Background

The National Federation of the Disabled – Nepal (NFD-N) is a national umbrella organization representing Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) and advocating for the rights, dignity, and meaningful participation of persons with disabilities in governance and development processes across Nepal. NFD-N partners with federal, provincial, and local governments, civil society, and development actors to strengthen disability-inclusive policies, accountability systems, and institutional capacities.

Despite Nepal’s progressive legal framework and federal governance structure, women, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups continue to face systemic barriers to participation, access to services and meaningful participation in the local governance process like budgeting, participation and others. The Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) approach promotes inclusive governance by mainstreaming equity in planning, budgeting, decision-making, and service delivery to ensure that marginalized populations actively influence and benefit from development outcomes. The Sub-national Governance Programme (SNGP) initiatives in partnership with The Asia Foundation emphasize institutionalizing GEDSI practices at sub-national levels.

For mainstreaming the disability inclusion at the sub national governance, NFD-N in partnership with The Asia Foundation is currently implementing the “Disability Inclusion in Sub National Governance Program” under SNGP in six municipalities namely Mithila, Bhimeshwor, Waling, Tansen, Birendranagar and Tikapur as well as in Koshi and Gandaki Province.

To strengthen evidence-based programming, adaptive learning, and knowledge sharing across project interventions, NFD-N seeks a highly experienced and qualified professional for the position of Impact, Learning and Knowledge Management Officer to lead impact documentation, outcome harvesting, and knowledge dissemination initiatives.

राष्ट्रिय अपाङ्ग महासंघ नेपाल देशैभरी छरिएर रहेका अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिको हक अधिकारको संरक्षण गर्न वि.सं. २०५० सालदेखि निरन्तर क्रियाशील एकमात्र राष्ट्रिय छाता संस्था हो । यस संस्थाले नीति निर्माणमा अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिका सवालहरूलाई समावेश गराउन र बनेका नीतिहरूको कार्यान्वयन गराउनका लागि विशेष भूमिका खेल्दै आएको छ ।

राष्ट्रिय अपाङ्ग महासंघ नेपालले पछिल्लो समयमा अपाङ्गता समावेशी विकास, निर्णय प्रक्रियामा अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिको प्रतिनिधित्व सुनिश्चित गर्न, सदस्य संस्थाहरू (OPDs) र अन्य सरोकारवालाहरूको क्षमता विकास, CRPD को कार्यान्वयनमा काम गरिरहेको छ ।

२. परियोजनाको पृष्ठभूमि

‘हामीलाई पनि समावेश गर” फेज–II’ परियोजना राष्ट्रिय अपाङ्ग महासंघ नेपाल (NFD-N) र CBM Global Disability Inclusion सङ्गको साझेदारीमा सञ्चालन गरिरहेको पाँच वर्षे (सन २०२५-२०३०) सम्मको परियोजना हो ।

यस परियोजनाले अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरूले आफ्ना अधिकारहरूको पूर्ण उपभोग गर्न र सामाजिक, आर्थिक तथा राजनीतिक जीवनमा समान रूपले सहभागी हुन सक्ने समावेशी नेपाली समाज निर्माणमा योगदान पुर्‍याउने लक्ष्य राखेको छ ।

नेपालले अपाङ्गता अधिकार प्रवर्द्धनका क्षेत्रमा केही प्रगति हासिल गरेको छ, तर अर्थपूर्ण समावेशीकरण अझै पनि सीमित छ । अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरू शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, रोजगारी, सार्वजनिक सेवा पहुँच जस्ता आधारभूत क्षेत्रमा विभिन्न अवरोधहरूको सामना गरिरहेका छन्, जुन सामाजिक असमानता, परम्परागत सोच तथा सांस्कृतिक पूर्वाग्रहले झनै जटिल बनाएको छ । विशेषगरी अपाङ्गता भएका महिलाहरू र सीमान्तकृत समुदायका व्यक्तिहरूले बहुअपमानीकरण र बहिष्करणको सामना गर्नुपरिरहेको छ ।

“हामीलाई पनि समावेश गर” पहिलो चरणका उपलब्धिहरूलाई आधार मानेर, यस दोस्रो चरणमा अधिकार, नीति कार्यान्वयन र प्रणालीगत परिवर्तन ल्याउनको लागि काम गर्नेछ । यस परियोजनाले अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरू विशेषगरी अपाङ्गता भएका महिलाहरू र अपाङ्गता त्यस भित्रपनि निम्न प्रतिनिधित्व भएका समूहहरूलाई ज्ञान, सीप, चेतना र निर्णय प्रक्रियामा सक्रिय सहभागिता सुनिश्चित गर्ने दिशामा सशक्त बनाउने लक्ष्य राखेको छ । साथै, संघीय, प्रदेश र स्थानीय तहका सरकारी नीतिहरू, कार्यक्रमहरू र बजेट अपाङ्गता समावेशी बनाउनका लागि परियोजनाले काम गर्नेछ ।

परियोजनाले मुख्य गरि नीति तथा सुशासन, न्यायमा पहुँच, अपाङ्गता भएका महिलाहरू र निम्न प्रतिनिधित्व भएका समूहहरूको लागि नेतृत्व तथा सशक्तिकरण, पहुँचयुक्तता, सचेतना तथा महासंघ र यसका सदस्य संस्थाहरुको क्षमता विकासमा काम गर्नेछ ।

