  • STRIDE Service Coverage Assessment USAID, Nepal
    STRIDE Service Coverage Assessment USAID, Nepal Order number: AID-367-O-16-00004 March 12, 2017 Anders Eklund Worldwide Rehabilitation Ltd. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Nepal, like other countries in the region, has a substantial number of people who need physical rehabilitation. The 10-year civil conflict and the earthquake in April 2015 contributed to increasing that need. The Strengthening Rehabilitation in District Environs (STRIDE) program seeks to ensure that sustainable, accessible and quality physical rehabilitation services and community-based follow-up are provided for people with physical disabilities. The program is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by Handicap International (HI) with sub-awards to five physical rehabilitation centers (PRCs) in four of the country's five regions. It was launched in January 2010 and is now in its second three-year extension (ending in January 2019). STRIDE plays an important role in the Nepali rehabilitation sector. To date, STRIDE PRCs have successfully provided physical rehabilitation services to more than 40,000 persons, including the delivery of more than 7200 prostheses and orthoses, 1200 wheelchairs and 4300 mobility aids. Services are normally center-based, but are also provided through outreach rehabilitation camps and field visits (so far reaching 52 of Nepal's 75 districts), with community disability workers (CDWs) conducting follow-up in the field. The main question that the present service coverage assessment sets out to answer is to what degree the physical rehabilitation services in Nepal, and in particular those of the five STRIDE PRCs, are able to meet the country's rehabilitation needs.

    Government of Nepal Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation Department of Forests Makawanpur District Forest Office Forest Fire Management Plan Makawanpur District January 2008 Prepared by: Sundar P. Sharma Krishna P. Acharya P. Daniel Kraus Ananta Ram Bhandari Kiran Timalsina Supported by: Ri lSth Government of Nepal Department of Forest Foreword Forest fire is considered as a problem in forest management systems in Nepal since we have not been able to use it as a management tool. The Fire Management Plan; the first of its kind in Nepal; is an important initiation to safeguard forest and biological resources by reducing fire damages through mobilizing government, non-government, private sector, civil society and local people. The Plan is prepared with the support of the Foreign Office, Federal Republic of Germany, Office for Humanitarian Assistance and the Global Fire Monitoring Center. The preparation of the Plan is based on the substantial efforts and assistance from numerous experts, professionals, organizations, and local communities who extensively shared their ideas and expertise. I would like to express sincere thanks to all those who contributed to this effort. I am thankful to the plan preparation team of Mr. Sundar Prasad Sharma, Mr. Krishna Prasad Acharya, Mr. P. Daniel Kraus, Mr. Ananta Ram Bhandari and Mr. Kiran Timilsina for their contributions. Moreover, I am greatful to Mr. Rishi Ram Tripathi, District Forest Officer of Makawanpur and his team, community forest user groups and local communities for their inputs. I believe that successful implementation of this plan will be instrumental in shaping future forest management strategies in Nepal.
