Grant Description

USAID/Nepal supported Education for Income Generation Program (EIG) was a five-year, $14.7 million program designed to respond to a root cause of conflict-exclusion of disadvantaged youth from education, training and employment opportunities.

This multifaceted program combined literacy and life skills education; technical and vocational training linked to employment; training to increase agricultural productivity and raise rural household incomes; and targeted scholarships for disadvantaged youth to increase access to higher level education.

EIGs primary beneficiaries were disadvantaged, conflict-affected and internally displaced youth throughout the Mid-Western Region of Nepal.
