DEADLINE: IRP Reporting Trip to Nepal

Event Date: 
February 16, 2015

The International Reporting Project (IRP) is now taking applications for an expenses-paid group reporting trip to Nepal from April 25 to May 7, 2015. Deadline to apply is Feb 16th.

Although Nepal is known as the home to Earth's tallest peak, Mt. Everest, and for its abundance of trekking and climbing options, little about health and development in the country garners headlines. In the past decade, Nepal emerged from a difficult civil war and has worked to address its many challenges in these areas.

The trip will focus on health and development in Nepal, particularly in light of the upcoming end of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the potential adoption of Sustainable Development Goals.

In particular, we will examine nutrition and food security, education, access to roads and electricity, sanitation and water, poverty, sustainability, technology, equality and women's rights, and the impact of infectious diseases. Participants in the trip will meet with key government leaders, representatives of nongovernmental organizations, members of the business community, religious and media leaders and others.
