November 2024: Donor meeting 2024. Presentation of results by Deepak and Yogendra.
In November 28th the Karuna Foundation NL organized a “Donor Day” for 15 donors to present the progress and results of the implementation of DPRP in Koshi Province Nepal. The two directors from Nepal: Deepak and Yogendra gave a presentation on three topics: 1) the progress and results of DPRP phase 1; 2) the progress, results, and challenges in the implementation of DPRP 2.0 and 3) options for scaling to new provinces. Three new provinces have shown their interest in the implementation of DPRP. However, one of them, the Karnali province, is the most serious and has drafted a policy paper. Karuna Foundation Nepal is still discussing the cost-sharing modality with them and started fundraising for this expansion. Also, the DPRP is being introduced in countries like Congo, Kenya, Uganda, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh by local NGOs who visited Karuna Foundation Nepal and learn from them.
