Yuwalaya is a youth-led civil society organisation based in Lalitpur, Nepal, working since 2013 to promote the rights, dignity, and sustainable livelihoods of marginalised girls, young women, and women workers. As an implementing partner of Oxfam Nepal's Valuing Women's Work (VWW) Gender Justice project, Yuwalaya has deep community roots in Lalitpur's domestic worker communities and a strong track record of rights-based advocacy, women's organising, and livelihood programming.

The Skills for Dignified Work project is a 7-month initiative funded by Oxfam In Nepal (OIN) targeting 25 young women (aged 18–35) from low-income, Dalit, Janajati, migrant, and other marginalised households engaged in domestic and informal labour in Lalitpur. The project delivers six integrated outputs;

Domestic workers are classed as ‘unskilled helpers’, which limits the wages they can ask for and the jobs they can reach. Output 1 enrolls the women in TVET/CTEVT-certified courses in market-demanded skills of their choice, such as advanced housekeeping, cleaning services, etc. subject to market demand and course availability. Output 5 aims for at least 20 women to secure written contracts with dignified income more than current income.

This assignment connects the two, i.e. training partner is also an employer-linked partner.

Interested candidates should send the following to [email protected] and [email protected] with the subject line "Application for Private-Sector Partner ":

Applications from women-led institutions and institutions led by Dalit and Janajati communities are strongly encouraged.

Yuwalaya reserves the right to negotiate the scope, plans or fee with shortlisted institutions. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further discussion.
