UNDP’s Social Cohesion and Democratic Participation Programme (SCDP) extended its support to community-based civil society organizations in select seven programme districts (Panchthar, Sunsari, Chitwan, Banke, Bardiya, Kailali and Kanchanpur) to pilot an initiative to bring divided communities together through micro grants. In late 2016, the four-month grants funded a diverse array of activities, tailored to the specific dynamics of localized situations, which encouraged communities to work together for a common good and build and maintain a cohesive society. The 12 micro grants brought together members representing diverse social groups, including women, youth, marginalized communities and religious leaders, which share histories of friction and hostilities. The grants facilitated to mutually benefit the recipient communities through collective actions.
The brief stories in the Building Blocks of Social Ties navigates through different tiny towns and far-flung villages from the eastern hills to the southern plains of the Far Western region and tells how agile support brings hope and facilitates cultural exchange and knowledge transfer among diverse
communities in vulnerable villages and its vicinities. It contains accounts of the people whose common efforts brought divided communities together to build and maintain a cohesive society. The collection of brief stories intends to help pave a way forward, leading to similar initiatives in the future.
