FROM THE DESK OF
COUNTRY DIRECTOR
I am delighted to let you all know that the IM (Individuell
Människohjälp), Swedish Development Partner, formerly
known as Swedish Organization for Individual Relief (SOIR-IM)
has completed half a decade of its work in Nepal, supporting
the poor and marginalized people to secure dignity and
livelihoods through initiatives on education, economic
empowerment and health. It has worked in five districts of
Nepal during 2014.
It recently renewed an agreement with the Social Welfare
Council of the Government of Nepal for our next five years
(2015-2019) operations in Nepal. We are at a crossroad where
we will critically review our past engagement and adapt our
future expanded work based on achievements, best practices
and lessons learnt. While doing so, we shall definitely weigh
what we are good at and what the rights holders expect
from us as well as balancing the focus towards priorities of
Government of Nepal in the current socio-economic and
political context of Nepal.
Needless to say, what results, we at the outset, aimed to
achieve and what we have at hand now are the key parameters
to reshape our future strategies. Our 2015-2017 strategic plan
thus, will focus on education and economic empowerment for
sustainable development with human rights-based approach
to development. We, in years to come will be collaborating
with long-term professional development partners. This focus
will be fully backed up by the IM as it will be operating in
Nepal under Swedish International Development Cooperation
Agency (Sida)’s long term funding as a framework partnership.
Looking back to our work, I am now content to see nearly
1,449 happy faces of farmer households yielding high-value
products from organic farming, some 2,530 smiley faces of
children enjoying safe, child-friendly and pleasant school
environments, and approximately 2,360 cheerful mountainous
people with new eye sight and increased awareness on eye
health through eye care support programmes. I am equally
encouraged to see higher level of awareness on leprosy – a
deadly disease in the southern plains of Dhanusha district
and improved eye care situation in remotely located villages
of mountainous Mustang district. Furthermore, a few
empowered civil society organizations at the village level
have managed to rightfully receive funds from the local
Government bodies for their social and economic initiatives.
With these, the IM’s interventions have significantly
contributed to raising awareness on education, organic
farming, environment, leprosy and eye care. The creative
and active participation of women in public affairs is
encouraging. The promotion of quality and child-friendly
learning environment considerably contributed to securing
higher school enrolments and fewer drop-outs. The waterway
renovation has helped farmers to grow more agricultural crops
and increase income. A strategic decision at the end of this
year taken by the Headquarters will further broaden the scope
of our intervention in Nepal.
It has been a year since I took up the responsibility to lead IM’s
operation in Nepal. The achievements would not have been
possible without support from our hardworking and sincere
colleagues, committed partners, supportive Government
entities and of course, the IM Headquarters in Sweden and
South Asia Regional Office in India. I take this opportunity to
express my sincere thanks to you all and anticipate the same
level of support in the days to come. With your great support,
I sincerely would like to vow for better performance in the
future. Dhanyabad!

INTRODUCING IM
Swedish Development Partner
IM Swedish Development Partner (in short IM), a leading
Swedish non-governmental organization (NGO) set out
its journey in 1938 to support humanitarian needs of war
refugees. After a journey of almost seven decades, the
organization has changed its working approach from needbased to rights-based. These days, IM strongly believes in
inclusion and anti-poverty crusade to save lives of millions of
men, women and children. It is guided by a vision to create a
world with justice and humanity.
Headquartered in Lund, a city located in the southern Sweden,
it has been operational in eleven countries in South Asia,
Southern Africa, Central America, Europe and the Middle
East. It kicked off its operation in Nepal in January 2010.
It aims to enhance ability of women, men, girls and boys
living in poverty and exclusion, and those from marginalized
communities to exercise their economic, social and cultural
rights to lead a life in dignity.
IM mainly worked in four key areas in Nepal until 2014–
education, economic empowerment, health and civil society
– results of which are interconnected and mutually reinforcing.
