Region:
South Asia
Location:
This project will take place in Nepal. The major part in Kathmandu and fifteen remote districts of the country, mostly away from center's access and development.
Innovation:
For the first time in Nepal, the State Alumni will be engaged in a leadership training that reaches out to such a crucial target group in such a crucial time like never before
This program will impact directly to around 15 participants and they and the FM radio programs/media will reach out to over 7.5 million people in the areas hard hit by conflict
This project takes an innovative approach of mixing leadership training with opportunity to implementing the learned skills in real situation.
The prgram utlises the knowledge and skills learned by State Alumni from Nepal
This project is innovative in the way it reaches out to young people for the first time in far, remote and so-far neglected conflict affected areas
This will deploy the media, FM radio stations, local NGOs and colleges through a wide collaboration plan
The leaders will get chance to meet/question political and non-political leaders, otherwise impossible. This will help build the young leaders' confidence to meet goal
The program forges a wide partnership with local non-governmental actors
The program will have a long lasting impact and will continue to promote debate through the Facebook and other social networking tools which will be developed during the program
Very low cost but very high impact or outcome/output
This project has potential to be expanded further in Nepal and replicated in other countries as well
