A Review on CARE Nepal’s Activities on
Urban Poverty Reduction in Nepal
Abstract:
A national level study on urban poverty
in Nepal is lacking. However, there are several case studies on the
poor, health situation of women and children at Kathmandu valley. The studies show that the urban poverty is more complex than
rural poverty. The level of
unemployment correlates negatively with the level of affluence.
Therefore, employment generation for the poor is a must in the urban
sector. In this context CARE Nepal initiated ‘Urban Development Project 2006-2008’. This study was
to review the activities and experiences on urban poverty and social
justice. The study had also recommended for extensive urban sector
survey specifically on slum/squatter settlements, street children, poor
women in commercial sex market, and porters/unskilled transportation
workers.