In 2014, IM reached about 1,459 households through income
generating options and around 5,390 individual people
through educational and health support services through its
seven partners in five districts, namely Dhanusha, Kathmandu,
Mustang, Nawalparasi and Parbat. It would increase its efforts,
time and resources to bring about positive changes in the lives
and livelihoods of marginalized people through sustainable
and rights-based development interventions in future.
During the second half of 2014, as part of IM’s new strategy
of expansion of Nepal operations with a focus on sustainable
development and rights-based interventions, IM Nepal office
(then SOIR-IM) hired a new country director and established
a country office in Kathmandu from September 2014. This is
for close coordination and collaboration with Government
and non-governmental stakeholders including enhancing
advocacy effort through AIN. This is one of the milestones of
IM’s South Asia and IM’s global strategy 2015-2017.
It has recently adopted a new strategic plan for 2015-2017
which envisages a shift to sustainable development of
education and economic empowerment through various
low-cost development models, empowerment, capacity
building and the strengthening of civil societies with rightsbased and strategic approaches. In addition, the promotion
of accountability within itself, its partners, civil society
organizations, Nepali authorities and private sector institutions
is a key to success.
We aim to reach out to communities with the focus on
gender equality and environment and climate sustainability
as cross-cutting themes. IM, so far, has covered geographically
scattered project sites, however, to be more cost-effective and
to align with the Government’s cluster approach, it intends
to operate in adjoining districts of western and mid-western
Nepal such as Nawalparasi, Kapilvastu and Dang districts in
future under following areas of work.
Education: By improving educational governance and
mobilizing communities, IM promotes equal access to good
quality basic and secondary education for marginalized girls
and boys, to enable them to unleash their full potential. IM
focuses on children especially girls who are denied education
because of poverty, disability, marginalization and/or gender
inequality.
Economic Empowerment: IM promotes economic
empowerment of marginalized groups with focus on women
to increase their income and raise their social status. IM
support aims at increasing their control over income so that
their status is elevated and the whole household, including
children can benefit. IM promotes interventions such as
on-farm, off-farm and skill development of marginalized
women and men and youths applying sustainable model of
development and rights-based approaches.
Civil Society: IM promotes the development of strong and
democratic civil society, to empower marginalized individuals
to participate in and influence the decisions that affect
them. The cooperation includes organizational and capacity
development support to partner organizations, support to
establish networks among CSOs and facilitation for linkages
between them and line agencies.

THE RESULTS EDUCATION
IM, under the education theme had aimed to improve learning
environment in schools, enhance enrolment and reduce
the practice of corporal punishment and bullying. With a
number of interventions, IM was able to significantly improve
school enrolment in Janayoti Namuna School, Nawalparasi,
Shramsheel Bidhyapith in Kathmandu and Wahaki Higher
Secondary School in Parbat.
The project, in partnership with Janajyoti Namuna School,
made special arrangements for children with hearing disability.
It trained teachers, parents and staff to enable them to
appropriately deal with such children.
The school was also helped to upgrade from grade five to
seven. Now 35 deaf children, including 15 girls are enjoying
learning in a child-friendly environment. According to the
headmaster of Janajyoti Namuna School, Nawalparasi, Mr.
Durga Ghimire, the project is providing partial support for
paying monthly salary to two teachers who are trained on
sign language.
IM supported Shramsheel Bidhyapith, Kathmandu. The
support has enabled the school to provide free education
to 168 students from poor and disadvantaged families out
of a total of 484.
Students playing in Shramsheel Bidhyapith, Kathmandu
The student councils so far in four schools, have been able to
influence school decisions and to help school management
create child-friendly environment. Due to the involvement
of students in school decisions, the councils have helped
reducing corporal punishment and bullying in the schools.
The students these days interact with teachers without fear.
All these results have been achieved due to the effective
participation of teachers and students in the workshops on
reducing corporal punishment and bullying in schools.
