Civil Society Empowerment for Accountable Education

Led by Karkhana Samuha in partnership with the Dalit Society Service Organization (DSSO), the CSE project strengthens civil society engagement to promote transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in Nepal’s education policies and implementation. Supported by Education Out Loud (EOL) under the Global Partnership for Education, the project builds CSO capacity to use data, digital innovation, and advocacy for equitable, inclusive, and evidence-based education reform.
