The project activities of the first quarter were badly affected due to the pandemic although the project accomplished the review with local governments on regular operation of the techno-hubs and sustainable use of technological tools and systems. The meeting discussed and reviewed about the proper operation and use of the technological platforms, tools and systems, gaps and made action plan for necessary improvement. The project supported to both working area's local governments some materials/equipments to combat the COVID-19 crisis. It enhanced the mutual collaboration and harmony between the organization and the local governments. The project broadcasted awareness jingle on gender-based violence and women, youths, elected representatives, migrants and parent's mental health related podcasts (5 episodes) through FM radios.

Except these, the project initiated to forward the tool/systems replication process of Ajayameru Gaunpalika and reported accordingly.

  • The Current Food Security Qtr
    Nepal Food Security Bulletin Issue 25, July - October 2009 Situation Summary • The total number of food insecure people across Nepal is Figure 1. Percentage of population food insecure estimated to be 3.7 million, this represents approximately 16.4% of the rural population. WFP Nepal is feeding 1.6 17.0% million people which has had a significant impact on reducing 2009 winter drought this figure. 16.5% • July—August is typically a period of heightened food insecurity across Nepal. This year’s lean period was particularly severe in several areas of the country due to the 2008/09 winter 16.0% drought which led to reduced household food stocks and in the worst affected areas household food shortages. 15.5% • During the coming months, short term food security should continue to improve across most of Nepal as the current 15.0% harvest of summer crops (paddy, millet and maize) will be completed. However, the longer term outlook is that food security will decline within the next 6 months as summer crop 14.5% production at a national level is expected to be generally weak. Oct-Dec 09 Jan-Mar 09 Apr-Jun 09 Jul-Sep 09 Poor summer crop production is the result of late plantation (caused by late monsoon rains) combined with erratic and generally low rainfall during the monsoon. • Of the 476 households surveyed by WFP between July and September, summer crop losses of more than 30% have been experienced or are expected by more than 40% of households. Of critical concern is the situation in Bajura, Achham, Darchula, Jumla, Humla, Mugu, Dailekh, Rukum, and Taplejung where the main summer crops (paddy,millet and/or maize) have failed by 30-70% across multiple VDCs.
