Jagaran Nepal has overcome several challenges and hurdles in its journey which has become learning opportunities for organizations for its future works. Some of the challenges that we have faced are:

• Lack of well coordination, coexistence and communication in between political representatives and bureaucrats, which became challenging during the program implementation.
• Due to changes and differences in priorities between the local administration and the local government, there was uncertainty and difficulty in implementing projects as well.
• Due to federal structure, there are permanent and strong local government however; it needs to have strategies to influence decisions makers at the local, provinces and federal government so that new policies and laws are gender sensitive and inclusive.
• For local government, software supports of the CSO's are not a priority rather than their own hardware support program. In this context, less priority by local government creates problems in implementation of the project.
• Female leader, face specific problems due to gender stereotyoing. For examples, female representatives were less acknowledged and their voice was less heard by the community people compared to male representatives. Community people still judge the authority and competence of elected representatives by their sex and gender roles not by their performance.
