DID (SARAL)

Title of Action: Video Consultancy Service for the project “Strengthening Adolescents Reproductive health And Livelihoods” SARAL in Surkhet district

      Humanity & Inclusion (HI), the new name of Handicap International, is an independent and impartial international aid organization working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. It works alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, taking action and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, to improve their living conditions and to promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

As a lead partner, HI is implementing a program called Disability Inclusive Development (DID) under which ‘Strengthening Adolescents Reproductive health And Livelihoods’ (SARAL). DID (SARAL) is an innovative project, implemented in consortium with Light for The World (LFTW) and Sense International (SI), and Disabled Empowerment Centre (DEC) as a local partner in Surkhet.

With the dire need to address the issues and challenges felt by the young people with disabilities the project has established the holistic statement i.e. Young people with disabilities have limited knowledge of their Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) Rights, have limited access to SRH services and livelihood opportunities due to stigma and inaccessibility which limits their future prospects. In order to bridge the overall statement DID has aimed to bring together the three main actors:

i)               Young people with disabilities

ii)             Service Providers

iii)           Government Authorities.

The project design phase is driven by an understanding of mitigating the gaps among the young people with disabilities in relation to their SRH and livelihood through stakeholders’ participation and engagement of OPDs throughout the lifecycle of the project. The envisioned innovation will be piloted in two municipalities of Surkhet district; Birendranagar and Bheriganga Municipalities. The targeted participants for this innovation program is young people specifically those with disabilities (physical, intellectual, mental, sensorial) from 10-24 years old. The project focuses on working at three domain of change:

iv)           Individual and family

v)             Local service and

vi)           System and governance.

Along with the DID domain of change, this program adheres with the adaptive management approach i.e., feasible and flexible testing; continuous monitoring; receiving feedback and taking corrective course of actions throughout the innovation phase.
