Who we are World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. Motivated by our Christian faith, World Vision is dedicated to working with the world’s most vulnerable people. World Vision serves all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender. Area Development Programme (ADP) ADP is our primary approach to carry out the transformational development in the community where we work. ADP is a long term development programme (10 to 15 years) in which World Vision works with the poor and its partners in specific, defined, targeted geographical locations to address micro and macro poverty issues in the sectors of Maternal Child Health and Nutrition, Education, Livelihood, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Child Protection.. World Vision started out in Korea in 1950 to meet the needs of children orphaned by the war in Korea. From there, the programme expanded to other Asian nations and gradually spread to nearly a hundred countries. World Vision in Nepal World Vision first started its development initiatives in Nepal in 1982 by donating funds to local groups for building hospitals and providing health care. In response to the 1988 earthquake, World Vision supported local non-governmental organisations in providing assistance to quake victims. Likewise, in 1993, World Vision helped flood victims through local partners. World Vision formally started its long-term development work in Nepal after signing both general and project agreement with the Social Welfare Council in 2001. Over the past years, World Vision International Nepal (WVIN) has funded community development and currently we are operational in 14 districts namely Bhaktapur, Doti, Jumla, Kathmandu, Kaski, Kailali, Lamjung, Lalitpur, Morang, Rupandehi, Sunsari, Udayapur, Achham and Sindhuli. 1
Dear Friends I am happy to share with you the annual review of the activities, achievements, and challenges of World Vision International Nepal (WVIN) during FY 2012. The past year has been a year of achievement in terms of expanding Area Development Programme (ADP) coverage. During FY 2012, WVIN opened three new ADPs. One was in Sindhuli district and the other two were in Achham and Doti where WVIN already had two ADPs in both districts. With multiple ADPs in one district, greater support can be provided to that district in a cost-effective manner. We are thankful to World Vision Canada and World Vision Singapore for funding these new ADPs. We now support a total of 17 ADPs. By 2014 four ADPs – Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, and Kaski – will come to the end of their lifespan. As an ADP comes to the end of its life, WVIN works with the communities and government to evaluate the sustainability of programme impact, and to try to ensure that systems are in place to maintain the achievement once the ADP closes. Development is one of WVIN’s core areas of work, along with advocacy and humanitarian emergency affairs. A National Office Disaster Management committee was formed to provide policy support and oversee the disaster management portfolio at WVIN. WVIN responded to disasters at the community level and continued to work with government and non-government organisations to develop District Disaster-Preparedness and Response Plans, and supported District Disaster Relief Committees (DDRC) of Morang, Rupandehi, Kaski, and Jumla districts. The Child Health Now (CHN) campaign was successfully launched during the past year with events involving WVIN staff, government officials, partners, and community stakeholders spreading the key message, Message from National Director “Together we can end preventable death”. CHN is World Vision’s global campaign to end the preventable death of children under five. Through the Child Health Now campaign, World Vision is calling on the international community to meet its Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of reducing maternal and child deaths by 2015 - specifically MDG 4 and 5. Child Health Now in Nepal aims to contribute to reducing child mortality in disadvantaged areas of Nepal in line with MDG 4, particularly in the poorest and most disadvantaged communities. During the year, over 210,000 children and their family members participated in World Vision-supported activities in community development, relief, and advocacy. These activities focused on the programme sectors of MCHN, Education, Livelihood, WASH and Child Protection. WVIN also worked to review its strategy aligning it with all our systems and processes to ensure achievement of our Child Well-being objectives. As the country faces new sets of challenges with the second Constituent Assembly elections in the offing, WVIN strives to ensure children are healthy, educated for life, experience the love of God and their neighbours, and are cared for, protected and can participate. Lastly, I am grateful to all staff, partners and donors who have contributed towards the work of WVIN during the past year and look forward to another year of collaboration. Sincerely, Michael Frank National Director Annual Review 2012 2
