A Training of Trainers (TOT) programme under the CHANEL Project was successfully conducted at Hotel Kuti, Lakeside, Pokhara, from Baisakh 6–8, 2083 (April 18–20, 2026).
Organised by Women ACT, Kathmandu, the programme focused on identifying and addressing key barriers faced by women entrepreneurs in achieving economic independence. It also emphasised the importance of reducing harmful social norms and promoting Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI).
More than 35 women entrepreneurs from three municipalities of Gandaki Province—Pokhara Metropolitan City, Machhapuchchhre Rural Municipality, and Hupsekot Rural Municipality—actively participated in the training.
Participants engaged in interactive discussions and capacity-building sessions aimed at strengthening their ability to support women-led initiatives and foster inclusive economic growth. The initiative is expected to contribute to long-term social and economic empowerment of women and girls in vulnerable communities across Nepal.
