USAID and Breakthrough ACTION Nepal’s Reducing Child, Early, and Forced Marriage (R-CEFM) project is an initiative implemented in Madhesh Province. The project is designed to strengthen the institutional and technical capacity of the Government of Nepal (GON) to design, implement, monitor, evaluate, and coordinate effective social and behavior change and child protection systems strengthening activities for R-CEFM.
