PART2The Situation of Children and Women in Nepal


2.1. Nepal is a landlocked country with diverse ecology and culture. Half of its 26.5 million people live in the low lying southern terai plains, followed by 43 per cent in the middle Hills and 7 per cent in the northern Mountains.1 There are 126 caste and ethnic groups, and 123 languages are spoken as mother tongue. The largest groups include Chhetri (16.6 per cent), Hill Brahmin (12.2 per cent), Magar (7.1 per cent), Tharu (6.6 per cent), Tamang (5.8 per cent), Newar (5.0 per cent), Kami (4.8 per cent), Muslims (4.4 per cent), Yadav (4.0 per cent) and Rai (2.3 per cent). Hinduism (81.3 per cent) is the major religion followed by Buddhism (9 per cent), Islam (4.4 per cent), Kirat (3.1 percent) and Christianity (1.4 percent). Forty-two per cent of the population is under 18 years of age (24.2 per cent between 10-19 years), making investments in children and adolescents especially relevant in shaping national development.

2.2. Nepal has made rapid progress, as measured by the Human Development Index (HDI)—from 0.210 (1970) to 0.458 (2011). Legislation and initiatives promoting free education have raised net enrolment rates. Extension of primary health care has lowered the under-five mortality rate (U5MR) and the infant mortality rate. Nepal received the 2010 Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Award for reducing its maternal mortality ratio and will likely achieve all three micronutrient goals of A World Fit for Children (WFFC).

2.3. Nevertheless, Nepal ranks 157 out of 187 countries in the 2011 HDI. While overall poverty is decreasing, two thirds of its children are still deprived of at least one of seven basic needs. Nepal’s Gini coefficient of 0.352 (2011) remains amongst the highest in Asia.2 Nepal’s HDI would be a third higher than its present level had past progress been distributed more evenly across society.3 Inequity is especially evident in terms of geography, age, gender, ethnicity, language, education, HIV status, disability, and income. Three interdependent sets of factors underpin this inequity: “policy”, including the need for adequate governance, policy, legislation, and investment; “system”, including the need for more comprehensive, accessible and quality social services; and “societal”, including the need to address social norms and practices that impact access to and use of services or increase vulnerability.

2.4. Policy factors. Following the 2006 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and the April 2008 Constituency Assembly elections, Nepal continues to experience complex political transformation. After prolonged delay in the promulgation of the new Constitution, the major political parties made a significant breakthrough in the peace process by signing a landmark agreement on army integration, Constitution drafting and power sharing on 1 November 2011. The State Restructuring Commission was formed through political consensus, and political dialogue in constitutional committees gained momentum to solve remaining disagreements. The most important commitments of the CPA are expected to be reflected in the new Constitution making it perhaps the single most critical milestone in the country’s democratic transition. Political parties have shown flexibility in resolving several differences but three issues have proved contentious: the number of provinces in the new federal state; whether to have a presidential or a prime ministerial model of government; and the electoral system at local, provincial and federal levels. The uncertain political period, however, has delayed release of the national budget. Governance challenges, including strikes and violent acts orchestrated by politically affiliated groups, hinder progress particularly in the terai. Subnational bodies have operated without elected representatives for more than 10 years, hampering local administration and increasing fiduciary risks.4

2.5. The Universal Periodic Review recognizes the need for reforms of institutions and legislation to more effectively include the disadvantaged and fulfil commitments to children. Policies and National Plans of Action (NPAs) for children exist but would benefit from stronger inter-sectoral coordination and dedicated budgets. The Central Child Welfare Board, the Ministry of Women, Child and Social Welfare (MOWCSW), the Department of Women and Children, District Child Welfare Boards, District Women and Children Offices (DWCOs), District Development Committees (DDCs), and Village Development Committees (VDCs) all play a role in the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) but would benefit from additional resources and a clear, well-structured coordination system. While health and education budgets have been relatively stable despite the recent conflict (1996-2006) and global economic fluctuations, some vital areas such as nutrition, HIV prevention, adolescent development, and child protection require greater budget support. For example, even though 56 per cent of under-fives in the poorest quintile are stunted and tackling this problem offers very high returns on investment, nutrition’s share of the national budget is 0.1 per cent.

2.6. Legislative reviews identified 23 of 46 laws related to children in need of closer alignment to international standards and several pending pieces of legislation require significant strengthening with regard to children’s rights. Delay in enacting key legislation impedes reform. Nepal has established a National Human Rights Commission, a Child Rights Desk, a National Commission on Women, and a Dalit Commission to monitor and respond to human rights violations but there is limited public access to these bodies and their resources and capacities need strengthening.

2.7. An average of 1,000 lives and at least $43 million are lost annually to earthquakes, floods, landslides, and droughts (United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, 2011). Water- and drought-induced disasters are intensifying due to increased floods, melting glaciers, and shifting seasons. More investment is needed in disaster management mechanisms including humanitarian cluster coordination as well as to prepare for and to mitigate the impact of natural hazards and climate change.

DevelopmentCommittees(VDCs).


2.8. System factors. Eighty per cent of the wealthiest quintile has access to a health facility within 30 minutes’ walk, but only 50 per cent of the poorest quintile has such access.5 Thirty-six per cent of births are attended by a skilled health worker6; in the two lowest wealth quintiles skilled birth attendance is 18 per cent.7 Fifty-six per cent of Nepal’s children still lack access to a toilet of any kind, with rates of over 70 per cent in the more remote districts. Nepal’s poorest children are 24 times less likely to use improved sanitation facilities compared to the richest. Rural families are almost two times less likely to use improved sanitation facilities compared to urban families.8 One fifth of Nepal’s population is still without access to improved water; most are poor and reside in water stress areas (foothills, mountains and urban slums). National coverage of improved drinking water sources is 89 per cent, but over 41 per cent of these sources need major rehabilitation while 2 per cent are beyond repair.9 Only 38 per cent of births are registered; the figure is 31 per cent among the poorest.10 In 2010, only 11 per cent of pregnant women tested for HIV received their results, while 7 per cent of HIV positive pregnant women and 32 per cent of the HIV positive children received antiretroviral treatment.11

2.9. While the Ministry of Education (MOE) statistics show a Net Enrolment Rate of 95 per cent, household surveys suggest that as many as 22 per cent of the children are not enrolled in primary school.12 These children are largely from disadvantaged groups or living in districts with low access to education. Twenty-two per cent of children with disabilities aged 5-14 years have never been to school. Although gender parity in enrolment is now achieved at the national level, girls from remote districts, in the lowest income quintile, or from vulnerable population groups tend to drop out of school, especially in higher grades. The quality of the public education system is a concern. In 2011, only 45 per cent of grade 10 students from public/community schools passed the School Leaving Certificate examination. Unemployment rates are increasing for every age cohort of young people. Many take on insecure, hazardous jobs. Young women often experience imposed economic inactivity or are forced into subsistence activities.

2.10. Most child protection services are provided by local Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), many funded by External Development Partners, but are fragmented with great variations in quality and no oversight from the State. In general, these services tend to focus more on rescue, recovery and rehabilitation than on prevention. In the area of Justice for Children, specialised police services exist in all 75 districts and specialised courts in 32 districts but the capacity of these units is weak, and juvenile courts only serve children in conflict with the law, not children as victims and witnesses of crime. Measures for children in conflict with the law, to avoid contact with the justice system and detention, do not exist. Child protection data are limited. Multi-sector coordination between services, including between social welfare and justice for children, is lacking.

2.11. Societal factors. Challenging social norms and practices regarding children and adolescents persist in some parts of the country, most notably child labour, gender-based and sexual violence, trafficking, child marriage, violent discipline, and discrimination, for example, against third genders. Approximately 620,000 children aged 5-17 years are engaged in hazardous work.13 Some 13,000 girls are being sexually exploited in the Kathmandu Valley.14 In the Mid- and Far-Western Regions, 66 per cent of the poorest girls are married before the age of 18 years, while 9 per cent of all girls are married before the age of 14 years. In the same regions, 83 per cent of children aged 2-14 experience violent discipline, and one in every two girls encounters some form of discrimination during menstruation.15

2.12. The recent reduction in the national prevalence of stunting among the under-fives hides wide inequity with rates at least twice as high among the poorest quintile (56 per cent) compared the wealthiest quintile (26 per cent). Largely a result of inappropriate infant and child feeding practices, the consequences of stunting are profound, life-long and irreversible. Wasting is at 11 per cent (2011) compared with 13 per cent in 2006 but there are wide geographic variations – in the central and eastern terai, for example, it is as high as 20 per cent.16 Forty-six per cent of under five children are anaemic, but among children under two years of age anaemia is as high as 75 per cent.17

2.13. New poverty traps are emerging. The urban population has increased from 14 per cent (2001) to 17 per cent (2011). Urban centres are unable to accommodate such growth. U5MR among the poorest urban quintile is higher than the average rural U5MR. Limited economic opportunity has increased internal and overseas migration, especially among men, in turn dismantling household structures, overburdening girls and women, and increasing the risks of HIV infection and engagement in hazardous work. These emerging challenges are particularly acute in the Mid- and Far-Western Regions.

PART3Past Cooperation and Lessons Learned


Key Results Achieved

3.1. The following are the key results achieved during 2008-2012:

(a) Maternal, Newborn and Child Health. UNICEF has been an important partner in the health Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp), positively influencing equity-based investments in maternal, neonatal and child health by targeting poor performing districts in nationwide programmes such as immunization and by demonstrating the impact of field-based packages in remote areas. Immunisation coverage of children age 12-23 months with all vaccines has increased from 83 per cent in 2006 to 87 per cent in 2010; Diphtheria-Pertussis-Tetanus (DPT) 3 coverage reached over 90 per cent in 2011 and polio has not been reported since 2010. UNICEF assisted the scaling up of the Government’s Community-based Neonatal Care Package in 25 vulnerable districts and supported the revision and subsequent rollout of the Community-based Integrated Management of Childhood Illness package in nine districts. In 11 low performing districts, UNICEF assisted the Government to establish 24x7 delivery sites; access for the most vulnerable families has increased from 28 per cent (2010) to 32 per cent (2011).

(b) Nutrition. Recognizing that child nutrition is a national priority, the National Planning Commission, various Ministries, and other development partners were supported to develop the first-ever, fully-costed Multi-Sector Nutrition and Food Security Action Plan focused on interventions needed during the critical period of 1,000 days (from conception up to two years of age). The Plan was launched by the Prime Minister in September 2012. UNICEF’s support for iron intensification and salt iodization has contributed to intervention coverage levels upwards of 95 per cent; higher than any other country in South Asia. Over 90 per cent of 3.7 million children under 5 years were supplemented with Vitamin A through biannual campaigns with more than 12,000 children’s lives saved. Over 10 million sachets of Micronutrient Powder (MNP) have been distributed to over 66,000 children in six food scarce districts and other disadvantaged areas; with a coverage rate of more than 75 per cent and average compliance greater than 65 per cent. UNICEF supported the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP) to pilot the Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme in five districts to prevent and treat Severe Acute Malnutrition in children. The CMAM programme has over 90 per cent coverage, a recovery rate of 90 per cent, death rate of 0.5 per cent and a defaulter rate of 9 per cent – which is above the recommended Sphere Minimum Standards.

