Felm Nepal seeks Expressions of Interest (EoI) from NGOs registered with Social Welfare Council (SWC) to implement an anticipated four-year project in Karnali Province, estimated to start on the second quarter of 2026.
Felm Nepal is currently working on the areas of community development and the rights of people with disabilities. The anticipated project is planned to be working in two area clusters; 1) Humla and Mugu, 2) Salyan, Jajarkot and West Rukum, in Karnali Province, in the following thematic areas:
- Climate Resilient Communities (Climate resilient agriculture and related value chains, inclusive disaster preparedness and risk reduction, and youth engagement for resilient livelihood)
- Inclusive Education (Back to school: school nutrition & livelihoods, mobile class-room solutions, identifying drop-outs; reducing learning & access barriers; and inclusive, safe and protective learning environment)
For both the thematic areas mentioned above, we want to work with and for the rights of persons with disabilities, women, single women, female headed households, Dalits, freed Haliyas, freed Kamaiyas, and the most excluded and vulnerable groups of the Province.
Cross cutting themes are 1) gender equality, and 2) disability inclusion. Methodologically influencing policy and advocacy is what we do in all our outcome areas with duty bearers, rights-holders, and local government especially. Thus, we want to partner with NGOs having strong coordination and collaboration with local government.
NGOs interested in partnering with Felm Nepal for the anticipated project are requested to submit their application with the concept note by 31 October 2024 at partnerselection@felm.org. The application forms can be downloaded here:
Please note that the selection of the partners will depend on the availability of the funds. Felm Nepal reserve the rights to reject the application if applicant is found ineligible.
We encourage OPDs, and NGOs led by women, ethnic minorities, and Dalits, to apply.
