SAPPROS Nepal

SAPPROS Nepal, under JP RWEE II, successfully conducted two Nutrition Champions Training events in March.

These two-day trainings, featuring practical demonstrations, strengthened participants’ knowledge on nutrition, healthy diets and local food practices. The trained Nutrition Champions are now better equipped to promote improved nutrition and wellbeing in their communities.

Fifty lead farmers from five JP-RWEE project municipalities of Siraha and Saptari districts participated in a hands-on training on summer vegetable transplantation, aligned with both the school mid-day meal program and market-oriented production.
The training strengthened farmers’ practical skills on optimal spacing, pit layout, nutrient-rich pit filling, proper transplantation techniques, and organic mulching. This capacity-building initiative enhances crop establishment, improves productivity and quality, and supports reliable, safe vegetable supply for school nutrition while creating income opportunities through local markets.

From 15–17 November 2025, our Financial Autonomy and Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities through Agriculture (FAIDA) Project team successfully completed a three-day Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) training in Chitwan. The sessions enhanced our agriculture team’s technical capacity to promote sustainable, climate-resilient, and inclusive farming practices.
