(1) The proposed action will develop technical resources on livelihood sectors, including better production and marketing techniques. These resources can be used by I/NGOs in their livelihood projects. The market information will be extremely useful to farmers in and around the project and can be extended to them through other interventions taking place near the project area.
(2) The successful demonstration of the cooperative concept as a successful community-managed and owned institution will spill over to other areas. Technical knowledge in building and promoting cooperatives will be shared with other interested organizations.
(3) The NGO capacity-building component will not just be limited to the three partner NGOs. The action will share knowledge and skills in this context with other small and interested NGOs who wish to diversify and undertake innovative approaches in achieving organizational sustainability.
(4) At the policy-level, the proposed action will have an impact. Nepal is undergoing a political transformation with a newly elected government to be in place within one year of period from now, and several new policies and laws expected to be framed under the new permanent constitution. This will provide an opportunity for the organization and its local partner organisations to engage with the government through a number of project activities including: analytical studies, research and advocacy workshops and publications undertaken in the project will be highly useful resources for the policy development processes of the government.
