Activities:

This was a 3-year project being implemented in Kalika Municipality and Bharatpur Metropolitan City of Chitwan district. The project was led by Humanity & Inclusion (HI) along with consortium members: Leonard Cheshire (LC) and Sense International (SI) and three local implementing partners: Autism Care Chitwan Society (ACCS), National Federation of Deaf Nepal (NFDN) and COMMITTED.

This project mainly focused on promoting equitable access to quality education and demonstrating learning achievements in basic level grades for girls and boys with disabilities including those with complex disabilities and other children with learning support needs. The project worked towards supporting local government, schools and relevant stakeholders to implement policies, procedures, and plans as part of the system to support the education of children with disabilities and other learning needs. It also focused on capacity building of local teachers as well as parents, community members and other local authorities in the awareness of Inclusive Education in the local school system using UDL and assistive ICT tools and equipment.

Due to closure of Leonard Cheshire globally, COMMITTED, Nepal was able to implement the activities only until November 30th, 2022.
