  1. Background<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Dedicated Grant Mechanism for Indigenous Peoples (IPs) and Local Communities (LCs) in Nepal (DGM Nepal) is a World Bank-funded project under the Forest Investment Program (FIP) of the Climate Investment Fund. The project, with a total grant of USD 4.5 million, aims to strengthen the capacity of IPLCs and support their participation in REDD+ processes at local, national, and global levels.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The project focuses on two components:\u00a0<\/span>(i)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Capacity Building of IPLCs and\u00a0<\/span>(ii)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Small Grants to promote livelihoods, particularly through NTFP and agroforestry-based enterprises in Madhesh and Lumbini Provinces. These include bamboo products, herbal and spice processing (e.g., Timur, cinnamon), Chiuri, Moringa,\u00a0fruits\u00a0processing, essential oils,\u00a0handicrafts\u00a0etc.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Effective mechanization,\u00a0appropriate machinery\u00a0selection, and technical backstopping are critical to enhance productivity, quality, and sustainability of these enterprises. Therefore, a Mechanical Engineer \u2013 Expert will be engaged to provide dedicated technical support.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