The project also supported for infrastructure renovation,
including toilets, management of class rooms, provision of
computers and installation of solar system in schools, which has
contributed to improved learning outcomes and enhancement
of school enrolment in schools in Kathmandu, Parbat and
Nawalparasi. Further, some 1,683 children, including orphans
from Tibetan community under sponsorship programme and
disadvantaged ones from Humla, Jumla and Solukhumbu have
benefitted in Srongtsen Bhrikuti High School.
STORY 01: Umesh’s Ambition Come True
Umesh Kumar Sada, 18, is a phenomenal and determined student to pursue further
study in the field of medicine. In 2013, he graduated School Leaving Certificate (SLC)
with second division of marks. From standard 6 to 10, he received a tiny amount of
sponsorship from the Socio-economic Rehabilitation (SER) of the LLSC. It in reality has
brought a huge difference in his life.
In the meantime, he has a better understanding of what his community actually requires.
He knows well that his family and community belong to a so-called backward group
and they are denied access to basic services, including health. Many members of his
community are suffering from health problems. Some of the medical shops cheated the members of his community in the pretext
of treatment. He, therefore, desired to further study in the field of medical science so that he would serve his community and work
for their wellbeing.
Umesh was diagnosed with leprosy at Lalgadh Leprosy Services Centre (LLSC) at the age of six. His mother and brother were also
suffering from this illness. He lived in Sada in Aurahi Village Development Committee-3 of Mahottari district of Nepal. Umesh’s parents
were forced to fight against leprosy and poverty simultaneously.
The poverty led their lives to hunger, frail health and social stigma. Umesh’s family is one of them who suffered from deep-rooted
caste based discrimination. His family members were more vulnerable within their own community. Today, Umesh is blessed with an
opportunity by the LLSC so as to study the Community Medical Assistants (CMA) course that will enable him to help his community
as a health worker.

STORY 02: Marginalized Students in Pursuit of a Dignified Life
A thousand of students, most of whom are from poor and marginalized families of high Himalayan regions, including
Humla and Dolpa districts and Tibet graduated School Leaving Certificate (SLC) from Srongtsen Bhrikuti High School.
The school, located at Tinchuli, Bouddha in Kathmandu secured great SLC results this year like in previous years.
Jampa Phunstok, who heads school administration, elatedly said, “we have excellent result this year too – 39 out of
39 from the batch of 2014.” This year, only 47.43 percent students got through SLC nationally.
Founded in 1982 with the support from The Individuell Människohjälp, Swedish Development Partner (IM), Srongtsen
Bhrikuti School currently imparts education to 730 students ranging from 4 to 16 years of age. More than 45 %
of students are from remote Himalayan regions. It runs classes from Nursery to grade 10 and has more than 65
trained teachers. While it was initially set up for Tibetan refugees, local and poor pupils from Himalayan regions are
also now offered educational opportunities. IM continues to support Srongtsen Bhrikuti School under sponsorship
programme to enhance quality education through improved physical infrastructures, capacity building of teachers
and students’ participation in school management.
Amongst 730, Lobsang Dolma, 16, is one of ten grader students. Her dad’s demise forced her sister, who is currently
working as a receptionist in the school, to be a bread earner for her family. Living in the refugee camp, Dolma a
class topper, wishes to be an air-hostess. She is happy with school environment, including teaching techniques
and other facilities.
Pema Tharchin, 16, from Humla is currently studying under sponsorship programme at grade 10. He believes he
is privileged to have an opportunity to enroll in the school. Unlike Dolma, he wishes to be a pilot. He is glad with
school facilities as his school provides him
with computer facilities, library, trained
teachers and no corporal punishment.
Sherab Dolma from Tinje-2, Dolpa and
Surya Lama from Ghyangphedi village,
Nuwakot among others, expressed they
were lucky to be studying in the school.
In Srongtsen Bhrikuti, fifty out of
hundred pupils study under sponsorship
programme and 250 of them enjoy hostel
facilities.

