Call for Proposals: Institutional capacity building training for women's groups in SPNP

WWF Nepal has been supporting the Nepal Government in snow leopard conservation in Shey-Phoksundo National Park (SPNP), working closely with communities. Among the activities supported, includes creation of community-based institutions and capacitating them for leadership in conservation and for well-being of communities. More than 50 individual women’s groups were created within SPNP for specific engagement of women in conservation during the 2000s. However, despite equal opportunities offered by the project, women engagement in conservation interventions remains limited to a few individuals/groups.

In the recent past, 58 women’s groups have been revived and institutionalized within SPNP. These women’s groups have only recently been active in engaging in conservation efforts and need continuous support to strengthen institutionally for active engagement in conservation work. To empower women’s meaningful engagement in conservation, SPNP-WWF wishes to engage experts to help build capacity of women’s group of Mugum Karmarong Rural Municipality, Mugu district under SPNP on women’s leadership, women’s role in conservation and make further plans to functionalize women’s group for active engagement in conservation work.

Interested organizations are requested to submit technical and financial proposals providing a detailed breakdown of total budget in Nepali rupees, electronically to proposals-wildlife@wwfnepal.org.

Please mention “Proposal- SPNP Women” as an email subject and submit the proposal by 5 PM, Nepal Standard Time, 31st October 2024.
