Abstract:
This case-study documents SNV's interventions, impact achieved and the changing relationship between SNV and excluded groups. It highlights lessons learned which are applicable to all development practitioners working both in international and national organisations. The case-study explains the implications of SNV's shift from an implementer to an enabling capacity builder. It is highly topical in that it provides an insight into the development of thinking around shifting power relations and how to enable empowerment through working with multiple partners. Messages are reinforced by short personal stories of empowerment of individual Chepang women and men. It was SNV's support to bee keeping which started the relationship with the Chepang, a marginalised indigenous people in Nepal.