THE RESULTSECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
“I own nearly one hectare of land. Previously, it yielded
hardly 10 quintals of rice annually. It was only rice we used
to grow. Now, I can harvest 40 quintals of rice and other
crops as well including maize and wheat from the same
land. I use no chemical fertilizers but the improved irrigation
system has made it possible. It has helped me earn more
and send my children to schools”, Keshar Ale Magar, one
of the members of the Jaluke Ghumaure Water Irrigation
& Consumer’s Organization (JGWICO), Nawalparasi said,
adding, “barren land has been in use these days. Now, I do
not have to buy food, I sell it instead. It would not have been
possible without an excellent irrigation canal constructed
by IM’s financial support and knowledge on organic farming
imparted by them.”
The above story shared by a farmer during a meeting with
an evaluation mission, including a representative of the
Social Welfare Council of the Government of Nepal last year
is a testimony of how small community interventions are
impacting on the lives of people. The Chairperson of the
JGWICO, Mr. Pahal Singh Rana confirmed that the use of herbal
pesticides and compost fertilizer and renovated irrigation
system (2,800 meters canal) has improved their livelihoods.
The IM activities enhanced successful practice of organic farming
among 1,449 marginalized families of Devchuli municipality of
Nawalparasi over the last five years. They were trained on organic
farming and most of them got connected to district line agencies.
Due to improved irrigation system and improved access
to agro-inputs, the agro-product of some 223 families has
increased by 90 % on average until 2014. A report by external
consultant also highlighted that organic farming had reduced
daily cash expenditure of farmers on food stuff and vegetables
and had increased expenditure on education and health
services. It further mentioned that the project contributed to
poverty reduction. The report corroborating IM’s claim, clearly
writes that the poor and marginalized communities had only
three months of food and they had to rely on wage labor
before. With the support of the project, they were later able
to produce enough food-grain for the whole year.
Although the support to Nepal Leprosy Trust (NLT) is a health
project, it has contributed to improving livelihood of dozens
of families suffering from leprosy. For example, ten families of
Lalgadh, Dhanusha improved their economic status through
animal rearing.
STORY 03: A Daring Dalit Widow: Rebuilding a New Life
By Umakanta Bhusal, Programme Officer, JGWICO
Ganga Biswokarma, 24, became a widow when her elder son was just 8 and daughter 2 years
old. Ganga hails from a Dalit family in Nawalparasi district, where she was married off at an age
of 16. Having never gone to school, she had a dream to send her children to school although it
was difficult for her with her limited income.
She owned 0.3 hectares of land but the crop production wasn’t enough to sustain her family. The
situation left her with no option but to toil as a domestic helper everyday so that she could send
her children to a nearby school. Despite numerous hurdles, she managed to send her children
to school. In 2012, someone from her neighborhood informed her about a training IM’s local
partner JGWICO was about to organize. Ganga first hesitated but later she joined it and she not
only learned what organic farming was about but also reshaped her life.
Following the training, she set out her journey to vegetable farming. The knowledge and skills gained through the training helped her
increase the production of crops and vegetables. Today, with the same area of land, she grows enough food-grains to feed her family
year round and sell the surplus. In 2014 alone, she sold food-grains worth nearly NRs 30,000. Additionally, she made extra money from
the sale of vegetables. These days, she joins every event organized by the IM’s partner to sharpen her skills and she also encourages others to do so. Her
identity as a widow has now been shadowed by a self-employed and empowered woman living a dignified life. Lately, she was offered
the post of chairperson of a local Mothers’ Group, of which she wasn’t even a member before. This year, she has also been appointed
as the member of advisory board of the JGWICO, the IM’s local partner.
When asked about her future plans, she said she wanted the Government to engage community based CSOs like JGWICO to empower
widows like her. She also stressed that providing five hundred rupees a month to widows as a social security support was not enough.

THE RESULTS - HEALTH
IM supported to establish an eye clinic (Community Eye
Centre) in Mustang district in 2009 which has now been a
part of the District Hospital although it’s being run through
Tilganga Eye Programme. The establishment of the centre
made it possible to have 183 eye surgeries done. In 2014,
the centre treated 2,360 eye patients, including 1,259 out in
the camps.
