Abstract
Improving livelihoods security of socially-excluded communities in Nepal ILISSCON IA12900002NEP The objective of the project is to enhance livelihood security and socioeconomic status of vulnerable and socially excluded communities in conflict areas of western Nepal. Leasehold farming is the main activity of the project. The support activities are concentrated in and around leasehold farmer groups. These farmer groups are further supported to improve their capacities to effectively secure their participation at all level of project management. The project is closely working with District Development Committees and Village Development Committees, government line agencies and NGOs for better coordination and collaboration. The primary target beneficiaries are food insecure and socio-economically marginalised households (HHs) particularly, dalits, ethnic nationalities, women headed HHs and landless or HHs having 1-1.5 kaththas (500 sq metres) of land. The project will directly benefit 8,000 HHs and indirectly assist 12,000 HHs during the project period 2006 - 2010.
