Youth led GESI initiatives for COVID recovery strategies and actions in Nepal Project

 

The Youth-led GESI Initiative for COVID Recovery Strategies and Actions in Nepal uplifts the voices of youth and women to build back a better, progressive and inclusive Nepal. Youth and women have been heavily impacted by COVID-19, but without the tools for collective action, their needs have not been actively addressed in the recovery strategy. By supporting youth and young women in becoming agents of change and by providing business opportunities to youth on green climate smart business models, the project will contribute to increased empowerment and political participation of Nepali youth in Karnali and Sudhurpaschim provinces.
