About SUSTAIN
Globally, CARE seeks to increase resilience by focusing on how women, adolescent girls, children, and men can effectively plan for and manage shocks and stresses that threaten their well-being by analyzing the underlying causes of poverty and vulnerability, including gender inequality, and social exclusion.
In the year CARE Nepal continued to address governance challenges to promote pro-poor, gender equal and socially inclusive institutions and policies, protecting and promoting food and nutrition security, economic empowerment, and resilience to climate change among women and adolescent girls from poor, vulnerable socially excluded groups.
CARE Nepal also worked towards building local capacity of civil society institutions related to livelihoods, natural resources, and climate change which included improving governance and management of groups such as forestry user groups and the federation, farmer groups and networks, the Land Rights Forum and National Community Disaster Management Committees (NCDMCs).
