Strengthening Inclusive Education in Nepal (Sikai) Project- Mid Term Review Brief

Strengthening Inclusive Education in Nepal (Sikai) Project was designed with the goal of: ‘Most vulnerable children access and participate equally in education and achieve equitable learning outcomes in basic education in the target district’. The project focuses on three main outcomes: improving school structures to encourage inclusive education (IE), changing the behaviours of parents and communities concerning children’s education, and improving the policy framework and service delivery of rural municipalities to affect IE.
