Government of Nepal Department of Livestock Services High Mountain Agribusiness and Livelihood Improvement (HIMALI) Project (ADB Grant No.: 0248-NEP (SF)) Environemntal Compliance Monitoring Report of HIMALI Sub-projects (January to June, 2018) Preparaed By HIMALI Project Project Management Unit Harihar Bhawan, Pulchowk Lalitpur July, 2018 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The High Mountain Agribusiness and Livelihood Improvement (HIMALI) Project being implemented by the Ministry of Livestock Development (MoLD) with grant assistance from ADB intends to increase income and employment of high mountain people through value chain development of their niche agricultural, livestock and MAPs/NTFPs. The HIMALI Project (the Project) has considered environmental component to address environmental issues of sub-project (SP) implementation. The IEE report of the HIMALI Project has been approved by Ministry of Agriculture Development (MoAD) in August 2014. The SPs under HIMALI grant are category “C” project and do not require an individual EIA/IEE level of assessment. The environmental safeguard of GoN and ADB is satisfactorily addressed in SPs planning stages. Project procedural requirements such as screening of business plans, review of required documents and field verification are considered necessary during SP approval and planning phase. The Project has included environment management practice as a contractual document for approved SPs and grantees are oriented on environmental issues during contract. The Project has provided environment mitigation and monitoring plan to make the mitigation and monitoring more effective. Environment compliance status of 640 SPs has been reported till June, 2018. Spoil management, landslide control and drainage management are not the significant issues in SPs. Compost pits are constructed by most of the SPs. It is reported that a total of 7,770 trees were cleared during construction and implementation stage of SPs. 1,40,742 number of trees are planted as compensatory and additional plantation by these SPs. According to the data from district, about 48,532 fodder trees and 229,748 fruits plants and 19,797 Utis are planted by SPs of livestock, fruit cultivation and cardamom respectively. Grass cultivation is reported in 103 ha of land by livestock SPs. MAPs including Lokta and Argeli are cultivated on 70 ha of land (22 ha of private land and 41 ha of community forest). MAPs such as Chiraito, Atis are cultivated in 97 ha of land of which Chiraito contributes major percentage. Safety gears and work camp facilities are considered by most of the SPs. No social conflicts and impact to indigenous people were noticed due to SP implementation. The project has established Grievance Handling Mechanism in PMU and respective DPC offices. Till date, DPCs have received and redressed 24 grievances. Few practices such as water source management, grass land and forest management, land management, trees plantation, alternate agriculture practice, MAPs/NTFPs cultivation, bio-briquette production, livestock waste management and integrated pest and nutrient management during agri-business implementation have helped not only to moderate harm of climate change but also to exploit beneficial opportunities for mountain people to adapt changing climate. The project has received environmental monitoring reports from districts until March, 2018. i Considering need of increasing green grass availability for livestock development the project has distributed 4.9 metric ton of improved grass seed to government and NARC farms, and 10 project districts during reporting period. Distributed grass seed include White clover, Alfa alfa, Cocksfoot, and Rye grass. These seeds will increase availability of green grasses in coming season for the livestock which intern contribute in increasing milk production in the districts. The project through its Project Steering Committee meeting has coordinated with Ministry of Forestry for policy level decision to implement HIMALI Project activities effectively in project districts. Likewise, it has discussed and coordinated with forestry off district officials at department level in solving issues like collection of raw materials for sub-projects from the forest. ii ABBREVIATION ADB: Asian Development Bank AEC: Agro-Enterprise Centre BPs: Business Plans CITES: Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora CF: Community Forest CP: Compensatory Plantation DADO: District Agriculture Development Office DAES: District Agro-enterprise Specialist DAM: District Agribusiness Monitor DDC: District Development Committee DDR: Due Diligence Report DFO: District Forest Office DLSO: District Livestock Service Office DMC: District Monitoring Coordinator DMT: District Monitoring Team DPC: District Project Coordination EAM: Environment Assessment and Management ECMR: Environmental Compliance Monitoring Report EDDR: Environment Due-diligence Report EMMP: Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan GACs: Grant Assessment Committees GoN: Government of Nepal GRM: Grievance Redress Mechanism ha: Hectare HIMALI: High Mountain Agribusiness and Livelihood Improvement Project IEE: Initial Environmental Examination LNP: Langtang National Park MAPs: Medicinal and Aromatic Plants MoAD: Ministry of Agriculture Development MoLD: Ministry of Livestock Development NPWCs: National Parks and Wildlife Conserves NR: Not Reported NRs; Nepali Rupees NTFP: Non-timber Forest Product PMU: Project Management Unit RFTQC Regional Food Technology and Quality Control USD: US Dollar WC: Work Camp iii Table of Contents Executive Summary ........................................................................................................................................................... i Abbreviation ...................................................................................................................................................................... iii 1.

  • Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Rasuwa OSOCC Assessment Cell 10.05.2015
    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Rasuwa OSOCC Assessment Cell 10.05.2015 This report is produced by the OSOCC Assessment Cell based on secondary data from multiple sources, including the Government of Nepal, UNDAC, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organisation and media sources. I. Situation Overview Rasuwa is one of the worst affected districts by the 25 April earthquake. As of 8 May, 430 people have been reported killed and 753 injured (MoFA 08/05/2015). Most of those that died in the district were killed in an avalanche that buried inhabtants of Langtang village including tourists in the guesthouses. Some remote areas are yet to be reached or accounted for. More than 63% of the district’s territory is at an elevation of more than 3000 meters. Of the remaining territory, most parts are located at an elevation between 1000 – 3000 meters (University of Copenhagen 2005) and parts of Rasuwa were without road access even before the earthquake, further challenging the relief effort. In the first few days after the earthquake very little information was available from Rasuwa. Field reports have gradually come in that help understand thesituation. Initial estimates based on Government data of damaged buildings in the affected districts, suggests that 82% of the population of Rasuwa have been affected by the earthquake. According to Government data, 8,000 buildings were destroyed in the earthquake. This figure is however unconfirmed and represents a preliminary estimate based on the combination of reports from a range of sources providing information on needs at the VDC level1(Please see map below for an illustration of aggregated number of reported people in need).

The revised M&E Plan is consistent with the approved Annual Work Plan and the Program Description of the Cooperative Agreement (CA). This updated M&E has added/revised/updated targets to systematically align additional earthquake recovery funding added into the award through 8th modification of Hariyo Ban award to WWF to address very unexpected and burning issues, primarily in four Hariyo Ban program districts (Gorkha, Dhading, Rasuwa and Nuwakot) and partly in other districts, due to recent earthquake and associated climatic/environmental challenges. This updated M&E Plan, including its added/revised/updated indicators and targets, will have very good programmatic meaning for the program’s overall performance monitoring process in the future.
