Nepal: Making markets work for the conflict affected in Nepal

Development Objective

The objective of the Project is to enhance the opportunities and share of rural artisans (especially the poorest, internally displaced people, landless and the vulnerable) in the crafts and cultural market. The project will target poor and disadvantaged people (including women and differently-abled), particularly in lagging and conflict affected districts that have been marked by social unrest and stress. This innovative project aims at addressing a root cause of unrest and distress migration by enabling the beneficiaries to access sustainable livelihoods by strengthening their traditional skills and make inroads into mainstream markets.
