Social Security: Over 133.000 workers (35% women and 44% under 35 years) were reached by the services of the trade unions to ensure coverage of workers in the contributory Social Security Fund.
Vocational Training: 68 people (88% women and 60% below 35 years) received vocational skill training on tailoring, embroidery and self-employment from NTUC.
These activities from 2024 and others since 2022 contributed to the following impact:
Better coverage: More than 560 thousand workers have enrolled in the contributory social security fund which trade unions helped set up.
Better work: Nearly 800.000 workers have better working conditions: public teachers were re-instated, legal assistance led to factories improving, increased leave and festival allowances, self-organized welfare funds, better OHS policies and committees established, especially for tea plantation workers. 140 workers also improved their income after the vocational skill training.
- The Integrated SP framework and Leave No One Behind, which aim to provide the 28 million Nepali citizens with better and more coherent coverage;
