National Federation of the Disabled – Nepal (NFDN)

Collective Action for Disability Rights in Nepal (CADiR)

The National Federation of the Disabled – Nepal (NFDN) is the national umbrella organization representing persons with disabilities across Nepal. Through the Collective Action for Disability Rights in Nepal (CADiR) project – implemented in consortium with the Nepal Association of the Blind (NAB), Parents Federation of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (PFPID), National Federation of the Deaf Nepal (NDFN), and Nepal Netra Jyoti Sangh (NNJS), with financial support from FFO Norway – NFDN works to strengthen coordinated advocacy and human rights monitoring so that disability rights commitments are translated into practice at federal, provincial, and local levels.

A central goal of CADiR is to shift public and policy discourse on disability from a charity model toward a rights-based framework. Content created by and about persons with disabilities is one of the most powerful tools for achieving this shift. Through this call, NFDN invites individuals across Nepal to share original articles, stories, poetry, photo essays, audio, and video that challenge stereotypes, educate decision-makers, and demonstrate that disability inclusion is not optional – it is essential.

This call is open to:

• Persons with disabilities of any type, age, gender, or location – youth and women with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply;
• Parents, family members, and caregivers of persons with disabilities;
• Professionals, practitioners, and researchers working in the disability sector;
• Advocates, civil society representatives, and community leaders;
• Human rights educators and inclusion specialists.

NFDN is committed to reflecting the full diversity of disability – including physical, sensory, intellectual, psychosocial, and other impairments – in the contributions it selects.

Accepted Formats

• Articles or opinion pieces
• Essays or reflective writing
• Poetry
• Photo essays or visual storytelling
• Audio or video content
• Other creative formats that advance disability rights and inclusion

Written submissions should ideally not exceed 500 words. Audio and video submissions should not exceed five (5) minutes and must be submitted in high-resolution or high-quality format.

Priority Themes

All topics related to disability inclusion are welcome. Priority consideration will be given to content addressing:

• Inclusive climate change adaptation for persons with disabilities
• Disability-inclusive disaster risk reduction
• Advocacy and organizational development for disability rights
• Inclusive education
• Economic inclusion and sustainable livelihoods
• Access to health and rehabilitation services
• Access to justice for persons with disabilities
• Inclusive governance and political participation
• Emerging issues at the intersection of disability and human rights

To ensure that strong content is never overlooked simply because of limited social media reach, selection will operate through two distinct categories:

• Category A – Best Content Quality: Up to 10 contributions selected purely on editorial merit (see scoring rubric below). Social media reach is not a factor.
• Category B – Highest Outreach Impact: Up to 5 additional contributions recognized for strong reach and dissemination after publication, including social media engagement, website views, and readership .

In total, up to 15 contributions will be selected for publication, and up to 10 outstanding contributions – drawn from both categories – will receive special recognition and a financial honorarium or reward, as per NFDN/CADiR policy.

Submissions are evaluated independently by the Program Manager and Senior Project Coordinator, with final shortlists subject to NFDN senior management approval.

NFDN is committed to making this call genuinely accessible. You may submit your work through any of the following channels:

While these committees are central to local governance, there is a clear need for standardized guidance to enhance their operational capacity.

However, many LDCC members lack the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools to effectively perform their mandated functions. In order to address this gap, NFDN intends to develop a comprehensive, context-specific, and practical Training Manual for the Capacity Building of Local Disability Coordination Committees.

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 ।
