Livelihoods Recovery for Peace Project (LRP)
Abstract:
LRP is implemented in three of Nepal’s southern districts where poverty, conflict and natural disasters have hindered development. Lack of livelihood recovery opportunities and abject poverty seriously threaten peace and social harmony between peoples of multiple ethnicities. Women, youth, conflict-affected people, and poor and socially excluded communities are in particular need of livelihood recovery alternatives.

Lessons Learned: Nepal's Experience Implementing Sustainable Rural Tourism Development Model of Tourism for Rural Poverty Alleviation Programme
Abstract:
The Tourism for Rural Poverty Alleviation Programme (TRPAP) aims to improve the livelihood of people by harnessing their participation in tourism development activities. TRPAP is active in six districts of Nepal, namely Taplejung (Kangchenjunga), Solukhumbu (Everest), Rasuwa (Langtang), Chitwan, Rupandehi (Lumbini) and Dolpa. The Programme has focussed on raising awareness of tourism issues, and facilitated organisational responses through community participation. It has successfully formed a series of community groups and enabled local people to engage in tourism. TRPAP seeks to contribute to poverty alleviation in Nepal by mainstreaming pro-poor sustainable tourism policies, and developing strategies and innovative models that are pro-women, pro-environment and pro-communities. There are good opportunities for national and international pro-poor sustainable tourism practitioners to learn lessons from the TRPAP experience during its five years of implementation since September 2001. The Programme has trialled and developed different product models and institutional mechanisms that are appropriate for sustainable rural tourism at macro, meso and micro levels. Much of the activity has been at the field level and a range of further initiatives took place at the village, district and national levels.
