In this way, the organizations become stronger and can deliver better services in their local communities.

Project details: Four participants from each country (Nepal & India) will be engaged in the exchange project. The participants will work together on the projects being implemented in both countries and will replicate the best practices in their own country. The participants will be mobilized such that they will get an opportunity to learn the dynamics of social inclusion, gender-based discrimination, gender-based violence, and social malpractices. By the end of the exchange cycle, the participants will be able to make a comparative understanding of the situation of women and girls in the two countries.
