Background
Nepal, being signatory to various international conventions, is legally committed to gender equality and social inclusion. Three of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are also closely related with gender equality and social inclusion (GESI), SDG 1 (elimination of absolute poverty and reduction of poverty by half), SDG 5 (gender equality and empowerment of women and girls) and SDG 10 on reducing inequality (within and between countries) by 2030.
The Constitution of Nepal envisions Nepal as an inclusive state and guarantees the right to equality for all its citizens. Since last few decades, the Government of Nepal (GoN) and the development partners have developed and implemented different policy frameworks to mainstream GESI. Sector specific GESI policies and guidelines have also been adopted by different sectoral ministries of the GoN.
In this regard, the training program on GESI has been designed to develop insights on power relations between different gender and social groups in Nepal and the application of GESI concepts and tools in the project cycle.
