USAID/Nepal also plans to partner with local organizations that directly engage with marginalized and vulnerable populations, including removing barriers for women, youth and marginalized and/or historically disadvantaged groups, which may include Dalits, Madhesi Other Caste, Tarai Janajatis, and Muslims. USAID/Nepal also prioritizes partnership with civil society, the private sector, local governments, and other relevant local actors to co-design and implement solutions. Local organizations should propose solutions that address the priorities of marginalized and vulnerable communities to improve resilience to poverty backsliding, while also strengthening existing local networks.