(c) Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). Moving away from individual projects managed by separate partners with differing standards, UNICEF support in WASH has resulted in greater sector harmonization, demonstrated by, for example: the first

National Hygiene and Sanitation Master Plan launched by the President of Nepal; the first large-scale public-private-partnership to promote hand-washing with soap; the first ever National Hygiene and Sanitation Master Plan; the first WASH Joint Sector Review based on a comprehensive WASH sector status review led by the Ministry of Physical Planning and Works (now Ministry of Urban Development). There has been an overall increase in sanitation coverage of 19 per cent – from 43 per cent (2008) to 62 per cent (2012).18 During the same period, in the remote districts of the Mid-Western Region sanitation coverage has increased by almost 20 per cent (from 30.7 to 50.3 per cent, benefitting close to 1 million people) due to the social movement “Aligning for action to make diarrhoea epidemics history” led by the Government with support from UNICEF. In the same remote districts, coverage of improved drinking water facilities has increased from 77 per cent (2008) to 81 per cent (2011); the national increase was from 80% (2008) to 89% (2011). Elsewhere, UNICEF supported Kaski, Chitwan and Tanahu to become the first Open Defecation Free (ODF) districts with several other municipalities and VDCs already achieving ODF status. UNICEF has also provided WASH cluster leadership to develop common preparedness plans and build emergency preparedness capacity at national and sub-national level.

(d) Education. UNICEF has been an important partner in the Education Sector-Wide Approach and was the focal point for the Development Partners in 2011. UNICEF supported the Government’s stronger focus on equity such as increased provision of female teachers, establishment of a Gender Focal Point at the Department of Education, and increased budget allocations for girls’ education and out-of-school children. UNICEF contributed to the design and implementation of the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) 2009-2015 School Sector Reform Plan (SSRP), and assisted the Ministry in the development of the Child-Friendly School (CFS) Framework and Minimum Standards for Quality Education. Child-friendly teaching in primary education grades in 1,200 schools in thirty UNICEF-supported districts has shown positive trends in school retention rates. UNICEF’s assistance in the School Sanitation and Hygiene Education (SSHE) initiative has led to increased allocation of resources for gender-sensitive school sanitation and hygiene facilities. The Government led the construction of 5,500 girls' latrines between 2010 and 2011 and with UNICEF direct support, 1,967 children, gender- and differently-abled friendly WASH facilities have been constructed. Annual Welcome-to-School campaigns backed by UNICEF have proved very successful. For example, the 2011 campaign enrolled 100 per cent of school-going children in school catchment areas in targeted districts in the Central Region. Strategic interventions and progress have been made to integrate peace, human rights and civic education in the national curriculum for grade 1-10. UNICEF successfully demonstrated the “Schools as Zones of Peace” (SZOP) intervention as a tool to promote peace-building and resilience of school communities to protect children’s right to education in areas where schools were affected by political interference. UNICEF also advocated for the Government to declare that all schools should be Zones of Peace which has led to increased school opening days and decreases in the usage of schools for purposes other than education. In UNICEF-supported districts, 744 schools are adhering to the code of conduct to ensure greater uninterrupted access to education for approximately 270,000 children. UNICEF has contributed to the establishment of 28,773 Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres (based in Communities and Public Schools) with net enrolment rates now at 73 per cent with gender parity (from 60 per cent in 2008). ECD Guidelines and Minimum Standards have also been developed and approved. Education Emergency Cluster capacity has been strengthened and contingency plans developed in 23

disaster-prone districts. The Government’s emergency capacity was effectively mobilized during the September 2011 Eastern Region earthquake response.

(e) HIV and AIDS. UNICEF support for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV has helped to reduce transmission from 17 per cent (2010) to 8 per cent (2011). In 22 sites in 19 high HIV-burden districts, UNICEF has supported pregnant women attending ANC to access PMTCT services—59 per cent received PMTCT compared to the national average of 11 per cent. To reach women not attending ANC, UNICEF supported community-based PMTCT in three very high HIV-burden districts reaching 68 per cent of all pregnant women. UNICEF also worked alongside the National Planning Commission to coordinate 9 Ministries, 5 other UN agencies, 3 International NGOs, 1 national NGO and the Consortium of NGOs on Child Rights in the development of Nepal’s first ever National Framework of Action for Adolescent Development and Participation which involved large-scale consultations with adolescents and was launched on the International Day of the Girl Child, 2012.

(f) Child Protection. Working closely with the Ministry of Peace and Reconciliation (MOPR), major political parties, and various UN agencies, UNICEF supported the successful reintegration of over 10,000 children associated with or affected by the conflict, scattered across 60 districts. This logistical challenge is being utilized to initiate a system addressing a wider range of child protection issues; a system further strengthened by the expansion of Paralegal Committees (PLCs)—a community-based mechanism to combat trafficking of girls and women, gender-based violence, and the abuse, exploitation of and violence against children—from 23 to 59 districts and a total of 1,027 PLCs that are empowering women and providing access to informal justice and moral support to victims.19 The MOWCSW has now embedded PLCs within its District Women and Children Service System. At national level, sustained advocacy efforts have resulted in important amendment proposals to bring the draft Children’s Bill, Criminal and Civil Codes in line with international standards as well as raised awareness on key child protection issues among high level officials. UNICEF’s support for Mine Risk Education (MRE), reaching two million children, has contributed to reductions in victim activated explosions. Nepal was declared minefield free in 2011 and the Mine Action Programme was transferred to Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction (MOPR) the same year.

(g) Child-Friendly Local Governance. In collaboration with the Government, UNICEF supported some of the most marginalized communities of Nepal through its rights-based Decentralized Action for Children and Women (DACAW) approach. Out of the 23 districts targeted during 2008-2012, five elevated their HDI and in 2010 no longer required UNICEF’s focused support. Four other districts have made significant HDI progress and will soon no longer require intensive UNICEF assistance. Learning from DACAW, UNICEF helped the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development (MOFALD) to develop a Child-Friendly Local Governance (CFLG) strategy, endorsed by Cabinet in 2011, as part of the Government’s broader Local Governance and Community Development Programme (LGCDP). CFLG facilitates prioritization of children’s rights in planning and budgeting, in particular directing national block grants worth over US$40 million per year to disadvantaged

children and women. The rollout of CFLG is well-underway in 34 districts and 14 municipalities. Enhancing CFLG’s expansion, the participation of children and young people in local governance structures has been facilitated by nationwide support to Child Clubs: 13,291 Child Clubs are now active in 52 districts (over 5,000 initiated with UNICEF assistance).

(h) Social Policy and Planning. UNICEF helped the Government to complete the Mid-Term Review of the NPA for Children with major revisions being made in line with the principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The Government’s Inter-Ministerial Steering Committees were supported by UNICEF to prepare and submit a combined Third, Fourth, and Fifth Periodic Report to the Committee on the Rights of the Child. UNICEF worked closely with the National Planning Commission (NPC) to produce the country’s first ever Child Poverty and Disparity Study (2010) based on 2006 Demographic Health Survey data and other information sources. The Study informed an updated equity-focused analysis for the Government’s Three Year Plan (2011-2013), contributed to the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare’s (MOWCSW) formulation of the first ever National Policy on Children, and was used extensively in the design of the 2013-2017 United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). Technical assistance was also provided to the Central Bureau of Statistics and NPC in completing the first ever sub-national Multiple-Indicator Survey (MICS4) in the Mid- and Far-Western Regions (published in 2012); data from which are being used by various Ministries. In an important step towards a national child benefit scheme, UNICEF helped the Government to introduce a Child Grant for poor Dalit families and all families in the Karnali Zone (targeting a total of 400,000 children aged less than five; coverage is over 90 per cent) who receive a small cash allowance of US$2.50 per month to encourage improved child nutrition. Birth registration is included in the scheme, with some localities achieving universal registration.

3.2. Multi-sectoral approaches. Policy formulation and implementation across development sectors need to be coordinated to ensure all dimensions of inequity are addressed comprehensively. Sector-wide approaches (SWAps) have enhanced coordination within sectors but inter-sectoral collaboration, especially at subnational level, requires strong investment. HIV and AIDS prevention, for example, is best implemented as a multi-sector approach and mainstreamed in health, nutrition, protection, education, adolescent development, and social policy. There is increasing recognition that the many of Nepal’s development challenges such as nutrition, water and sanitation, early childhood development, child and women’s protection, adolescent development and participation, and social protection demand well-coordinated multi-Ministry approaches. A good example of effective coordination has been between the WASH and Education sectors where local governments were enabled and more importantly, motivated to coordinate the promotion of hygiene and sanitation, both in schools and communities across whole districts in the Mid- and Far-Western Regions.

3.3. Integrated systems. Most of the children, adolescents and women being left out of Nepal’s progress are denied many of the same rights simultaneously. These deprivations diminish their potential to reach full capacity as adults, resulting in the transfer of the same deprivations to the next generation. Experience with DACAW and CFLG demonstrates that to address multiple disparities, integrated systems are needed that bind together different programmatic interventions in a coherent, mutually reinforcing manner. The expansion of PLCs, for example, shows that community-


based mechanisms can raise awareness, detect and report cases, and provide a response to simple cases, but complex cases require the involvement of the formal justice system and various social services including legal aid, counselling, temporary shelter, education and health. The rollout of CFLG offers tremendous opportunity to build capacity for child-centred integrated policy, planning, budgeting, system strengthening, and monitoring across development sectors.

3.4. Sustainability and quality. The rapid expansion of ECD centres, Child Clubs, and other structures originating from DACAW has sometimes come at the cost of sustainability and quality. Sustainability is enhanced when interventions are embedded into permanent structures (e.g., the integration of PMTCT into maternal and child health services) and when support is channelled through national systems (e.g., supporting District Education Plans rather than individual schools). All local and national child rights initiatives benefit from clear monitoring of quality standards. UNICEF has been successful in ensuring initiatives such as School-led Total Sanitation, Open Defecation Free districts and VDCs, establishing Paralegal Committees, Child-Friendly Schools, Child Grants and Schools as Zones of Peace have been incorporated into national policies. Public-private-partnerships (e.g. on Hand Washing with Soap and Water, establishment of an Immunization Fund) are valuable vehicles for sustainable expansion of key initiatives.

3.5. Investment in adolescents. There is global and local evidence that investing in adolescents, especially girls, can break the cycle of inter-generational poverty. Important experience has been gained on adolescent development and participation through initiatives such as HIV prevention, CFLG, alternative schooling, and rehabilitating children associated with the armed conflict. Given the many challenges confronting young people, UNICEF and partners must intensify the focus on adolescent girls and boys, including their need for civic engagement and sustainable socio-economic integration.

meCountry Programme Outcomes and Strategies

4.1. The overall goal of the 2013-2017 Country Programme is to directly address the three main sets of inequity factors (policy, system, societal) so that all children, adolescents and women have access to education, health care, nutrition, sanitation, hygiene, safe water, protection, information, and other services necessary to fulfill their rights to survival, development, protection and participation.

