HCRDC, Kalikot  implemented Electoral Support Project  in Kalikot district with financial support of UNDP, Kathmandu. In the project, the key activity was Campaign to encourage women’s particpiation as candidates in local level elections by organizing District and  Community level trainings. A total of 2226 persons participated in this training, out which 1516 were female participants.

In this programme,  HCRDC, the local level partner  played its functional role as effectively as  possible despite of many hindrances. These are summarized as follows:

  • HCRDC utilized its internal resources to conduct district and community level trainings,  and the donar agency released financial resources  afterwards.
  • External manpower from other projects was mobilized despite the peak time for other project implementation.
  • Local level intelligentia, key persons, local level political party representatives and secretaries of all the 3 municipalities and 6 gaonpalikas were consulted in order to select  training participants fairly , and decide on the venue of the training unanimously.
  •  Logistic support was initially provided by  HCRDC and  financial support was received from the donor later.
  • HC RDC organised and jointly facilitated district level TOT training for 25 trainees with master trainer from Nepal Administrative Staff College,
