In Nepal, the Rural Women's Economic Empowerment Joint Programme, implemented by UN Women, Food and Agriculture Organization, International Fund for Agricultural Development and World Food Programme, and funded by a consortium of donors seeks to improve women farmers’ agricultural production and income, but also changed gender-discriminatory attitudes of their male counterparts.
Rural women form a large proportion of the agricultural labour force in Nepal and play a vital yet unrecognized role in agriculture that sustains nearly 80 percent of the population. Perceived mainly as care givers, their work in farming is largely undervalued. Women farmers are often paid less than men for the same work, and lack access to resources and markets due to discriminatory attitudes. However, since the launch of the Joint Programme, a new narrative is unfolding across the villages of Rauthat and Sindhuli districts.
As more Nepalese men migrate abroad to find work, an increasing number of rural women are taking up farming. By improving women’s agricultural production, access to markets and leadership skills, the programme has increased their income, food security and independence.
Pictured: Chandra Kala Thapa, one of many smallholder women farmers from Ranichuri village in Sindhuli district, was barely able to produce enough grains to feed her family. With support from the Joint Programme, she converted her field from grain production to high-value vegetables. “Now the prices are good and the money comes on time. This was not the case when I used to cultivate grains instead of high-value vegetables,” she says.

Customs officers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, and Viet Nam participated in a week-long regional training in Da Nang, Viet Nam, in July 2025, organized by UNODC under the Law Enforcement Assistance Programme (LEAP). The programme offered trainer-focused skills such as presentation techniques, audience engagement, adult learning, and interactive teaching methods. By preparing officers to train others, LEAP ensures that knowledge and expertise are shared widely across Southeast Asia and the Pacific, supporting more effective enforcement and helping authorities tackle illegal timber trade and deforestation.
The programme included a hands-on visit to Da Nang Port, where local authorities gave participants practical insights into their day-to-day operations. Photo: © UNODC / Laura Gil
Pour programmer les CPLD, on n'installe pas habituellement le connecteur sur la plaquette. Il n'est pas soudé. On fait juste insérer un connecteur avec des pins dedons, on le plus sur le côté pour qu'il y ait comme une tension des pins dans les trous et on le maintient en place le temps qu'on programme, durant les quelques secondes que ça dure.