4.2. Contributing to the overall goal, the following three inter-related programme component results (PCRs), measured through qualitative and quantitative indicators and targets, are expected by the end of 2017:

(a) PCR 1: National policies, legislation, plans, budgets, coordination and monitoring mechanisms are enabling the survival, development, protection and participation rights of children, adolescents, and women, to be fulfilled with equity in all contexts, including humanitarian situations;

(b) PCR 2: In selected areas (the most disadvantaged districts and municipalities), social sector systems are providing integrated, quality services to fulfil the survival, development, protection and participation rights of children, adolescents and women with equity in all contexts, including humanitarian situations;

(c) PCR 3: In selected areas, children, adolescents, women and men, and all relevant duty-bearers are engaged in social change and action to realize the survival, development, protection and participation rights of children, adolescents and women with equity in all contexts, including humanitarian situations.

4.3. Under the overall leadership of UNICEF’s Representative, programmes will be coordinated by the Deputy Representative through matrix management since all contribute via 26 Intermediate Results or Outputs to the three PCRs in respective ways. PCR 1 reflects intensive policy reform work in the context of preparations for a new Constitution and anticipated state restructuring, and will build on efforts to support legislation and multi-sector policies that meet international human rights standards. PCR 1 will be guided by UNICEF’s Chief of Social Policy and Economic Analysis, supported by a multi-programme team of senior officers focused on national-level policy analysis, formulation, advocacy and support for implementation across development sectors to ensure all dimensions of inequity are addressed comprehensively. This PCR will require intensive collaboration with the National Planning Commission, Ministry of Finance, Parliamentarians, development partners including International Financial Institutions (IFIs), civil society organizations and


academic and research institutes, to understand and document issues on child poverty and disparities, social budgeting, social protection and pro-child public policy and legislative reforms.

4.4. The latter two PCRs will prioritize at least 15 districts (and their municipalities and VDCs) considered to be the most vulnerable through a newly designed Child Deprivation Index (CDI).20 Pending availability of funds, another set of disadvantaged districts and municipalities will be supported through selective programming within PCRs 2 and 3. Evidence of subnational impact will be fed back into national policy reform (PCR 1). PCR 2 will be directed by UNICEF’s Deputy Representative and will involve senior officers from all programmes and a new set of programme officers providing technical support at subnational level through UNICEF’s three Zonal Offices (located in Nepalgunj, Bharatpur, and Biratnagar). PCR 2 is focused on the strengthening of integrated social service systems that bind together different programmatic interventions in a coherent, mutually reinforcing manner. The Government’s Child-Friendly Local Governance Framework will be the organizing principle of this PCR. To ensure the organization’s strongest commitment to addressing child inequities, UNICEF will place or ensure frequent travel by professionals into these 15 prioritized districts, in addition to its current presence in three regional centres and in Kathmandu. The district presence is in line with the Government’s decentralization policy and is co-ordinated with other UN agencies for optimal cost-sharing. It will also enable UNICEF to accelerate the rollout of CFLG and to tailor interventions to the specific districts’ needs by providing technical assistance locally. Strengthened technical expertise for each vital sector has been established in each of the three regional offices.

4.5. PCR 3 addresses the major harmful social norms and practices affecting children, adolescents and women in Nepal. It will be overseen by UNICEF’s Chief of Communication and a strengthened Communication team at both national and Zonal Office levels. This team will lead the design, formulation, management, execution, monitoring and evaluation of a new Communication for Development (C4D) strategy to address social norms and practices. The team will also develop and manage a clear and inter-dependent external relations communication strategy and associated work plan to get children’s issues into the public domain and strengthen political will in support of UNICEF's mission and objectives.

4.6. Significant risks have been considered in developing the planned results and in selecting strategies. An Environmental Impact Assessment has been undertaken for all programmes and no negative environmental effects are expected. The following strategies will be operationalized in coordination with the Government:

(a) Capacity development. Capacities of children, adolescents, women, community leaders and networks, non-government and government staff will be further strengthened at subnational and national levels to improve the quality, reach, coordination, monitoring and use of social service systems and to strengthen policy design, implementation and review. Key capacity building initiatives delivered through coordinated efforts among United Nations partners will include HIV mainstreaming,

promotion of gender equality, and conflict-sensitive programming. Engagement in UNICEF will support the Government to generate compelling evidence on child and adolescent inequities (e.g. Nepal’s Child Poverty and Disparities Study (2010), the 2011 Nepal Living Standards Survey, the 2011 Demographic Health Survey, and other analyses including the UNDAF Country Analysis), and will strengthen the Government’s capacity to address these disparities through integrated planning, pro-child social budgeting, social protection and public policy reforms. Close attention will be paid to additional capacity-building for effective service delivery that will be required as national decisions are taken on state re-structuring;

(b) Effective advocacy. UNICEF advocacy will contribute to equity-focused social policies, in addition to influencing SWAps, preparation of the Constitution and other legislation, planning, and budgeting in favour of children, adolescents and women, particularly from vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. Advocacy will be enhanced through new data generation and analysis, especially on adolescent girls, urban children and children living with disabilities. UNICEF will assist the Government in monitoring and addressing various determinants of inequity (‘bottlenecks’) within systems, services and practices (focusing on the 15 priority districts), in a timely and systematic way, in order to advocate for more effective policies, plans, budgets, and programmes. UNICEF, alongside other UN agencies, will facilitate the participation of Government ministries, development partners, local authorities, NGOs, civil society organizations, communities, and vulnerable populations in bottleneck analysis and monitoring;

(c) Strategic partnerships. UNICEF will continue to work closely with the Government at all levels and complement this by convening partners from the United Nations system, bilateral and multilateral organizations, civil society, academia, national training institutions, youth networks, local body associations, media, and the private sector;

(d) Knowledge management. Government and UNICEF knowledge systems will be strengthened to influence policy and programme management. UNICEF will continue to support the Government in the exchange of innovations and lessons learned across Nepal’s regions as well as through the membership of Nepal in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation and through global exchanges, including South-South cooperation;

(e) Communication for Development (C4D). While legal reform in favour of children’s rights requires support, UNICEF must also work more intensively with the Government and NGOs to promote social and behaviour change among children, families, communities, and a range of duty-bearers including political parties, media, and employers. Good experience has been gained through, for example, mobilizing Child Clubs, strengthening Paralegal Committees, training Female Community Health Volunteers, Citizen Awareness Centres, Ward Citizen Forums, and Social Mobilizers, and engaging with the private sector to take affirmative action, but much greater investment and programming at scale in C4D is now required if positive social norms as well as better utilization of available services and interventions are to be achieved. UNICEF will remain a pioneer in the creative use of C4D in support of programmes using community resources, films, cartoons, radio, television, entertainment, education, interpersonal communication, and information communication technology, including SMS, Twitter and Facebook;

(f) Urbanization, disaster risks, and climate change. While primacy will continue to be given supporting the Government to address the rights of most vulnerable groups living in rural areas, attention will also be paid to urban inequity issues, particularly urban child survival, adolescent development, WASH, and protection. There will


be stronger engagement in disaster risk management rather than just emergency preparedness. The Country Office has supported the Government to map child-centred disaster risks in order to prioritize districts and municipalities, and will, to the extent possible, strengthen government policy and community knowledge on disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change and adaptation (CCA).

Relationship to National Priorities and UNDAF

4.7. The Comprehensive Peace Accord, the Interim Constitution of Nepal (2007), the Common Minimum Programme of the Coalition Government, the NPA for Children (2004/5-2014/15), the national Three Year Plan (2011-2013), together with sector-specific and multi-sectoral plans and policies, have been considered as the basis for the Country Programme. The Country Programme will help the Government to achieve all its child-related MDG targets with equity and to address issues beyond the Goals. The Country Programme links to the Nepal Peace and Development Strategy (2010-2015) and 7 out of 11 UNDAF Outcomes described in the Results and Resources Framework.

Relationship to International Priorities

4.8. The Country Programme will contribute to the Government’s efforts to: implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocols as well as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women; follow up on the recommendations made by the Committee on the Rights of the Child and the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, and the Human Rights Council, on Nepal’s Universal Periodic Review; comply with Security Council resolutions 1612, 1325, 1820, 1882, 1888, 1960, and 1998; fulfill its commitment to the Millennium Declaration; and to achieve the WFFC goals. The Country Programme is also aligned with the UNICEF Medium Term Strategic Plan (MTSP) 2006-2013.

Programme Results (PCRs and Intermediate Results)

ProgrammesHealth and Nutrition

4.9. The Health and Nutrition Programme aims to improve equity in maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health, nutrition and HIV prevention and treatment outcomes in accordance with national health, nutrition and HIV plans and policies. The programme contributes to UNDAF Outcome 1 – vulnerable and disadvantaged groups get improved access to essential social services and programmes in an equitable manner. UNICEF’s Health Team will continue to work closely with the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP), the National Planning Commission, External Development Partners and with all UNICEF Teams to achieve optimum results for children, adolescent boys and girls, and women. UNICEF’s nutrition-related results have been designed on the basis of joint UN initiatives as reflected in UNDAF Outcome 1, the global initiative of Renewed Efforts Against Child Hunger (REACH), the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) initiative, and the national Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Plan (MSNP), the aim being to contribute to reduce stunting among under-five children by one third; the current level stands at 41 per cent.

4.10. IR 1.1: By 2017, national and subnational health related policies and strategies address equity in maternal newborn, child and adolescent health including HIV outcomes with continuum of care (contributes to UNDAF Output 1.2). Under this IR, UNICEF will continue to work closely with the Ministry of Health and Population and External Development Partners on the Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) to ensure equitable distribution and utilization of resources for maternal, neonatal, child and

adolescent health outcomes. UNICEF will provide technical assistance for the revision of the National Health Policy to promote universal coverage with equity and gender-focused high impact maternal, neonatal, child and adolescent health interventions in all contexts including humanitarian situations. The revision of the national health policy will be built on small, carefully planned steps in accordance with the current state-building process. Furthermore, technical assistance will be provided for the development of national strategies for sustaining elimination of Maternal Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) and reducing neonatal mortality, development of Multi-Year Plans for Community-Based Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (CBIMCI) and the Community-Based Newborn Care Package (CBNCP), and the expansion of PMTCT and pediatric HIV and AIDS services. Technical assistance will be provided to mainstream HIV and AIDS services in different sectors as outlined in the sectoral guidelines for mainstreaming. Advocacy will be provided for the endorsement of the Immunization Act and the Safe Motherhood Bill. Using District Investment Cases (DIC), planning for equity and the continuum of care will be strengthened in the 15 targeted districts and used as an advocacy tool for multi-year strategic planning and improved resource allocation in other districts.

4.11. IR 1.2: By 2017, the Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Plan, targeting the most vulnerable newborn, infant and young children, adolescents, especially girls, pregnant and lactating women, HIV affected children and women, and children and women with disabilities, has political commitment and sectoral budget allocation (contributes to UNDAF Output 1.5). UNICEF will support the National Planning Commission (NPC) and the relevant Ministries in close collaboration with other key development partners to update national nutrition policies, strategies and plans of action, strengthen human resources capacity, and enhance information systems on Maternal and Young Child Nutrition and Early Child Development (ECD) in all contexts including humanitarian situations. UNICEF will support the NPC, relevant ministries and partners to undertake advocacy events at key levels – national and district (the most vulnerable districts), and VDC to increase political commitment, including increased budget allocation for nutrition especially targeting newborn, infant and young children, adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and HIV affected and disabled children and women. In line with the MSNP, the Global SUN and REACH initiatives, maternal, infant and young child nutrition (MIYCN) strategy will be developed and implemented in the most vulnerable districts of the country. UNICEF will support the NPC and relevant ministries to develop and implement a Multi-Sector Nutrition Information System (MSNIS) in line with MSNP and linked to District Poverty Monitoring and Analysis System (DPMAS) and other District Management Information Systems (DMIS).

