PHASE (Practical Help Achieving Self-Empowerment) Nepal is a non-governmental, non-profit making and non-political organization with equal opportunities. It specializes in improving and strengthening health, education and livelihood opportunities for marginalized and disadvantaged populations in very remote and resource poor Himalayan/mountain villages in Nepal. PHASE aims to support the most vulnerable people to break the cycle of poverty; by assisting communities and local authorities to lay the groundwork for a self-empowered and self-sustained society. In order to empower individuals and communities at all levels and ensure leave no one behind, PHASE always been an integrated program approach that addresses multifaceted problems of poverty and exclusion in a multi-sector approach.

Preliminary discussions with local government representatives suggest that in spite of a number of NGOs involved in Ajirkot, Dharche and Tsumnubri, access to services, markets and livelihood opportunities are still problematic, especially for the poorest and most marginalized members of communities. In Gandaki, there is somewhat better access to higher education and to health services (there is a college up to Bachelor’s level in Darbhung and a Primary Healthcare Centre in Makaising), but the most vulnerable groups struggle to access these, and have little access to sustainable livelihoods.

PHASE Nepal is implementing the Purnima “Leave No One Behind” project in the four selected municipalities of Gorkha District, Chumnubri, Dharche, Ajirkot and Gandaki. Regular and interactive discussions with local government representatives suggest that in spite of a number of NGOs involved in Ajirkot, Dharche and Chumnubri, access to services, markets and livelihood opportunities are still problematic, especially for the poorest and most marginalized members of communities. In Gandaki, there is somewhat better access to higher education and to health services, but the most vulnerable groups struggle to access these, and have little access to sustainable livelihoods.
