Mid Term Assessment of Inclusion Project, Nepal
The Dalits Situation Analysis - Sunsari; Analysis of Marketable Skills and Mid Term Review of the Inclusion Project for the Dalits and Differently abledThis summary is a synthesis of findings from the Study on the situation and economic opportunities of the dalits and differently abled along with summary of the findings from the Mid Term Review (MTR) of the Plan Nepal facilitated Inclusion Project. The initiative is aimed at promoting the rights of the dalits and disabled people for full recognition and participation in mainstream development. Social hierarchies have perpetrated discrimination, exploitation and exclusion of the dalits people who are regarded as a low caste (people with permanent low social status). The inclusion project is being implemented by Plan Nepal since 2005 and covers geographic areas of Sansari and Morang districts. In light of the human rights provisions backed by restoration of Nepali democracy in 1990, there has been increased awareness of people's human rights amongst the population which has altogether necessitated the need to promote the social economic status and enjoyment of right to basic services amongst the dalits. The Situation analysis of the dalits in Sunsari, gives more insight and appreciation of the position and status of dalits in Sunsari and in Nepal in general.
