Introduction
Ethnic
Development Center (EDC) is a volunteer organization established
by a group of young and energetic Dalit youths in Doti District
for enabling and empowering the disadvantaged groups - Dalits and
other minorities. Dalits are the socalled “untouchable” castes who
are still being discriminated against in many social relations in
Nepal. EDC is carrying out activities in a number of areas such as
soil and water management, sanitation programmes and activities
related to gender issues.
MS is
working to improve the organizational capacities of EDC to help it
increase human resources and capabilities of Dalits and other
disadvantaged groups. A related focus of the partnership is thus
community empowerment through capacity building and advocacy.