4.12. IR 2.1: By 2017, selected district and municipal health systems are able to provide quality, gender-sensitive and equitable maternal, neonatal, child and adolescent health and HIV services (contributes to UNDAF Output 1.3). This IR will strengthen the capacity of targeted district health systems to provide improved equitable maternal, neonatal, child, adolescent and HIV services within the CFLG framework. Focus will be placed on increasing access to community- and facility-based quality maternal health, newborn care, immunization, IMCI, PMTCT, and pediatric HIV and AIDS services. With technical support from UNICEF’s Child Protection Team, the Health Team will help to ensure that health personnel can detect, report, refer and treat in a sensitive manner children and adolescents who are victims of abuse or neglect, provide medical certifications for access to justice, report abandoned newborns to competent authorities, and support birth registration. This will be gradually achieved through the incorporation of child abuse reduction

strategies in national health policies, health personnel training curricula, and health information management systems. Close collaboration with other UNICEF teams and partners will be essential to achieve synergies at the family and community levels.

4.13. IR 2.2: By 2017, access to and utilization of essential nutrition services increased targeting newborn, infant, young children, adolescents, pregnant and lactating women, HIV affected children and women, and children and women with disabilities (contributes to UNDAF Output 1.6). UNICEF will continue support the MOHP, District Public Health Offices and implementing partners at national and sub-national levels to enhance access to and utilization of essential micronutrient services21 in the most vulnerable districts and municipalities with low coverage and compliance. The human resource capacity in the most vulnerable districts and municipalities will be strengthened to provide child-centered and gender-sensitive nutrition services through strengthened local governance structures and systems, including community-based mechanisms and strengthened district nutrition information and management systems. Furthermore, the NPC and MOFALD, within the CFLG framework, will be supported to model the MSNP in selected districts with a focus on delivering core essential nutrition services and stimulation at scale during the first 1,000 days of life. UNICEF will also support coordination with other non-health sectors to tackle the underlying causes of malnutrition such as increasing access to safe water and sanitation and promoting diversified food production and consumption as indicated in the CFLG framework. UNICEF will provide technical and financial assistance to MOHP and implementing partners to plan, design, model and scale up evidence-based Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM)22 for under-five years children. Other behavioural interventions associated with nutrition will also be supported including Vitamin A Supplementation (VAS) among 6-11 months children, Micronutrient Powder (MNP) distribution, iron folic acid (IFA) for 15-19 years adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women, and the Iodized Salt Social Mobilization Campaign. Promotion of micronutrients – Vitamin A, IFA and Iodized Salt – for adolescent girls (school-based and out-of-school) will be conducted through parental education and the MOHP’s school health and nutrition programme aligning with CFLG and the MSNP.

4.14. IR 3.1: By 2017, in selected districts and municipalities, families, especially the most vulnerable, practice promotive and preventive health behaviours including reduced harmful social practices that affect girls and boys with active involvement of male, family and community members (contributes to UNDAF Output 1.4). UNICEF will work with partners to strengthen the communication capacity of Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHV) and health staff at national and district level as well as families, communities and other relevant partners, to introduce, encourage and maintain positive behaviour changes. Special emphasis will be placed on the promotion of essential newborn care practices, attendance of deliveries by Skilled Birth Attendants (SBA), the importance of immunization, and management of pneumonia and diarrhoea, as well as increasing knowledge of HIV prevention among adolescents and pregnant women. While national in scope, the IR will be particularly intensive in the 15 targeted districts.

4.15. IR 3.2: By 2017, in selected districts and municipalities, families, especially the most vulnerable, practice essential maternal, adolescent, newborn, infant and young child feeding and early stimulation, hygiene and sanitation, with active involvement of male, family and community members (contributes to UNDAF Output 1.7). UNICEF will support the MOHP, Department of Health Services, District Public/Health Offices and key implementing partners at the national and sub-national levels, including the 15 targeted districts, to improve the nutrition situation of newborns, infants, young children, adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and HIV affected and disabled children and women through building community resilience to take self-actions on infant and child feeding, care, and early stimulation of the children 6-23 months age, alongside other behavioural interventions associated with hygiene and health through the Public-Private-Partnership on hand washing with soap and water supported by the WASH Programme. The interventions will be in line with integrated Maternal, Infant, and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) Communication framework, Maternal and Child Health Communication Strategy and the multi-sector nutrition advocacy and communication strategy focusing on the first 1,000 days.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

4.16. The WASH Programme contributes to reaching the Government’s target of universal coverage of water and sanitation by 2017 and to UNDAF Outcome 1 – vulnerable and disadvantaged groups get improved access to essential social services and programmes in an equitable manner. UNICEF will collaborate with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to support the implementation of the NPC-led MDG Acceleration Framework focused on MDG 7 Target C (sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation).

4.17. IR 1.3: By 2017, a National WASH programme and finance strategy are formulated, approved and regularly monitored to improve equitable access, gender sensitivity, sustainability, and efficiency of the sector (UNDAF Output 1.8). UNICEF will work together with the Ministry of Urban Development and all sector partners to reach the national target of universal coverage by 2017 in line with Joint Sector Review (JSR) recommendations for consolidating and further accelerating what has been achieved to date. The following investment priorities for the WASH sector have been identified and will be supported by UNICEF: (1) Open defecation must be controlled and hand-washing with soap and water must be made universal; (2) Services must become functional and service levels must be improved; (3) Water quality must be monitored and improved and household water treatment promoted. UNICEF will also work for stronger integration of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) into WASH sector programming. At national and policy levels UNICEF will support the Government in strategy development and implementation for better water governance, risk informed planning, designs and implementation as well as support better understanding of the risks and vulnerabilities and possible climate change adaptation and risk reductions strategies through sectoral assessments.

4.18. IR 2.3: By 2017, people living in selected districts, VDCs and municipalities (including schools and vulnerable communities) increasingly stop open defecation and utilize and participate in managing safe and sustainable, gender- and disability-friendly sanitation facilities and functional water supply facilities (contributes to UNDAF 1.9). UNICEF will support all 15 targeted Districts while also completing ongoing commitments in other districts and focusing on areas where other partners are not working. In targeted districts and municipalities, the

capacities of communities (with a particular focus on schools) will be strengthened to utilize and participate in the management of safe and sustainable drinking water and sanitation facilities. The sanitation movement will be complemented with support to local private sector through the sanitation marketing programme which strengthens the local businesses for enhanced sanitation demand creation and better availability of desirable products from local markets. To further strengthen water and sanitation systems, the WASH programme will work together with the education sector (IRs 1.4, 2.4, 2.5, 3.3) to ensure installation and proper management and maintenance of inclusive WASH facilities for girls and disabled children in schools and ECD centres as well as to ensure life skills based hygiene education in schools (based on the MOHP’s Fit-for-School concept), ECD centres, and non-formal education settings through the active involvement of Child Clubs. All the WASH in schools interventions will be supported under the CFS Initiative to help achieve the minimum enabling environment for child-friendly schools. The WASH programme will also work with the health sector and local government bodies to ensure proper WASH facilities in health centres and other public buildings. Actions within this IR are focused according to sectoral priorities:

(a) Hygiene and Sanitation: UNICEF will provide technical support to the Open Defecation Free (ODF) movement at regional and local levels (“Aligning for Action to make diarrhea epidemics history”) including multi-sectoral joint planning and implementation (particularly with health and education) within the overall framework of CFLG. UNICEF will also support multi-sectoral consensus building through strengthening the capacity of WASH coordination committees at all levels, progress and impact monitoring, and supporting action research. UNICEF will provide technical assistance in sanitation marketing – strengthening local private sector engagement in sanitation services and expanding the Public-Private-Partnership on hand washing with soap and water (IR 3.2).

(b) Functionality: UNICEF will support the expansion of the ODF movement to include minor repairs and improved operation and maintenance of water and sanitation infrastructure, as well as build the capacity of Water and Sanitation User Committees and support to the implementation of the Government’s directives on the operation of Drinking Water Services.

(c) Water quality: UNICEF will support the further development of water quality standards and District water safety plans and their implementation. UNICEF will also provide technical assistance to increase Safe Water options in schools and point-of-use (PoU) water treatment options in communities as part of disaster risk reduction efforts.

4.19. In the context of urbanization and recognition of problems in urban WASH, under this IR, UNICEF will support hygiene and sanitation in poor urban settlements through: (1) institutional capacity building to municipal departments and community-based initiatives in urban centres; (2) targeted advocacy and support for consensus building among political and administrative decision makers in municipalities; and (3) complementary support to Government programmes such as the Small Towns project to stimulate innovation and ensure equitable service delivery in coordination with CFLG structures.

4.20. In the context of DRR and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA), the WASH programme will work to strengthen water governance at all levels for management of water resources and source disputes, risk informed planning and implementation, improving functionality and capacity building, and awareness raising at all levels for preserving and effectively using the water resources.


4.21. Within PCR 3 (social and behavioural change), the WASH programme will continue working with the health and nutrition sectors (IR 3.1 and IR 3.2) and the private sector on behaviours related to safe water use, hygiene including hand washing with soap and menstrual hygiene for adolescent girls, and sanitation to prevent diarrhoeal diseases and to contribute to improving the nutrition status of children. The WASH programme will coordinate partner support to the hygiene and sanitation movement in line with the National Multi-Sectoral Plan on Nutrition. A stronger cooperation with child protection partners will ensure that access to water and sanitation facilities, especially adolescent girls and women, is safe.

Education

4.22. The Education Programme will contribute to the realization of the Government’s national education development plan, with the aim to improving children’s and adolescents’ access to and completion of basic and secondary education, with a special focus on the most vulnerable children and adolescents. Special attention and support will be paid to the most marginalized children and adolescents where alternative models will be explored for both formal and non-formal education. The programme contributes to UNDAF Outcome 1 – vulnerable and disadvantaged groups get improved access to essential social services and programmes in an equitable manner. More specifically, it will contribute to UNDAF Output 1.1: the Ministry of Education (MOE) and its institutions achieve higher performance in early childhood care and education (ECCE), formal and non-formal education in line with the School Sector Reform Plan (SSRP).

