitigation in Nepal program is designed to respond to a root cause of conflict?exclusion of disadvantaged youth from relevant education, training and employment opportunities. This multifaceted program will combine 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 youth (e.g., internally displaced persons, low caste groups, ethnic minorities and girls) to increase access to primary, secondary and higher level (10+2 and college certificate level) education. A cross-cutting theme throughout all of these activities will be 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 the promotion of human rights. The primary beneficiaries of this program will initially be disadvantaged, conflict-affected and internally displaced youth throughout mid-western Nepal. However, if Washington approves, the Mission intends to expand the number of target beneficiaries of this program to include former Maoist combatants. This is a five-year activity, including three base years and two option years, with an estimated budget of $12-$16 million.
