1. Introduction/Background/Context
This Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWAB) of NGO-Federation of Nepalese Indigenous Nationalities (NGO-FONIN) is for the period of 17 Ashadh 2066 to 32 Ashadh 2067 (1 July 2009 – 16 July 2010). The AWAB is part of NGO-FONIN's Strategic and Operational Plan (StOP). This is developed as a tool to implement the activities outlined in the StOP on a yearly basis. As a blueprint of NGO-FONIN for the next five years, the StOP is the base for developing AWAB. AWAB also provides means of monitoring quantitative and financial achievements against NGO-FONIN’s specific targets and taking necessary corrective measures. AWAB is a management tool and control mechanism to be used for guiding prudent resource allocation and management and for timely execution of the activities.
In the process of developing the AWAB, NGO-FONIN Board and staff discussed the plan and current issues and priorities. The plan also incorporated the recommendations of the ODC Institutional Assessment report on NGO-FONIN. Since this is the first and transitional year for implementing the StOP, the AWAB is prepared for twelve and a half months starting from 17 Ashadh 2066 and ending on 32 Ashadh 2067 (July 1, 2009 - July 16, 2010). Therefore, this AWAB consists of four quarters in which the first quarter will be of three and a half months. The Fiscal Year (FY) for NGO-FONIN will be Nepali FY that starts from 1st Shrawan and ends with Ashadh every year of Nepali calendar.
The AWAB has also incorporated the activities and budgets of some ongoing program activities of NGO-FONIN funded by other international partner organizations. AWAB being a dynamic document, NGO-FONIN will always be ready to address any challenges arising concerning its focus of work and incorporate corrective actions accordingly.
The following International partners have committed to support for the activities mentioned in the AWAB.
DanidaHUGOU and Action Aid Nepal (AAN) are NGO-FONIN's Strategic Partners. UNDP is an existing International Partner. ILO is an expected partner. Consultations are ongoing with many potential International Partners, including the Lutheran World Federation and International Labour Organisations, ESP/DFID and Asia Indigenous Peoples’ Pact (AIPP).