4.23. IR 1.4: By 2017, national level education policies and strategies demonstrate greater gender and social equity (contributes to UNDAF Output 1.1). UNICEF will contribute to making national education policies and strategies more equity-oriented and risk informed. The focus will be to support the MOE to develop and implement a comprehensive equity strategy to improve educational access and completion among vulnerable populations. Building on existing positive government measures such as the provision of scholarships for girls and disadvantaged children as well as free textbooks for all children, UNICEF will provide technical support to further improve equity-oriented strategies and their implementation. Aspects such as gender, socio-economic disparities, geography, language, disability, ethnicity, and HIV and AIDS will be considered. UNICEF will also support the MOE to increase collaboration with other Ministries, notably in using the CFLG framework more strategically to improve educational access and quality. Strengthening the Education Sector’s evidence-base as well as advocacy and communication based on this evidence will be essential. With technical support from UNICEF’s Child Protection Team, interventions to prevent child abuse, violence and exploitation will be incorporated into national education policies, in particular in the National Framework of Child-Friendly School Strategy for Quality Education, ECD and Non-Formal Education (NFE) facilitator and teacher training curricula, ECD parental education, and ECD, NFE and school curricula. Support to mainstream Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in the national education plans will be pursued, focusing on allocation of resources, integration of DRR in the national curricula, teacher training and exploring linkages with other sectorial ministries to holistically address issues of children and adolescents within DRM. Capacity strengthening as well as expansion of partnerships beyond current partners (e.g. NGOs, civil societies and municipalities) will be used as key strategies for this IR.

4.24. IR 2.4: By 2017, in selected districts and municipalities, young children (up to 5 years), especially the most vulnerable, have increased access to holistic developmental opportunities for improved school readiness (contributes to UNDAF Output 1.1). Capitalising on the country’s success in expanding children’s access to pre-primary education, targeted districts will receive support to further strengthen their service provision capacity for ECD. Mapping of ECD centres in collaboration with local bodies will be used to ensure that the most vulnerable communities (including marginalized ethnic groups, children with disabilities and children affected by HIV) are served. Reflecting results of ongoing bottleneck analysis, District Education Offices (DEOs) and local stakeholders’ capacity to provide quality early learning will be strengthened, including the improvement of convergence with other sectors such as health, nutrition, WASH, and child protection within the CFLG framework. The expansion of parental education in order to strengthen knowledge and capacities of parents notably those of vulnerable communities, will be another main focus. Male participation will be promoted in order to support men in taking more caretaking responsibilities.

4.25. IR 2.5: By 2017, in selected districts and municipalities, children particularly girls and marginalized children, have increased access to and complete uninterrupted child-friendly basic and secondary education (contributes to UNDAF Output 1.1). In targeted districts, support will be provided to local education stakeholders to ensure children, particularly girls and children from vulnerable communities, have increased access to and complete child friendly basic and secondary education. With a sharpened equity focus, UNICEF will support districts and schools to strengthen their service delivery capacities through implementing strategies specifically aimed at improving educational access, retention and completion taking into account issues such as geography, seasonality, language, disability, ethnicity, socio-economic disparities, religion, and so on. Districts and schools will also be supported to improve the quality of education by addressing various components of the Child-Friendly Schools Framework. Furthermore, education stakeholder capacities will be reinforced in order to improve protection aspects in schools and communities including teachers to create a protective learning environment and also to detect and refer child cases to relevant authorities as well as children’s participation in school management. Likewise, within the CFS framework, local education systems will be supported to promote HIV prevention and good hygiene practices. With the new focus on higher levels of education, targeted districts and schools will receive support to develop and expand measures to improve schooling by making schools more adolescent-friendly. UNICEF will aim to reduce dropouts among adolescent girls thereby improve the low girl-to-boy ratio in higher grades, including organizing activities to empower girls, in close coordination with UNICEF’s Adolescent Development and Participation (ADAP) and Child Protection Teams (IR 3.4 and IR 3.5).

4.26. Under this IR, UNICEF will also collaborate with the Government, civil society and the media to advocate for children’s uninterrupted right to education by strengthening institutional capacity at both the national and district levels to disseminate and implement the Schools as Zones of Peace national framework. UNICEF will continue to strengthen the national response capacity for education in emergencies. Understanding education’s instrumental role in building children, families and communities’ knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to prepare for and cope with disaster as well as enhancing their resilience, UNICEF will intensively support the Government and partners in priority districts to develop and strengthen children and local stakeholders’ knowledge and capacities on Disaster Risk Management.


4.27. IR 3.3: By 2017, in selected districts and municipalities, parents and stakeholders support quality alternative learning opportunities for out-of-school girls and boys, and improve education attendance and retention of girls and boys, from early childhood to adolescence (contributes to UNDAF Output 1.1). In order to determine how to expand access to alternative learning opportunities for out-of-school children (OOSC), UNICEF will collaborate with the Government and civil society to conduct a mapping exercise of OOSC. Based on the findings, different alternative education interventions tailored to the needs of different target groups (such as different age groups, adolescent girls and boys, working children) will be piloted in collaboration with UNICEF’s ADAP and Child Protection Teams, so that an increased number of OOSC have access to education through different formal and non-formal institutions (including religious institutions). Linkages with livelihood improvement opportunities including financial literacy and vocational training will be explored. In partnership with UNESCO, support will be provided to the Government to review the non-formal education policy, with a special focus on OOSC. This IR will also focus on enhancing social norms to improve access and retention in education by raising parental awareness on the importance of education from early childhood through pre-primary to grade 8. UNICEF will work together with institutional partners, communities and the media to address corporal punishment and violence, discrimination against disability, gender stereotypes, chhaupadi / menstruation hygiene management, ethnicity-based discrimination, child marriage, and child labour.

Adolescent Development and Participation

4.28. The Government’s recently launched National Framework of Action for Adolescent Development and Participation provides the platform for UNICEF’s new Adolescent Development and Participation (ADAP) Programme that aims to ensure the systematic, ethical, meaningful and regular participation of adolescents at critical levels to make national policies, plans, and budgets adolescent-sensitive. The ADAP programme contributes to: UNDAF Outcome 1 – vulnerable and disadvantaged groups get improved access to basic essential social services and programmes in an equitable manner; and UNDAF Outcome 3 – vulnerable groups experience greater self-confidence, respect and dignity. ADAP aims to empower adolescents, especially girls, to initiate and sustain activities and interventions that create positive transformation in their families, communities and society and bring about realization of their rights. Three key strategies include: (1) ensuring active and meaningful participation of adolescents, especially girls and the younger age group (10-14 years), at every stage of the programme; (2) ensuring that core interventions address the age, sex, and situational diversity among adolescents, specifically those who are most-at-risk and especially vulnerable to HIV and different forms of violence; and (3) generating and sharing evidence including participatory behavioural monitoring and district level bottleneck analysis.

4.29. IR 1.5: By 2017, the enabling environment including governance system strengthened to protect, inform and empower adolescent boys and girls to claim their rights and provides opportunities for their participation (contributes to UNDAF Output 3.3). ADAP will actively support government to spearhead the process of further developing and implementing the national framework on holistic adolescent development and participation as well as better coordination mechanisms for the adolescent development related work in Nepal. The Programme will support Government to revise policies and strategies to uphold adolescent survival, development, protection and participation rights in line with global guidelines and best practices, adapted to the Nepal context. ADAP will make special efforts to build

capacities of disadvantaged and marginalized adolescents, especially girls, to make sure their voices are heard and their concerns addressed. UNICEF will promote systematic disaggregated data collection and social research to generate knowledge (especially on adolescents aged 10-14 years) for evidence-based programming through qualitative and quantitative data and information.

4.30. In the area of system strengthening (PCR 2), the focus of the Programme will be to enhance national policy implementation and to improve adolescent friendly standards, protocols and guidelines as well as capacities of service providers. This will be done specifically with health and nutrition, education, child protection, social protection, local governance, WASH and emergency to establish efficient, effective and adolescent friendly referral systems within and across sectoral services. This result area will be essentially led by other UNICEF Teams and their partners with technical support from ADAP to ensure relevant services and systems are adolescent friendly and/or sensitive. This will also contribute to institutionalizing meaningful and ethical participation of adolescents, especially girls, in relevant sectors.

4.31. IR 3.4: By 2017, in selected districts and municipalities, adolescent girls and boys are applying age, sex, and issue appropriate life skills to influence decisions that affect their development (contributes to UNDAF Output 3.1). In the fifteen selected districts, UNICEF will contribute to initiatives that equip adolescents with knowledge, social and financial skills to enhance their opportunities to pursue livelihoods and employment as well as civic engagement. As recommended by adolescents themselves, sports and recreation will be integrated into these skill building interventions. With technical support from UNICEF’s Child Protection Team, the ADAP Programme will incorporate protection in life skills education for adolescents, and will ensure linkages with referral mechanisms established under the child protection system to ensure access to relevant services and livelihood interventions. With support from UNICEF’s Health Team, the ADAP programme will ensure linkage with PMTCT services for adolescents, specifically those who are most at risk and especially vulnerable. Child and Youth Clubs will be trained to raise awareness, detect and report child and adolescent protection cases and to promote child and adolescent protection in local planning and other decision-making processes.

4.32. IR 3.6: By 2017, in selected districts and municipalities, public opinion, media, community networks, employers, government institutions, religious organizations, local political leaders and families address harmful social norms and practices affecting the rights of children, adolescents, especially girls, and women (contributes to UNDAF Output 3.4). ADAP aims to capacitate family, community and subnational level duty bearers including the media, employers, government staff, religious organizations, and local political leaders to address social norms and practices affecting the rights of children, adolescents and women. This will ensure a supportive and enabling environment at the family and community level for adolescent girls and boys. Multi-media such as interpersonal communication, social and mass media such as radio, SMS, social media, TV and popular media including street theatre will be used to create a broader movement for and with adolescents.


Child Protection

4.33. The overall goal of the Child Protection Programme is to support the Government in the development and implementation of a comprehensive age and gender sensitive protection system to prevent and respond to all forms of abuse, neglect and exploitation of children and adolescents in normal and emergency situations. The system will provide for the implementation of communication for behaviour and social change targeting all children and families, early intervention with children at risk and their families, and rehabilitative services for children in harmful situations. Within the framework of the Children’s Act (1992) and the Guidelines for Programmes on Protection and Promotion of the Rights of the Child (2009), this Programme will contribute to the implementation of the National Plan of Action for Children (2004/5-2014/15) and the Child Policy (2012) as well as issue-based child protection Acts, Regulations, Guidelines, Frameworks, Strategies, Standards and National Plans. The Child Protection Programme contributes to: UNDAF Outcome 1 – vulnerable and disadvantaged groups get improved access to basic essential social services and programmes in an equitable manner; UNDAF Outcome 3 – vulnerable groups experience greater self-confidence, respect and dignity; and UNDAF Outcome 4 – vulnerable groups benefit from strengthened legal and policy frameworks, and have improved access to security and rule-of-law institutions.

4.34. IR 1.6: By 2017, a national system to protect children and adolescents, especially girls, from abuse, neglect and exploitation is incorporated in legislation and policies, planned, resourced, monitored, documented and coordinated across sectors and actors at national and local level (contributes to UNDAF Output 4.1). At national level, UNICEF will provide technical support to the Government to ensure that child protection is adequately addressed in relevant legislation, policies, plans and budgets in the areas of social welfare, security, justice, education, health, HIV, labour, social protection, local governance, disaster risk reduction, and emergency preparedness. UNICEF will support the Government in the coordinated development, implementation and monitoring of a multi-sector, multi-actor National Child Protection Implementation Plan with specific activities, targets, indicators and budgets, and will assist this Plan’s integration into subnational plans.

