Abstract
Ganesh Bahadur Thapa is the most in-demand man in the village, wandering from door to door treating animals. Sometimes he gets dozens of calls, he hardly finds time for himself. His service as a barefoot is highly recognised and appreciated in and around his village. Thapa is content with life. He is able to send two of his kids to a school in Kathmandu. In the future, he hopes to learn artificial insemination, so that he will be able to offer more services to his clients and make more money. BICAS (Building Inclusive and Sustainable Growth Capacity of CSOs (civil society organisations) in Agriculture and Forest Sectors) project works with women, men and children living in the remote mid and far-western districts of Kalikot, Mugu, Jumla, Bajura and Bajhang. The project is supported by the European Union and focuses on building the capacity of 45 local organisations to promote inclusive and sustainable growth and increase the income of 7,000 households from agriculture and forest-based enterprises.