The services of Community Eye Centre include screening
eye camps, satellite eye camps and school screening eye
camps.
The people suffering from leprosy have been forced to live
a precarious life in rural Nepal. They not only suffer from
physical deformity but also high social stigmatization due
to deep rooted superstition that believes that leprosy is a
result of past life’s sins. It compels them to live in isolation.
The collaboration between IM and Nepal Leprosy Trust –
Lalgadh Leprosy Services Centre, Dhanusha has helped
those suffering from leprosy recover, rehabilitate and live
in dignity. The project also supported them for livelihood
improvement through small scale entrepreneurship and to
discourage social stigmatization which resulted in positive
changes.

The project helped 10 leprosy affected families in Dhanusha
to uplift their economic status through income generation
activities. It also helped to improve self-esteem of around
500 individuals through awareness. IM’s support has also
encouraged children from leprosy-affected families for
education. In 2014, around 300 individuals have been
socially integrated in their families in Dhanusha district.
STORY 04: Counselling Saves Suresh’s Life
Suresh Mandal, 35, a leprosy patient who hails from Lagma village of Dhanusha, was admitted at the Lalgadh Leprosy Service Centre
(LLSC) for the treatment of planter ulcer. He was sitting alone and looked dejected. There was no charm on his face.
He was feeling humiliated and ashamed as his wife left him alone. He was not allowed to stay at home. His family fed him only twice
a day and he had to work hard in the farm. Sometimes, he had to even rely on villagers for food. Many times, he was insulted and
rejected. The superstition about leprosy in the community severely tarnished his image. He used to sleep out in the temple premises.
The state of affairs took a new turn when he started attending counselling sessions at LLSC. It empowered him to explore and share his
painful past. By the end of the counselling, Suresh had a clear idea of what he aimed to be. He looked confident. He started thinking
positively and asked counsellor to visit his village for community orientation as well. He also expressed his wish to have a new house.
He was given five hundred rupees monthly as subsistence allowance for 6 months by the project. With this money, he was able to
fulfil his most urgent requirements. As per his request, the staff of LLSC visited his village Lagma to offer community orientation.
The counsellor presented scientific facts about leprosy which partly changed the outlook of the community people towards leprosy and
leprosy patients. At the same time, the project assured to build a low cost house for him. As a gesture of collaboration, the community
managed a piece of land. Thus, Suresh witnessed huge change in his life which he hardly dreamed of before. In the following months,
he reported that community people were taking care of him.
He received microcredit loan for goat rearing and spent his time in taking care of the goats. Suresh now, owns a house, is physically fit,
financially self-reliant and emotionally self-esteemed. Counselling has really made a huge difference in his life. He wishes to re-marry
now because he feels ready to take responsibilities. He is heartily thankful to the LLSC.

THE RESULTS - CIVIL SOCIETY
The civil society plays a crucial role in planning, implementation
and monitoring of development initiatives. Hence, they are
at the centre of IM programmes. The capacity building
initiatives to strengthening Jaluke Ghumaure Water Irrigation
& Consumer’s Organization (JGWICO) in Devchuli municipality
(earlier Pragatinagar VDC) of Nawalparasi district was probably
the first effort of IM to strengthen CSOs in Nepal. The support
from IM has increased JGWICO’s capacity in planning,
implementation, budgeting, advocacy and monitoring.
As a result of IM’s support in capacity building, JGWICO has
recently been able to receive NRs. 60,000 from Devchuli
municipality for canal renovation and plantation.
Similarly, a total of 1,449 families from JGWICO, Devchuli,
Nawalparasi have been organized into a loose network
through 29 small groups. They have worked as a model group
at the local level in order to raise their voices to the duty
bearers. What is worth mentioning is that most members
are women and their voices are heard clearer and louder to
influence gender issues.
through VDC for forestation. It has distributed 22,000 saplings
of various species to various groups, schools and nearby
community forests in 2014. The sapling distribution was aimed
at increasing fodder production to feed their livestock which
are raised for more milk and meat.