4.35. The Programme will ensure the incorporation of child protection indicators in national household surveys and existing information management systems (IR 1.7). UNICEF will also promote and support the establishment/strengthening of child protection information management systems comprising case records of social welfare services, police, courts and attorneys’ offices, as well as services available, at national and local level. Knowledge, attitude, practice and behaviour (KAPB) surveys as well as other research studies in areas where critical information is missing will also be conducted.

4.36. IR 2.6: By 2017, in selected districts and municipalities, children and adolescents at risk or victims of abuse, neglect and exploitation, children affected by conflict and by AIDS, and children with disabilities benefit from quality social welfare services which address the specific needs of boys and girls (UNDAF Output 1.11). At the local level, UNICEF will help the Government to build a social welfare system for children that is in line with national priorities and supported by non-state actors, including NGOs and community-based organizations. Child-friendly prevention, response, rehabilitation and reintegration services including family support services, front-line case management, family-

based alternative care, and emergency and long-term rehabilitative services such as hotlines, shelters, and socio-medical-legal services will be delivered through partnerships with specialized civil society organizations. The capacity of State actors to take alternative care and protection measures23, receive, record and oversee the management of cases, accredit and monitor services, and lead inter-sectoral and inter-institutional coordination with key actors of the social, security and justice sectors (linked to IR 2.7) will be enhanced. Particular attention will be placed on ensuring that conflict sensitivity is taken into account through transparent information about eligibility criteria for service provision and involvement of communities in validating the selection of needy children and families. Strategies for disaster risk reduction, especially in the most vulnerable districts will also be streamlined across the sector. Technical assistance will be provided to the MOWCSW to implement key standard setting initiatives including: the definition of roles and mandates of district level protection authorities; the development of in-service training on protection for state and non-state actors personnel; and the establishment of appropriate regulations and guidelines for case management, and accreditation and monitoring of services for children in need of care and protection. At the same time, the Programme will contribute to the professionalization and use of social work through partnerships with training and academic institutions.

4.37. IR 2.7: By 2017, in selected districts and municipalities, children and adolescents who are victims, witnesses, offenders or who are in contact with the law for any other reason, have access to child- and gender-sensitive formal justice (contributes to UNDAF Output 4.2). At local level, UNICEF will strengthen Police Women and Children Service Centres, Court Juvenile Benches, Public Prosecutors’ Offices and Legal Aid Committees, Child Reform Homes where they exist, One Stop Crisis Management Centres, and District Juvenile Justice Coordinating Committees, through capacity building of personnel and support for implementation of child-sensitive justice. In particular, UNICEF will provide equipment for child-friendly rooms in police and courts and co-fund legal aid, medical care, age verification and social inquiries for both child victims and offenders to demonstrate the value of such mechanisms and promote their establishment in other districts. The Programme will also support monitoring of the application of child-sensitive procedures. Linkages with social services will be established and strengthened by promoting the inclusion of representatives of the security and judiciary sectors in relevant coordination mechanisms, and the establishment of clear referral systems for children in contact with the law requiring access to social services (linked to IR 2.6). Once legal provisions are in place, UNICEF will support the implementation of diversion and restorative justice approaches for children in conflict with the law and ensure a stronger application of non-custodial sentences. Technical assistance will be provided to the proposed Child Correction Homes to ensure that the treatment of children placed temporarily in these homes is in accordance to national and international standards. UNICEF will support the development of training on children’s and women’s protection to be incorporated in the national curriculum for law enforcement and judicial authorities. In the meantime, efforts to sustain in-service capacity building of police, judges, court-appointed lawyers, social workers and child psychologists, other court personnel, public prosecutors, legal aid committees and chief district officers will continue throughout the programme cycle.

4.38. IR 3.5: By 2017, children, families, communities and society acquire knowledge, attitudes and practices to protect all children and adolescents, in selected districts and municipalities, take appropriate action to protect children and adolescents, especially girls, at risk or victims of abuse, neglect and exploitation (contributes to UNDAF Output 3.1). This IR aims at disseminating information on child rights, child development stages and needs, child protection-related issues, risks, laws, services and reporting mechanisms in normal as well as emergency situations. The IR will also contribute to changing attitudes, practices and behaviours among children, adolescents, families, communities, professionals in contact with children, and society as a whole. The capacity of Paralegal Committees/Gender-Based Violence Watch Groups to raise awareness, detect, monitor, and report children’s and women’s protection violation cases to competent authorities will be strengthened thereby facilitating access to formal justice and social services. Technical assistance will also be provided to the Department of Women and Children to develop training modules on child protection for Gender-based Violence (GBV) Watch Groups and all Women’s Federation members, and to establish a monitoring system to be used by these Watch Groups. Supported by UNICEF’s Communication Team, efforts to carry out nationwide public information campaigns covering all forms of violence against children, through national, local and social media, and interpersonal communication on specific issues such as corporal punishment will be intensified. Furthermore, cooperation with other sectors to incorporate child protection in the capacity building of Child Clubs, Social Mobilizers, ECD and NFE facilitators, teachers, health workers, local government officials, civil servants and university students, as well as in the education curriculum for formal schooling, ECD and NFE will be strengthened.

Governance, Policy, Planning and Evaluation

4.39. The Governance, Policy, Planning and Evaluation Programme will build the capacities of institutions at national and subnational levels to develop, fund and monitor evidence-based, equity-focused, multi-sectoral frameworks and related policies for children, adolescents and women. Particular focus will be on governance, economic and poverty analysis, social budgeting, social protection, birth registration, and evaluation. The Programme contributes to: UNDAF Outcome 1 – vulnerable and disadvantaged groups get improved access to essential social services and programmes in an equitable manner; UNDAF Outcome 2 – vulnerable groups have improved access to economic opportunities and adequate social protection; UNDAF Outcome 3 – vulnerable groups experience greater-self-confidence, respect and dignity; UNDAF Outcome 4 – vulnerable groups benefit from strengthened legal and policy frameworks and have improved access to security and rule of law institutions; and UNDAF Outcome 5 – institutions, systems and processes for democratic governance are more accountable, effective and efficient and inclusive. The Programme has three sub-components: Child-Friendly Local Governance; Social Policy and Economic Analysis; and Planning and Evaluation.

Child-Friendly Local Governance

4.40. IR 1.7: By 2017, Government institutions at national and sub-national levels that promote the rights of children, adolescents and women are more able to generate and use evidence to develop, fund and monitor equity-focused, gender-sensitive, multi-sectoral planning, governance and social protection frameworks and related policies (UNDAF Output 1.12). CFLG is the main framework and approach within UNICEF’s overall programming. Under this IR,

technical support will be provided to the MOFALD to develop a five-year CFLG rollout plan through the Government’s LGCDP, including capacity- building activities for the Ministry and local bodies, creation of a training and support pool, and development of guidance notes, manuals and communication materials including audio, video, and print, with particular attention to children’s participation in local governance. Through other UNICEF Teams, line ministries will be supported to align with and implement CFLG, ensuring that sectoral results are reflected in the National CFLG Strategy and mainstreamed in sectoral plans and efforts to develop integrated plans, especially in the 15 priority districts. UNICEF will provide technical support for the revision and development of local governance-related legislation, e.g. Local Self Governance Act (LSGA), policies and guidelines from a child rights and equity perspective even in the context of the proposed federal structures. Capacity of relevant stakeholders will be enhanced at national and subnational level including Citizen Awareness Centres and Ward Citizen Forums to advocate for and internalize CFLG within Government’s systems, structures, mechanisms and processes.

4.41. IR 2.9: By 2017, in selected districts and municipalities, local bodies maintain a child- and gender-friendly governance system for integrated planning, monitoring and investment in accordance with their child profile, investment plan, status report and minimum indicators on child survival, development, protection and participation (contributes to UNDAF Output 5.2). UNICEF will work primarily with the MOFALD, local bodies, sectoral line ministries and relevant stakeholders including child rights organizations, and media at local level to develop child-friendly integrated plans that are mainstreamed into local body plans. This will be achieved through: (a) the development of plans that set minimum sectoral and institutional results in accordance with local child profiles; (b) the allocation of resources to child rights (investment plans) via the Government’s block grant, development and sectoral budgets; and (c) the participation of children and adolescents in the entire process. Technical support will be provided for CFLG implementation in the 15 most vulnerable districts, including support and guidance to LGCDP social mobilization, block grant and other resource assessments to ensure allocations and expenditure prioritize children, women and the most disadvantaged. This will also include training, mentoring and coaching of Local Development and Planning Officers by UNICEF Governance Officers in each of the 15 DDCs.

4.42. Capacity building will also be provided to VDC secretaries, LGCDP’s social mobilizers and social mobilization structures – ward citizen forums (WCFs), Citizen Awareness Centres (CACs), and Integrated Planning Committees (IPCs) – on child rights, CFLG and child participation.

4.43. Studies and field visits will be conducted jointly by the Government, UNICEF and other UN agencies and partners to improve effectiveness and ownership of programme results and their contribution to government priorities. Community-level participatory assessment tools on LGCDP social mobilization and CFLG as well as social and gender audits will be conducted regularly. Do no harm and conflict analysis will be commissioned where relevant.

4.44. With technical support from UNICEF’s Child Protection Team, child protection will be incorporated in LGCDP/CFLG data collection, planning and monitoring tools, training modules for social mobilizers and local government officials, as well as guidelines for Citizens Awareness Centres, Ward Citizens Forum and Integrated Planning Committees, and revised “Local Body Grant Implementation Procedures”, and LGCDP and CFLG policies. At local level, UNICEF will support the development of


district, VDC and Municipality multi-sector multi-actor child protection plans and their incorporation in local government plans with adequate budget allocation in line with the CFLG framework. Participation of GBV Watch Groups, Child Protection Committees and other child protection actors in Citizen Awareness Centres, Ward Citizen Forums, Integrated Planning Committees, and CFLG District, VDC/Municipality Committees will be sought. All these interventions will result in child protection being adequately reflected and resourced in CFLG Investment Plans and CFLG child protection goals being achieved.

4.45. IR 3.7: By 2017, in selected districts and municipalities, children, adolescent girls and boys, women and other disadvantaged groups meaningfully participate in decision-making bodies (contributes to UNDAF Output 3.3). Working closely with UNICEF’s ADAP Programme, this result will ensure the systematic, ethical, meaningful and regular participation of children and adolescents, especially the most vulnerable, in local governance structures24 and in local governance decision making processes. Technical assistance will be provided to build the capacity of Child Clubs to learn, undertake community activities, and participate in local governance committees to influence issues that concern children and adolescents. Systematic and meaningful participation of children in local governance structures will be strengthened. Support will be provided to create and gradually institutionalize “Bal Bhela” a forum where all children, especially the most vulnerable, in VDCs and districts can collectively voice their voices and concerns in a forum. This will also entail capacity building of duty bearers to create such mechanisms and listen to children. Increased participation of children, adolescents and other community-based organisations in social audits, public audits and public hearing will be supported. Participatory tools and handbooks will be designed to facilitate broader understanding of child rights at the community level. Working closely with UNICEF’s Planning and Evaluation Team, the DMIS and other monitoring mechanisms of DDC and sectoral ministries will be supported to increase social accountability and transparency as well as alignment with CFLG indicators.

