Job Description
The Advancing Civic Engagement for Democratic Participation (Civic Engagement) Project is a joint initiative of UNDP Nepal and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) in Nepal. It is designed to strengthen inclusive and accountable governance in Nepal by expanding democratic civic space for citizens, particularly young people.
Under this initiative, Hami DajuVai (HDV) has partnered with UNDP Nepal for implementation of “Intergenerational Policy Dialogue Series on Youth Civic Engagement”. This initiative aims to foster meaningful youth civic participation and establish constructive, collaborative policy pathways between generations. By creating structured advocacy spaces, these dialogue series bridge the gap between youth, priorities, evidence-based research, and formal policymaking. They bring together young advocates and seasoned policymakers to exchange perspectives, identify systemic policy bottlenecks, co-create actionable policy recommendations, and jointly advocate for democratic accountability.
Crucially, this initiative is designed not merely as a set of one-off events, but as a sustained, institutionalized process for intergenerational partnership. It offers a timely and constructive mechanism for collaborative civic engagement in Nepal, particularly in navigating the evolving aspirations and active civic expressions of the younger generation known as Gen-Z.
