With the goal of promoting the rights of persons with disabilities and ensuring their full participation in society, Joint Efforts for Inclusive Development (JEID) program will be implemented from 2025 to 2029. The program aims to remove attitudinal, physical, social, legal, and institutional barriers that limit the opportunities of persons with disabilities, guided by the motto "Nothing about us without us." The program will be implemented across five thematic areas: human rights and organization development, inclusive education, economic empowerment, health and rehabilitation, and inclusive climate change adaptation. All These thematic areas will be led by organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) in consortium partnership with I/NGOs. The consortium consists of 13 partners, including 7 Nepali and 6 Norwegian organizations. 

JEID will be implemented across all 7 provinces of Nepal, covering 27 districts and 72 municipalities. The program will collaborate with 36 schools to create inclusive environments that ensure access to quality education for learner with disabilities. 

The program is currently in the planning phase. NAB is leading the consortium in Nepal, while the Norwegian Association of the Blind and Partially Sighted (NABP) is leading the consortium in Norway. Five thematic groups have been formed within this program. NAB will lead Economic Empowerment and Health and Rehabilitation, PFPID will lead Inclusive Education, and NFDN will lead Human Rights, Organization Development, and Climate Change Adaptation. The Country Coordinator will oversight and strategic direction for these thematic leads. 

Additionally, the Monitoring and Evaluation team and the Country Program Committee, will ensure that each aspect of the program runs smoothly and meets its objectives. This consortium of OPDs and I/NGOs represents an innovative approach in Nepal and will play a key role in mainstreaming disability within I/NGOs.
