Educational Resource and Development Center Nepal (ERDCN)

Life Long Learning Opportunity through  Community Learning Centre (CLC) for Changing Livelihood

ERDCN has been implementing functional educational programme in order to alleviate illiteracy and poverty. It is important that functional literacy as a foundation of lifelong learning process is a means for livelihood enhancement. Hence, any sorts of vocational or entrepreneurship skills will be associated with literacy in order to make this functional.  ERDCN facilitates the process of strengthening CLC which is known as an avenue for education and development discourses at the local level.  ERDCN promotes technical and vocational education (hard skills and soft skills) such as punctuality, planning, mediation, analysis and reasoning to address the needs of out of school adolescent girls and boys. ERDCN provides technical support to income generation groups for marketing of the local products within and outside the country. Similarly, life skills related knowledge based activities (cope with stress, disaster management, risk management, counseling etc.) will be included in functional literacy and training as required.
