DGM Nepal Project Component 1 aims at building the capacity of IPs & LCs to fully participate in Nepal\u2019s and global REDD+ and forest policy processes and dialogues; while at the same time improving their skills and management capacities for SFM (including value addition) and to follow established procedures for securing forest use and management rights as part of customary governance and traditional and cultural practices. IPs & LCs capacity will be developed to participate in the implementation of the agreed policies and measures related to Nepal\u2019s REDD+ process.

\n In the context of the ongoing federalization process and the resulting change in the decision-making process on natural resources, including forests, the DGM Nepal Project will support the involvement of IPs & LCs in the respective local government (Palikas), project districts, and also in ongoing policy dialogue and decision-making processes related to REDD+ and forests at all 3 levels of government.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sub-component 1.1: Providing technical assistance for capacity building of IPLCs

\n\nThe sub-component 1.1 will provide technical assistance for the capacity building of IPs & LCs through organizing knowledge-sharing activities led by IPLCs\u2019 representatives and\/or experts on topics such as REDD+ and SFM, SFM planning, improving the productivity of forests under community-based forest management, improving the quality of timber and non-timber forest product (NTFP), adding value to timber and NTFP, successfully accessing markets and financial services, conducting inventories on NTFP, addressing gender-inequalities and providing forest-relevant alternative livelihood opportunities to reduce pressure on forests.

\n Under this sub-component, the project would also offer scholarships to individuals from vulnerable and marginalized IPs & LCs, including women for technical and vocational training colleges to enhance their technical skills to be employed in the forest sector or run their businesses. Training opportunities will be supported mainly within Nepal but if needed, training opportunities outside Nepal can be provided \/organized if justified.

\n\nThe following are major activities planned under subcomponent 1.1:<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
