Since the earthquake in 2015, HI Nepal has diversified its activities, focusing on health, rehabilitation and access to services, in particular inclusive livelihoods, inclusive education and livelihood recovery. The programme is currently running nine projects.
HI Nepal’s flagship project has always been rehabilitation. The aim of this project is to establish a sustainable, integrated, public-private rehabilitation system to improve the mobility and functional independence of people with disabilities.
Today, the portfolio of thematic areas has been broadened. The teams are notably developing their experience in the field of Inclusive Education in order to improve access, participation and achievement in education for excluded children, both in and out of school, with a specific focus on caste, disability, ethnicity and gender.
HI is also developing projects in economic inclusion, as well as in inclusive disaster risk reduction to increase the climate resilience of the most at-risk communities and groups, including people with disabilities, through inclusive, community-based adaptation and climate smart local governance in selected municipalities of Nepal.