The members of the JGWICO are now invited to the
planning meetings by the municipality and they are one of
active players. Navadurga Community Forestry Users Group
(NDCFUG) during this reporting year has enjoyed IM’s funds
With a tiny amount of fund from the IM, local partners,
including local authorities, i.e. VDCs have been capacitated and
local CSOs are gradually following the rights-based approach
to development.

LESSONS FROM THE PAST
Past five years of IM’s work in remote settlements of Nepal
have given invaluable lessons apart from the achievements.
1. Local ownership and replication:
The experience from Devchuli municipality in the field of
organic farming suggests that people are willing to own
IM funded interventions. The results are inspiring and
neighboring villages continue asking for support. Hence, the
replication is highly expected. The network meetings with
the partners have proved to be an excellent forum to better
understand outcome and methodology in order to achieve
the result. It has to be taken into account for the future.
2. Collaboration for results:
Educational interventions reveal that qualitative changes
can be achieved in schools if the local authority and parents
get actively engaged in school management activities.
Although the workshops on reduction of corporal punishment
and bullying have brought positive response to create
better learning environment in schools, the teachers need
motivational environment to stop corporal punishment and
bullying and the parents need to be involved more.
Rights-based approach (RBA) a new concept:
With respect to RBA approach to development, it was
inevitably a priority during last strategic planning period of
2012-14, the partners faced difficulties to make a shift from
charity (needs) based approach to a rights-based approach
and required more attention to it. Capacity building of
partners and IM team on RBA is realized for bringing about
the sustained change in the community.

LOOKING AHEAD
communities, IM felt an absence of accountability among
the moral and legal duty bearers. Therefore, IM will promote
participation, transparency, non-discrimination and
accountability in its future activities. The authorities, as state
actors and IM’s partners will also be supported to promote
their transparency and accountability.
In Devchuli municipality of Nawalparasi with IM’s support,
women who, in general are denied access to decision
making process, have been creatively participating in the
project. Hence, gender mainstreaming in the projects and
environment and climate sustainability will be the key future
priorities.
People in a rally for promtion of organic farming in Nawalparasi
If we look back to the past, IM focused more on service
delivery approach to development. The learning directs us
to put forward an approach to sustainable development
through human rights-based approach (RBA). Hence, IM, as
envisaged in its strategic plan 2015-2017 will be partnering
with professional and long-term partners with an emphasis
on economic empowerment and right to education to drive
IM’s inclusion and anti-poverty crusade.
In order to fully address economic and educational concerns
of the boys, girls, men and women from marginalized
Pursuant to the Government’s clustering approach in
development initiatives, IM will follow clustering of working
districts which will help reduce administrative expenses. It will
replicate its best practices to the adjoining districts, including
Nawalparasi, Kapilvastu and Dang. So far, IM has had presence
from the southern plains to the high Himalayan districts.
With application of new strategies designed based on the
past learning will help to cope up with the challenges and to
achieve development goals IM envisaged.
In the next three years, IM will have long-term partnership
with selected CSOs and strengthen them through mentoring,
capacity building trainings on sustainable development,
rights-based approach, results based monitoring of project
interventions, communicating development results, managing
finances including their organizational development to make
them accountable CSOs.
The Social Welfare Council evaluation team comprised of two externals and two senior officials, including a representative
from the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare assessed the project progress in Nov-Dec 2014 in line with
set objectives and goals. The efficiency, effectiveness, institutionalization of the project among others were key
parameters to assess the performance of the projects. The team found project performance satisfactory and offered
some recommendations.
Although limitations and deviations cropped up in some cases, there are many instances where achievements have
exceeded expectations, and additional activities have also been undertaken by the project. The team has observed ‘IM
or SOIR-IM as a new and small INGO operating in Nepal has made some contribution to a small extent but has a good
value for the future.’ The shortcomings unearthed and recommendations made by in-house team and externals have
been taken into consideration while developing strategic plan for the year 2015-17. The implementation of 2015-2017
plan will help to promote quality of IM’s interventions.
