Education for Youth and Youth for Peace and Development (EYYPD) Project (2007-2011) Nepal External Evaluation Report
After a decade-long civil war, Nepal is attempting to move towards inclusive development. The conflict had a massive negative impact on youths and the accessibility of their continued education. Considering the need to mobilize youths in constructive peace building process, Underprivileged Children’s Education Project (UCEP) implemented Education for Youth and Youth for Peace and Development (EYYPD) Project in 20 districts of mid- and far-western Nepal. The project targeted children/youths of the age group 13 to 19 years, especially conflict victims, internally displaced people (IDP), and other marginalized children/youths (Dalits, Janajatis, bounded laborers and ethnic communities). During the period of 2007 to 2011, the project imparted technical education and vocational training to more than 400 youths and helped them to build sustainable livelihood mechanisms. Nepal Evaluation and Assessment Team (NEAT) conducted external impact evaluation of the project during August – December, 2011.The financial support for the project was provided from Operation Day’s Work (Norway) through Redd Barna Norge and implemented by Save the Children Nepal (SCN). The main objective of the study was to assess the project process and progress in line with its targets and indicators as per the proposal, and document the present status (employment status, earnings) of the graduates.
