Evidence-Based Initiatives of FIAN Nepal on Right to Food Policies, Programmes & Practices in Nepal Evidence-based Initiatives of FIAN Nepal on Right to Food Policies, Programmes & Practices in Nepal Editors: Prof. Dr. Keshab Khadka Basant Adhikari Nirmal Gadal Buddhi Ram Chaudhary Mabin Ghale Food-first Information and Action Network (FIAN) Nepal © FIAN Nepal, 2014 Published by: Food-first Information and Action Network (FIAN) Nepal Kupondole, Lalitpur, P.O. Box: 11363 Tel.: +977-1-5011609, 5527152, 5527650 Fax: +977-1-5527834 Website: http://www.fiannepal.org Email: [email protected] Disclaimer: The information and opinions presented in the research studies are entirely of the writers and do not necessarily reflect the official views and opinions of FIAN Nepal to which the writers are affiliated. Acknowledgement FIAN Nepal has identified six thematic areas towards strengthening right to food movement in Nepal. They are: 1. food and access to natural resource and services, 2. right to water (inclusive of access to irrigation, water privatization distortions and access to safe drinking water), 3. agricultural inputs (i.e., seeds, fertilizers, government services, resource mobilization), 4. women/marginalized sections/Dalits, 5. extra territorial obligations, and 6 . food aid and labour (farm labour and diaspora). Since its establishment, FIAN Nepal is exploring these thematic areas and advocating for the protection and promotion of human right to food, with specific focus on vulnerable people and communities of Nepal. In this process, FIAN Nepal has pursued evidence- based analyses on the above thematic areas either by making use of case studies or researches, the results of which are compiled here - as research works on Food Aid, Access to Natural Resources, Seed Policy, and Climate Change. These reports are FIAN Nepal’s initiatives to explore the situation as it is, identify the gaps and make appropriate recommendations therein. Several experts and individuals have supported to bring this report in this form. Particularly, the contributors for research work, Ms. Basudha Gurung, National Program Advisor and Mr. Ganga Acharya, Program Coordinator deserve great appreciation for initiating these studies and for her contribution to finalize these studies. Mr. Somat Ghimire, Mr Jailab Kumar Rai, Dr. Krishna Prasad Poudel, Dr. Laya Prasad Upreti, Mr. Basudev Regmi, Mr. Madan Thapa, and Ms. Prakriti Kasyap have played instrumental roles in this regard. Hence, they deserve special thanks from FIAN Nepal. These research reports went through extensive editing and formatting for publication in this form. It has been possible through the collective efforts of the editorial team, FIAN Nepal's members and staffs. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to bring this publication at its present format without the painstaking support of all the above members in such a short time frame. Therefore, I would like to thank them who extensively contributed to hatch this maiden volume of research reports. Ms. Sabine Pabst, Dr. Ana María Suárez Franco of FIAN International also deserve special thanks for supporting us in different ways shaping the research study and improving the report. The financial support from our partners, the EED/Bread for the World and Misereor Germany are highly appreciated in this regard. Finally, FIAN Nepal acknowledges the dedication and contributions of all involved in the course of this noble task. Hope to receive your constructive suggestions to improve our future publications. Thank you, Dr. Sarba Raj Khadka Chairperson Foreword Right to Food was buzz word in Nepal amongst human rights activists during early 1990s as ensuing aurora of new found democracy ushered with Government’s commitment to International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, 1966. The then Prime Minister Mr. Krishna Prasad Bhattarai had courageously ratified the ICESCR on 14 May 1991 (31 Baisakh 2048) amidst wide disagreement and tense debate that whether it was advisable to add “extra burden on fledgling democracy". Of course, this noble event proved seminal to invoke series of new initiatives on promoting and protecting right to food that culminated the surging tide of civil society protest during World Food Summits in 1996 itself against food security approach based on profit hungry markets, more pronouncedly in 2002 at WFS +5. Actually, the commitments of MDGs to halve the hunger toll populace across the globe by 2015 (now a mockery!) dazzled the human right to adequate food activists in those last years of 20th century promoting both national and international interests . Taking into account of Nepal's committment to international human rights norms and standards, FIAN Nepal has commissioned research studies on four issues that contribute the realization of human right to food in Nepal. The four studies on Food Aid, Access to Natural Resources, Seed Policy, and Climate Change presented here cover thematic concerns having direct bearing on hunger and food and as diverse as the legal and delivery mechanisms, the food aid, access to natural resources, seed and breed perspectives, and climate change. These topical issues are extensively explored in the emerging socio-political contexts of Nepal and Nepalese society in a much disaggregated manner focusing on innocent yet affected people, the ultimate right holders. At a time when zero-hunger/zero-poverty agenda finds all pervading features of Post- MDGs framework, these Nepalese replica may showcase some examples to generalize broader development agenda across poor and low-performing developing world. FIAN Nepal nurtures a conviction that zero-hunger world requires fundamental paradigm shift: poor and disgraced as right- holders and the state as well as the political stalwarts as duty-bearers. The required shift in value system and principles thereof include rights, equality, justice, peace, sustainability and partnership for development not in the lip-service fashion but through increased responsibility. It has already been high time to delve in general value premises: freedom, equality, solidarity, tolerance, respect for nature and shared responsibility. Truly, the justice delivery needs definite targets and measurable and verifiable indicators, both outcome indicators and process indicators. FIAN Nepal will feel highly encouraged if this maiden effort goes serviceable, however, insignificant it may be, in this process. We humbly welcome and are committed to remain grateful to our valued readership for comments and suggestions for our guidance. – the editors Table of Content 1.