Social Policy and Economic Analysis

4.46. Contributing to IR 1.7, in partnership with NPC, MOF and other Ministries, parliamentarians, development partners, research, civil society and other duty bearers, and children and young people, UNICEF will support child poverty and social budgeting analysis, providing technical inputs to macro level policies that guide national frameworks, plans and budgetary allocations affecting children and the most disadvantaged. Focus will be given to budget analysis and expenditure trends of the national annual budget cycle and Three Year Plan commitments, and link to sectoral financing and investment case development as well as sub-national block grant and public expenditure assessments. Policy briefs from budget analysis results will also be used to support advocacy by parliamentarians, civil society and other stakeholders to prepare proposals and amendments to budget provisions to improve allocations to children and public finance effectiveness. UNICEF will support cross-Ministry follow up to the concluding observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child and related reforms and development of a new NPA. Specifically related to multi-sectoral plans, UNICEF will support and lead coordination with Development Partners in the finalization of the national social protection framework, including technical support to the National Steering Committee Social Protection under the National Planning Commission, in particular for the implementation of action plans across the Steering

Committee’s member Ministries. Key follow up actions to the national framework include technical assistance for fiscal space and costing analysis to ensure the social protection floor priority instruments have sustainable funding through national resources and institutional analysis to improve the cross-Ministerial, cross-stakeholder roles of referral, registration and delivering benefits. As a new Parliament is formed, UNICEF will support the drafting and adoption of a comprehensive social protection act.

4.47. IR 1.8: By 2017, national and provincial legislatures and administrative authorities have improved capacity to draft, reform and implement legislation that complies with international child rights standards and to undertake priority advocacy actions for child rights (UNDAF Output 4.1). In partnership with parliamentarians, inter-Ministerial committees for legislative reform, development partners, research institutions, civil society, and children and adolescents, UNICEF will provide technical assistance and conduct advocacy to ensure child rights are ensured in the new Constitution and other priority legislation, and follow up to State reporting on the CRC and CEDAW. This will include continued support to the Parliamentary Forum on Child Rights as a new Parliament is constituted at the national level, and anticipated support to Provincial legislatures following state-restructuring. UNICEF will undertake assessments in collaboration with stakeholders to improve Nepal’s child rights monitoring and reporting mechanisms, in particular aiming to create a Child Rights Commissioner or Ombudsperson as revisions are considered to the National Human Rights Commission and related Commissions and bodies. UNICEF will collaborate with civil society partners and will provide support and assistance to ensure political parties adhere to the Election Commission’s code of conduct to respect child rights, in particular prohibiting the misuse of children in campaigns and political activities.

4.48. IR 2.8: By 2017, Government institutional capacity strengthened for effective registration, delivery and monitoring of social protection benefits (UNDAF Output 2.6). In partnership with the NPC, MOFALD, development partners and other stakeholders, UNICEF will support the Government to ensure regular 90 per cent coverage of eligible children with the Child Grant and its expansion from the 5 Karnali Districts to other disadvantaged districts. Technical support towards system building (registration, payment, monitoring and reporting of social protection schemes) will continue in selected districts and comprehensive linkages at national level will be ensured. UNICEF will provide technical assistance in developing the Management Information System (MIS) platform for the birth and vital registration, grievance and monitoring mechanisms, innovations to improve the delivery of cash benefits and referral systems with child protection, nutrition, safe motherhood, ADAP and other Ministries, programmes and partners. UNICEF will support capacity development of government duty bearers in social protection at both national and sub-national level through capacity building and joint assessments also to deal with HIV sensitive social protection.

Planning and Evaluation

4.49. Contributing to IR 1.7, UNICEF will provide technical assistance to strengthen the District Poverty Monitoring and Analysis System (DPMAS) in selected districts and the National Monitoring and Evaluation Framework in partnership with the MOFALD and NPC to enhance evidence-based planning and monitoring of district plans and the National Development Plan. Particular emphasis will be placed on improving equity- and results-based programming, planning and monitoring. In partnership with MOFALD and relevant sectoral ministries, the minimum results indicators of


CFLG will be mainstreamed into DPMAS while building the planning and monitoring capacities of DDCs and Integrated Planning Committees.

4.50. UNICEF will further support the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) and sectoral partners to monitor and generate evidence through surveys, Management of Information Systems and innovative monitoring methods on the situation of children, adolescents and women and to track MDGs and other global commitments including the targets of a World Fit For Children as well as reporting on the Convention on the Rights of the Child and on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. UNICEF Nepal will continue to support Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), sectoral MIS and District Poverty Monitoring System (DPMAS) to improve focus on vulnerable population, monitoring progress of National Plan of Action for children, and improve sub-national planning and governance. UNICEF Nepal will develop capacities of the Government in assessment and monitoring of bottlenecks in the implementation of national and sub-national plans, strategies, monitoring and evaluation systems; and in UNDAF and strategic programme partnership frameworks such as the SSRP, the National Health Sector Plan (NHSP), the Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Plan, and the WASH Sector Strategic Plan. Technical assistance will be provided to integrate child protection indicators in MICS, Demographic Health Survey (DHS), Education Management Information System (EMIS), Health Management Information System (HMIS), DPMAS, National Living Standards Survey (NLSS) and Nepal Labour Force Survey (NLFS). In partnership with other partners, national capacity will be built to undertake strategic evaluation to guide national and sectoral planning.

Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Preparedness

4.51. The Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Preparedness Programme aims to ensure that children, adolescents and families, especially the most vulnerable and at risk, have enhanced capacity and resilience to prevent, manage, cope, adapt, prepare for and respond to disaster risks and climate change, under the overall framework of the National Strategy for Disaster Risk Management (NSDRM), formulated by the Government in 2008. The Programme will also directly contribute to the national commitment on the Hyogo Framework of Action and to the work of the Nepal Risk Reduction Consortium (NRRC), launched by the Government in 2009. There will be stronger engagement of sectoral line ministries at national level and sub-national level to emphasize the need for integrating comprehensive disaster risk management into annual development plans especially under four sectors: WASH, Education, Child Protection, and Health and Nutrition. To this end, the UNICEF Country Office has completed a child-centred disaster risk assessment and mapping exercise to prioritize the most vulnerable districts and municipalities. The Programme contributes to UNDAF Outcome 7 – people living in areas vulnerable to climate change and disasters benefit from improved risk management and are more resilient to hazard-related shocks. In times of actual disaster, the Programme will oversee the Humanitarian Action and Cluster Coordination of UNICEF.

4.52. IR 1.9: By 2017, policies, strategy, guidance and budget of four sectors (WASH, Education, Child Protection, and Health and Nutrition including HIV and AIDS) integrate DRR and CCA for disaster risk management with special attention to most at risk children, adolescents, especially girls, and women (contributes to UNDAF Output 7.1). The Programme will work closely with the NPC, Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA), the MOFALD, and through other UNICEF Teams, with the Ministries of Health, Education, Urban Development, and Women, Child and Social

Welfare, the Nepal Red Cross Society, national humanitarian actors, including UN sister agencies and International Humanitarian agencies to advocate and develop policy, strategy and guidelines for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation into sector development plans including budgeting processes. At the district level, UNICEF will support the district partners through District Disaster Relief Committee and District development Committee to develop comprehensive multi-sectoral disaster risk management plan. These plans will serve as the basis for integration of disaster risk management into the annual development plans of sectoral programmes, with special focus on inclusion of child-centred disaster risk reduction measures in school curriculum as well as in LGCDP social mobilization, adolescents and women’s groups, Water and Sanitation User’s Committee, Child Clubs and other existing community based networks.

4.53. IR 2.10: By 2017, selected hazard prone districts and municipalities have strengthened capacity and systems for disaster preparedness and emergency response in line with National Guidelines for Disaster Preparedness and Response Planning and UNICEF core commitments for children in Humanitarian Action (contributes to UNDAF Output 7.4). UNICEF will contribute to strengthening the existing capacity of national and sub-national disaster management authorities, civil society organizations and coordination mechanisms, including District Disaster Relief Committees (DDRC), sector line agency coordination to develop and implement disaster risk reduction, preparedness and response plans through the Government’s sectoral programmes and other district stakeholders. The Inter Agency Standing Committee (IASC) cluster system at central level under which UNICEF leads water and sanitation, education (co-leads with Save the Children), nutrition, and the child protection sub-cluster will ensure coordination of UN, NGO and state actors around the development of consistent and well-coordinated disaster preparedness plans.

Cross-Sectoral Component

4.54. The cross-sectoral component covers operational support for Country and Zonal Office management and administration, various cross-programme staff salaries including the External Relations and C4D Teams as well as programme review and bottleneck-monitoring costs, travel and training.

5.1. Recognizing the importance of strategic partnerships to maximize impact, the Government and UNICEF will work in close collaboration with the UN system, other multi- and bilateral donor partners as well as non-governmental and civil society organizations. The partnership strategy will take into account existing international agreements including the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness.

5.2. The intensive preparation of UNDAF has laid the foundation for much closer UN cooperation. The UN Country Team in partnership with the Government of Nepal is responsible for the implementation of the UNDAF. UNICEF will continue to engage with other United Nations entities through SWAps, joint programmes and joint programming, for example: with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) on education; the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) on gender-based violence; the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on local governance; the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS); the United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative; the United Nations Adolescent Girls’ Task Force Initiative; and UN-Women and UN-Habitat’s Safe and Friendly Cities for All Initiative.

5.3. Engagement with Government and development partners in health and education SWAps will be maintained. Collaboration will continue with various NGO networks such as the Children as Zone of Peace and Child Protection. UNICEF will work with NPC, key Ministries, development partners such as the European Union (EU), and NGOs through the new Ending Child Hunger and Undernutrition Partnership (REACH) and Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) initiative. Cooperation will be enhanced with the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and others to support the Government’s Social Protection Framework. WASH partnerships will be consolidated across a range of sectors, development partners, United Nations entities, and NGOs. Where appropriate, private-public partnerships will be fostered, building on experience from the WASH sector. A new child protection alliance will be developed among key Ministries, together with major NGOs. UNICEF will continue as a key partner and member of the National Advisory Committee for the LGCDP.


5.4. UNICEF will be collaborating with the following Ministries, various departments and district offices within these Ministries, and other government bodies over the course of the CPAP cycle: the Prime Minister’s Office; the Ministry of Finance; the National Planning Commission; the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development; the Ministry of Home Affairs; the Ministry of Health and Population; the Ministry of Education; the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare; the Ministry of Youth and Sports; the Ministry of Law and Justice; the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives; the Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction; the Ministry of Labour and Employment; the Ministry of Urban Development; the Ministry of Communication and Information; the National Police; the Attorney General’s Office and District Attorney’s Offices; the Supreme Court and District Juvenile Benches; the Central and District Child Welfare Boards; and the Central Bureau of Statistics.

6.1. This Country Programme Action Plan between the Government of Nepal and UNICEF commits all participating counterpart ministries, government agencies and local governance institutions to implement the results and programmes described above. While working according to the Government’s Foreign Aid Policy, the Government and UNICEF will continue with non-traditional implementation modalities, where and as appropriate, such as NGO implementation.