“हामीलाई पनि समावेश गर” फेज-II’ परियोजनाले अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरूको  अधिकार प्रबर्ध्दनका लागि रहेका विद्यमान अवरोधहरू हटाउदै, समान अवसर प्रवर्द्धन गर्ने, र अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरूको अर्थपूर्ण र सम्मानजनक सहभागितालाई सुनिश्चित गर्ने लक्ष्य राखेको छ । अन्ततः, यस परियोजनाले अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरूले आफ्ना अधिकारहरू पूर्ण रूपमा उपयोग गर्न सक्ने समावेशी, न्यायपूर्ण र सक्षम समाज निर्माण गर्न योगदान पुर्‍याउने छ ।

राष्ट्रिय अपाङ्ग महासंघ नेपालले CBM Global Disability Inclusion सँगको साझेदारीमा सन्चालित “हामीलाई पनि समावेश गर” परियोजना अन्तर्गत ४ प्रदेशका १२ पालिकाबाट १२ वटा अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरूद्वारा संचालित संस्था (OPDs) लाई स्थानीय स्तरमा परियोजना कार्यान्वयन साझेदारको रूपमा छनौट गर्नुपर्ने भएकालेसुदूरपश्चिम प्रदेशमा जानकी गाउँपालिका-कैलाली, मङ्गलसेन नगरपालिका-अछाम, भीमदत्त नगरपालिका-कंचनपुर,लुम्बिनी प्रदेशमा शीतगङ्गा नगरपालिका-अर्घाखाँची, दङ्गिशरण गाउँपालिका- दांग, बढैयाताल गाउँपालिका-बर्दिया,कर्णाली प्रदेशमा मुसिकोट नगरपालिका-रुकुमपश्चिम, छायाँनाथ रारा नगरपालिका-मुगु, सिंजा गाउँपालिका – जुम्ला र  मधेश प्रदेशमा आदर्श कोतवाल गाउँपालिका-बारा, परोहा नगरपालिका – रौतहट र लोहारपट्टी नगरपालिका- महोत्तरी सम्बन्धित जिल्लामा दर्ता भई माथि उल्लेखित पालिकामा कार्यक्षेत्र बनाई कार्य गरिरहेका स्थानिय OPD’s हरुले यो सूचना प्रकाशित भएको मितिले १५ दिन भित्र सम्पुर्ण प्रक्रिया पुरा गरि आवेदनहरु procurement@nfdn.org.np र बोधार्थमा  spc.iu@nfdn.org.np र dcc.iu@nfdn.org.np  मा OPD छनौटका लागि आवेदन बिषय राखी  पेश गर्न हुन यो सूचना प्रकाशित गरिएको छ ।

Position Title: Provincial Advocacy Officer

Project: Include Us phase II

Number of Positions: 4 (Four)

Duty Stations: One officer will be based in each of the following provinces:

Madhesh, Lumbini, Karnali, and Sudurpaschim.

Reports to: Provincial Manager, Advocacy, Communication and Documentation coordinator and National project coordinator.

Contract Type: Full-time position for the project period (with annual renewal based on performance Evaluation) and funding availability.

Organizational Background:

The National Federation of the Disabled Nepal (NFDN) is a national umbrella organization representing Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) in Nepal. Established in 1993 and NFDN works to promote and protect disability rights through advocacy, awareness raising, capacity building, and networking. It has a network of 400 affiliated OPDs across 76 out of 77 districts in Nepal and operates its offices in all 7 provinces.

At the federal level, NFDN is the primary consulting agency for the government on disability issues, offering technical support for policies, laws, and programs. It is part of several national councils and committees, including the Inclusive Education Council, Disability Desk at the Prime Minister’s Office, and National Development Council. NFDN also collaborates with various organizations such as the NGO Federation, Human Rights Treaty Monitoring Coordination Committee (HRTMCC), and Thematic disability federations.
NFDN is implementing a five-years project titled “Include Us phase II” in partnership with CBN Global Disability Inclusion.

Project Background

The Include Us Phase II project is a five-year initiative led by the National Federation of the Disabled Nepal (NFDN) in partnership with CBM Global Disability Inclusion. The project aims to contribute to an inclusive Nepalese society where persons with disabilities can fully enjoy their rights and participate equally in social, economic, and political life.

Although Nepal has made notable progress in advancing disability rights, meaningful inclusion remains limited. Persons with disabilities continue to face barriers in education, healthcare, employment, and access to public services—barriers often intensified by social inequalities and cultural biases. Women with disabilities, particularly those from marginalized communities, experience multiple layers of discrimination and exclusion.

Building on the achievements of Include Us Phase I, this second phase focuses on deepening advocacy, strengthening policy implementation and driving systemic change. The project seeks to empower persons with disabilities—especially women and members of underrepresented disability groups—by increasing their knowledge, awareness, and active participation in decision-making processes at federal, provincial and local levels. It also works to ensure that government policies, programs and budgets are disability-inclusive and responsive to the needs of persons with disabilities.

The project is being implemented in Madhesh, Lumbini, Karnali, and Sudurpaschim Provinces and operates through five key thematic areas:

• Policy and Governance
• Access to Justice
• Leadership and Empowerment
• Accessibility
• Awareness and Capacity Building

Through these strategic interventions, Include Us Phase II aims to remove

barriers, promote equal opportunities, and foster meaningful participation,

ultimately creating a more inclusive and just society where persons with

disabilities can fully exercise their rights and potential.
