LAN launches capacity building programme for marginalised communities

Kathmandu, Nov. 12

Leadership Academy Nepal (LAN) is implementing a project to enhance the capacity of the non-government organisations (NGOs) supporting marginalised communities.

The Ford Foundation funded programme aims to provide demand driven capacity development support to NGOs that are providing services to the most disadvantaged communities among the Dalits and the Indigenous groups.

"It is the aspiration of the proposed program that stronger NGOs and their ecosystem will help to enhance their overall resourcefulness, credibility and funds mobilization in the long run. Such an outcome would also help to strengthen and consolidate philanthropic activities for greater effectiveness and impact," said Dr. Arun Raj Joshi, Founder and Chief Executive Office of LAN.

LAN organized a project inception meeting on Friday where participants from indigenous and dalit communities, scholars, and representatives of development partner organizations offered suggestions for the effective implementation of the programme.

They discussed the importance of building capacity in the area of enhancing indigenous knowledge and skills, developing different policies, resource mobilization, sustainability and importance of addressing issues of disabled people.
