Under the “Strengthening gender-responsive governance in Nepal” implemented by SAP Nepal with the financial support from UNDEF, to meet one of the objectives of “Enhanced capacity and networking of marginalized Musahar women to increase their participation in local governance process and planning.”, REFLECT session has been designed for creating platform for continuous engagement of the Musahar women in learning and leadership development process. In the first round of the reflect session, training on local government planning process was provided to 1525 members of 32 WoMEF groups of four municipalities (Haripur, Barathawa, Chandranagar and Basbariya) of Sarlahi.
In all 32 WoMEF groups, field supervisors facilitated reflect session on social accountability tools on different dates from March to April 2022. In the sessions, the facilitator provided introduction to the social accountability tools such as citizen report card, citizen’s charter and other commonly used tools along with highlighting the importance of using such tools. Since, these tools are highly technical, Musahar where majority of them are illiterate practice of such tools in the groups was not possible therefore tools basics were only introduced. The basic information about the commonly used social accountability tools was provided to 1523 Musahar women of 32 WoMEF groups.
