The SIDA-SANKALP Project, implemented by Everest Club in Dailekh, has significantly contributed to strengthening child rights governance and ensuring meaningful child participation. One of the key milestones achieved was the successful reformation of child networks in two municipalities— Narayan (25 members) and Aathabis (21 members).

A landmark achievement was the first-ever Local Child Rights Committee meeting in Narayan Municipality. This meeting provided an opportunity for children to directly engage with local authorities, express their concerns, and advocate for child-friendly policies.
A two-day training on child rights advocacy and campaigning benefited 45 children (25 girls and 20 boys). The training covered:
The project facilitated the formulation of child protection and advocacy plans to ensure sustained child participation in governance. These plans serve as guiding frameworks for addressing child protection concerns.
