    Emergency Operation NEPAL EMOP 200768 Title: Emergency Food Assistance for Flood-Affected People in Mid-Western Nepal Number of beneficiaries 132,000 Duration of project 25 September 2014 – 25 March 2015 (starting date – end date) (six months) Gender Marker Code * 1 2a WFP food tonnage 2,168 Cost (United States dollars) Food and Related Costs 1,471,536 Cash and Vouchers and Related Costs 1,862,066 Capacity Development & Augmentation - DSC 533,376 ISC 270,688 Total cost to WFP 4,137,666 1 See WFP Gender Marker Guide, http://pgm.wfp.org/index.php/Topics:Gender_Marker. 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Despite significant progress in many social and human development indicators, Nepal remains one of the poorest and most food insecure countries in Asia. While the hills and mountainous regions register the highest stunting rates (42.3%), the plain area of the south, called Terrai, have the highest levels of wasting (15.8% versus a national average of 11.3%) and anemia (55.1% versus a national average of 46.4% for children and 51.6% versus 35% for women aged 15-49). Unusual heavy rainfall from 13 to 15 August 2014, triggered severe flash floods and landslides resulting in 256 deaths, and 255 people missing in 42 of the 75 districts across the country, particularly in the Terrai. Among these, Bardiya, Banke, Surkhet and Dang in the Mid-Western Development Region have been the worst affected districts. Several UN agencies and development partners undertook an Initial Rapid Assessment (IRA) in the affected districts. Following the request from the Government, WFP started an Immediate Response Emergency Operation (IR-EMOP 200763) to provide emergency food rations to meet the immediate food and nutritional needs of 80,000 people in Bardiya, Banke, Surkhet and Dang districts.
