Youth Vision was founded in 1985. Nepal is included in Bridging the Gaps 2 as one of the countries with a focus on people who use drugs. Mainline has been partnering with Youth Vision for over 10 years.
Activities
Based on a Mainline baseline study and situation analysis, enriched with stakeholder interviews and in accordance with Youth Vision, a work plan and budget have been set up for 2016, thereby aligning this project with existing programmes and policies in Nepal. The focus in 2016 will be on effective outreach work of Needle and Syringe Programming in two districts of Kathmandu Valley.
A mapping exercise is executed by Nai Zindagi from Pakistan; a senior partner in Bridging the Gaps 2. The goal is to assess the total number of injecting drug users in Kathmandu Valley. As a result of this mapping, Youth Vision and Mainline look for new ways to reach people through mobile service delivery.
Furthermore, Mainline will look into the possibility of collaborating with international and national network organisation to provide more lobby and advocacy support. In addition, Mainline will strengthen Youth Vision’s capacity.