The impact, performance and effectiveness of food aid schemes in Nepal have been continuously under debate among development planners, political actors and social activists. There is no doubt that food aid, if placed adequately, can clearly impact the right to food in at least during emergency situations. It will enable state to fulfill obligations to fulfill right to adequate food. However, food aid in western hill district has been criticized as it has increased dependency syndrome on food. This study conducted by Mr. Somat Ghimire has reviewed existing food aid programs implemented by government of Nepal through Nepal Food Corporation, Program implemented by World Food Program and other International food aid agencies and tried to examine existing food aid programme in the right to food perspectives. The study was conducted through field observation, focus group discussion and interview of key informants. This study has reveled realistic picture of impact of food aid and also identified several points for improvement on existing food aid related program modalities, approaches and strategies of food aid program to contribute for sustainability of local agricultural system. We hope, summery of the study published as this article will be interesting and useful for the readers.

  • Pray for Nepal
    Pray for Nepal Humla Mugu Jumla Kalikot Dolpa Karnali, Mugu Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Thank-You for committing to join with us to pray for the well-being of every village in our wonderful country. Jesus modeled his love for every village when he was going from one city and village to another with his disciples. Next, Jesus would mentor his disciples to do the same by sending them out to all the villages. Later, he would monitor the work of the disciples and the 70 as they were sent out two-by-two to all the villages. (Luke 8-10) But, how can we pray for the 3,984 VDCs in our Country? In the time of Nehemiah, his brother brought him news that the walls of Jerusalem were torn down. The wall represented protection, safety, blessing, and a future. Nehemiah prayed, fasted, and repented for the sins of the people. God answered Nehemiah’s prayers. The huge task to re-build the walls became possible through God’s blessings, each person building in front of their own houses, and the builders continuing even in the face of great persecution. For us, each village is like a brick in the wall. Let us pray for every village so that there are no holes in the wall. Each person praying for the villages in their respective areas would ensure a systematic approach so that all the villages of the state would be covered in prayer. Some have asked, “How do you eat an Elephant?” (How do you work on a giant project?) Others have answered, “One bite at a time.” (One step at a time - in small pieces).