6.2. In collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, the National Planning Commission, in the context of its responsibility for preparing and coordinating national plans, will have responsibility for policy coordination and review of the overall country programme by means of a multi-stakeholder Steering Committee which will meet at least once a year. Every year, the National Planning Commission, in consultation with the Ministry of Finance, will call for and convene an annual review meeting involving representatives of all functional ministries and other partners to jointly review the overall programme performance of the implementation of this Country Programme Action Plan and agree on any necessary modifications. Implementing ministries, agencies, local governance institutions and civil society organizations may be requested to provide specific information, evaluation reports and analyses, as well as studies on the situation of children and women, to contribute towards the satisfactory implementation of this Country Programme Action Plan.

6.3. The specific functional responsibility for the administration of the results and programme components at national level will rest with the relevant ministry or department of the Government and at district level with the relevant District Development Committee (DDC) in close collaboration with the line agencies, the Ministry for Federal Affairs and Local Development (MOFALD) as well as NGOs where appropriate. For each Intermediate Result, counterparts will designate a Focal Point who, working in collaboration with the UNICEF Programme Officer, will have overall responsibility for planning, managing and monitoring Intermediate Result implementation.

6.4. To specify the roles and contributions of UNICEF, the Government and other partners in the implementation of this country programme, two 30 month Rolling Work Plans (RWPs) will be prepared in 2013 and 2015, respectively, and revised and approved each year in alignment with the planning and preparation for the Government’s fiscal year (July-June). The RWPs will be adjusted according to implementation experience and the identification of opportunities and constraints to address. The RWPs are the basis for the Government to request disbursements, supplies or services from UNICEF. A more comprehensive Mid-Term Review will be jointly held in 2015. Other UN agencies and representatives of multilateral and bilateral donors, as well as collaborating non-governmental organizations shall be invited to participate in these meetings as appropriate.


6.5. The country programme will continue to build on the United Nations reform principles, especially simplification and harmonization, by operating in line with the harmonized common country programming instruments including the UNDAF. The joint programmes mentioned under Part V will be managed in accordance with UNDG guidelines. The implementation of the joint programmes based on joint programme documents, including common work-plans, will be coordinated through joint programme steering committees.

6.6. A fund raising plan for the country programme includes strategies such as regular contact with UNICEF Committees who have been valuable partners to Nepal in the past, and close interaction with donor representatives present in Nepal to promote bilateral funding of results. Joint visits to programme areas will be arranged and advocacy and promotional material shared with donors. Timely submission of donor reports of a high quality will be essential to sustain donor interest and funding continuity. In addition, UNICEF will explore private sector funding possibilities within Nepal, enhancing the relationships already established with Nepal Telecom and NCell for communication initiatives, especially around the public-private-partnership in WASH.

6.7. Economic and social policy analysis and advocacy will play a critical role as UNICEF helps the Government to strengthen child poverty and disparity analysis, social budgeting, social protection and pro-child public policy and legislative reforms to influence and leverage national budgets and partner resources in favour of children. To mark the increased importance of these roles, the capacity of UNICEF’s Social Policy and Economic Analysis Section has been strengthened and the Chief of Section will report directly to the Representative.

6.8. Given that one of the three PCRs (PCR 3) aims to engage children, adolescent girls and boys, men and women, and all relevant duty-bearers in social change for children it is recommended to significantly raise the profile and impact of C4D interventions across the entire Country Programme. This function will be embedded in different Sections and Zonal Offices but will be guided by a C4D Unit in Kathmandu headed by a Chief of Communication who will also lead the External Communications Unit. Combining the skills of both communication disciplines (communication for development and external relations) under the managerial oversight of one Chief will allow UNICEF Nepal to build the Government’s capacity to enhance vital linkages between families, volunteers, communities, government, civil society, media, political bodies, the corporate sector, and social media platforms to achieve results for children.

6.9. Recognizing the serious issues facing Nepal’s young people, a new Adolescent Development and Participation (ADAP) Programme is proposed and will focus on civic engagement and sustainable socio-economic integration including life skills, livelihoods and entrepreneurships.

6.10. The UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia, which is based in Kathmandu, will support the Country Programme, especially on technical issues through a number of regional technical advisors.

6.11. All cash transfers to an implementing partner are based on the Rolling Work Plans agreed between the implementing partner and UNICEF. An implementing partner is an entity that signs a Work Plan with UNICEF and assumes full responsibility and accountability for the effective use of the UNICEF’s resources. Implementing partners may include government entities such as line ministries, constitutional

emen

t

bodies and District Development Committees (DDC); United Nations organizations, non-governmental and inter-governmental organizations.

6.12. Cash transfers for activities detailed in RWPs can be made by UNICEF by using the following modalities: (a) cash transferred directly to the implementing partner prior to the start of activities (direct cash transfer), or after activities have been completed (reimbursement); (b) direct payment to vendors or third parties for obligations incurred by the implementing partners on the basis of requests signed by the designated official of the implementing partner; (c) direct payments to vendors or third parties for obligations incurred by UN agencies in support of activities agreed with implementing partners.

6.13. However, cash transfers may be made to the national treasury for forwarding to the implementing partner depending upon the nature of activities and mutual agreement between the implementing partner and UNICEF. Cash transfers to the national treasury can be made by using any one of the modalities mentioned above. Where cash transfers are made through the treasury, the modalities of such transfers and a tracking mechanism will be agreed upon with the Government.

6.14. Cash transfers may be made to government entities or non-governmental organizations other than the implementing partners where such entities directly implement key activities within a Rolling Work Plan. However, such an arrangement will be prior agreed with the implementing partner.

6.15. In case of direct budget support to the Government of Nepal for the implementation of SWAps, the modalities of such support will be established on a case-by-case basis through the signature of a MoU with the Ministry of Finance.

6.16. Direct cash transfers shall be requested and released for programme implementation periods not exceeding three months. Reimbursements of previously authorized expenditures shall be requested and released quarterly or after the completion of activities. UNICEF shall not be obligated to reimburse expenditure made by the Implementing Partner over and above the authorized amounts.

6.17. Following the completion of any activity, any balance of funds shall be reprogrammed by mutual agreement between the Implementing Partner and UNICEF, or refunded.

6.18. Cash transfer modalities, the size of disbursements, and the scope and frequency of assurance activities may depend on the findings of a review of the public financial management capacity in the case of a Government Implementing Partner, and of an assessment of the financial management capacity of the non-UN25 Implementing Partner. A qualified consultant, such as a public accounting firm, selected by UNICEF in consultation with the Government may conduct such an assessment, in which the Implementing Partner shall participate.

6.19. Cash transfer modalities, the size of disbursements, and the scope and frequency of assurance activities may be revised in the course of programme implementation based on the findings of programme monitoring, expenditure monitoring and reporting, and audits.

7.1. Monitoring and evaluation are essential functions for providing information about progress and results achieved, identifying new areas or emerging concerns and laying the basis for programme adjustment. Monitoring of the situation of children and women forms the basis for advocacy for both policies and programmes. Each Programme will consequently allocate a minimum of 3 to 5 per cent of its respective budget to programme-related research and studies, and surveys or other data collection for performance monitoring and evaluations. Country Programme Evaluations in line with MTSP Evaluation framework, Country Programme Annual Reviews, and the Mid-Term Review (MTR) are the primary means for monitoring and evaluating the Country Programme as a whole.

7.2. The indicators needed to assess programme progress and results are captured in the Results and Resources Framework (Annex I), which in combination with the Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (IMEP) (Annex II) provide the overall monitoring and evaluation framework for the Country Programme. A key purpose of the IMEP is to ensure coordination and integration of monitoring and evaluation activities for greater effectiveness and efficiency. The multi-year IMEP provides information on programme-level studies, surveys and evaluations across programme components. An annual IMEP will be prepared each year along with the revised rolling work plans. Various PCR-level indicators will be measured through population-based surveys to be conducted before 2017. Intermediate Results will also undergo review every four months (April, August, and December each year) to assist the Government’s and UNICEF’s monitoring and annual reporting.

7.3. Programme monitoring will include midyear and annual reviews undertaken with partners including donors as required. UNICEF officers together with Government and Development Partners as required will carry out regular field visits in support of programme implementation and monitoring. During these visits they will monitor progress in implementation of work plans as well as utilization of cash and supplies provided. Indicators tracked through DevInfo will, to the greatest extent possible, be used to provide both external monitoring of the situation and progress towards realizing the rights of children. Analysis and monitoring of bottlenecks will be incorporated into planning, monitoring and evaluation processes with partners to accelerate achievement of MDGs and national priority goals with equity. Gaps in data, evidence and knowledge will be addressed and disseminated through knowledge management systems, particularly knowledge and evidence in development and protection of adolescents and children with disability. New innovative approaches and methodologies will be tested and applied by building upon existing monitoring systems such as SMS and real time monitoring methods in collaboration with other partners such as the World Food Programme’s Vulnerability Assessment Mapping (VAM).


7.4. The country programme will also support strengthening of the Government’s child-related management information systems. This will facilitate timely reporting on the Government’s various NPAs for children, child-related results in national development plans, and on the situation of children including on the Millennium Development Goals, the targets of a World Fit For Children as well as reporting on the Convention on the Rights of the Child and on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. Government-led evaluations will be supported to improve the effectiveness and ownership of programme results. A real-time monitoring framework will track both gender equality and efforts to tackle key national and subnational bottlenecks.

7.5. UNDAF monitoring and evaluation matrices will be used by theme groups to monitor UNDAF results, determine UNICEF contributions to the UNDAF, and to prepare annual reports for the Resident Coordinator.

7.6. A 2015 Mid-Term Review (MTR) will review the effectiveness of the programme in achieving its expected results as defined in the results matrix. The MTR provides an opportunity to take into account lessons learned, opportunities and constraints and make necessary mid-course corrections to accelerate progress towards the expected results. It will enable the Country Programme to focus cooperation on emerging priority issues and identify those no longer needing support. In advance of the MTR, UNICEF and counterparts will evaluate agreed-on programme components as well as innovations relating to knowledge, advocacy and policy analysis. The situation analysis will be updated at the MTR and in the final year of the programme cycle.

7.7. Implementing partners agree to cooperate with UNICEF for monitoring all activities supported by cash transfers and will facilitate access to relevant financial records and personnel responsible for the administration of cash provided by the UNICEF. To that effect, Implementing partners agree to the following:

1. Periodic on-site reviews and spot checks of their financial records by UNICEF or its representatives,

2. Programmatic monitoring of activities following UNICEF’s standards and guidance for site visits and field monitoring,

3. Special or scheduled audits. UNICEF, in collaboration with other UN agencies (where so desired) and in consultation with the coordinating Ministry will establish an annual audit plan, giving priority to audits of Implementing Partners with large amounts of cash assistance provided by UNICEF, and those whose financial management capacity needs strengthening.

7.8. The audits of government implementing partners will be undertaken by the Office of the Auditor General of Nepal (OAG) as per the INTOSAI standards on auditing and international best practices. In view of capacity development needs of OAG as identified in the Macro Assessment report, the services of a private audit firm may be obtained by UNDP in coordination with other ExCom agencies, the Ministry of Finance and OAG. The OAG will lead the overall audit process and provide the final audit report to UNICEF. Assessments and audits of non-government Implementing Partners will be conducted in accordance with the policies and procedures of UNICEF.