  • Chapter – I Introduction
    CHAPTER – I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Tourism is a multidimensional concept or activities which has been defined in different ways by various authors and concerned organizations and yet there is no universally accepted definition of tourism. The origin of tourism can be traced to the earliest period of human habitation on the globe. Tourism word derived from Latin word ‘Tornos’ means turners wheel or moving around and which is related to travelling in difference places. The concept of “round trip” or “package tour” is developed from the word Tornos or Tourism. It was generally started to use in 13th century but innovatively it was used after the 19th century in a wide-range. There are four different perspectives to comprehend tourism in detail. The Tourist: The tourist seeks various psychic and physical experiences and satisfactions. The nature of these will largely the destinations chosen and the activities enjoyed. Service provider Business people: Business people see tourism as an opportunity to make a profit by supplying the goods and services that the tourist market demands. The government of the host community or Area: Politicians view tourism as a wealth factor in the economy for their jurisdictions. Their perspective is related to the incomes their citizen can earn from their business. Politicians also consider the foreign exchange receipts from international tourism as well as the tax receipts collected from tourist expenditures, either directly or indirectly. The 1 government can play and important role in tourism policy, development, promotion and implementation. The Host community: Local people usually see tourism as cultural and employment factor of importance to the group, for example is the effect of the interaction between large number of international visitors and residents.

  • Assessment of Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trafficking in Banke- Kamdi Complex
    Assessment of Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trafficking in Banke- Kamdi Complex Submitted to: Hariyo Ban Program Baluwatar, Kathmandu, Nepal Submitted by: People’s Help Group (PHG) Kathmandu, Nepal July, 2017 © WWF Nepal 2017 All rights reserved Disclaimer: This report is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The contents of this report are the responsibility of People’s Help Group (PHG) and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. Executive Summary Wildlife crime is a serious issue in conservation particularly of the threatened species of wild flora and fauna globally. Several endangered species such as Asian big cats, elephants and rhinoceros are at the verge of extinction if the current trend of wildlife crime is not retarded. The illegal wildlife trade is among the leading causes for rapid wildlife species decline worldwide (McMurray, 2008). Similarly, Nepal cannot be exception to this situation; the country has been known as transit for illegal wildlife trade and a source for some of the illegally traded species such as rhino horns, tiger and leopard pelts and pangolin scales. Despite various efforts to control wildlife crime, such crime still exists sporadically and in low volume in the country. The Banke-Kamdi complex is located in the (Mid-western region, State No.6) and covers part of Banke, Dang and Salyan districts. This Complex comprises of Banke National Park (BaNP), its Buffer Zone and Kamdi forest corridor. At present, Kamdi Corridor is under the Banke District Forest and is one of the most important biological corridors of Tarai Arc Landscape.

  • CEDAW) 58Th Session, June 2014
    Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) 58th session, June 2014 Fourth and Fifth Review – India THE RIGHT TO ADEQUATE FOOD OF WOMEN IN INDIA Submitted by FIAN India 1. HUNGER AND MALNUTRITION IN INDIA As per the State of Food Insecurity in the World1, India remains home to the largest number of undernourished people in the world: 213 million (17% of its population) between 2011 and 2013. Considering various poverty norms, about 75% of the Indian population suffers from hunger and malnutrition to varying degrees, 50% of it acutely. The Global Hunger Index (GHI) ranks India at 63 with a score of 21.3 among 120 countries, classifying its situation as within the ‘alarming’ category2. The report also noted that India continued to record one of the highest prevalences of children under five who are underweight, at more than 40%, and is among the countries with the highest prevalence of anemia, which affects 51% of women in the age bracket of 15-59 years and 87% of pregnant women. More than 70% of Indian women and children have serious nutritional deficiencies. Similarly, the level of adult malnutrition is high, affecting one-third of the country’s adults. In this regard, Scheduled Tribes (STs), Scheduled Castes (SCs), and minorities (Muslims) are at a great disadvantage. As per India’s State Hunger Index (ISHI), 12 of the 17 states surveyed fall into the ‘alarming’ category and one into the ‘extremely alarming’ category. These 17 major states comprise 95% of total population of India3. About 68.84% of the population of India is rural, the majority of whom greatly suffers from hunger and malnutrition.
