It will enable people to resume their normal lives by restoring access to livelihoods and basic infrastructure. The project design is based on (i) the post-flood joint damage and needs assessment, led by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in October–November 2008, with the participation of United Nations (UN) agencies; and (ii) the Government’s preliminary estimate of flood damage. The Government—supported by UN agencies, bilateral partners, and nongovernment organizations (NGOs)— responded effectively in the initial phase of the disaster. However, 47,000 people remain displaced in temporary accommodation, and damage to infrastructure and livelihoods has been severe. The Project has been designed in coordination with central and local governments in recovery activities to move effectively from the humanitarian relief activities of the Government, UN agencies, and NGOs to recovery and reconstruction. The Project supports increased disaster preparedness and mitigation of damage from future recurrent floods by enhancing the Government’s disaster management capacity, and improving the disaster recovery system in cooperation with the Government of India. Rationale The devastating 2008 floods—affecting 300,000 people mainly in three districts—caused severe damage to livelihood, infrastructure, and other assets. They also disrupted economic activities, inflicting heavy losses to crops and slowing expansion in industries and services. The combined losses of the floods in both regions are estimated at $88 million. Direct losses to assets and output because of flooding amount to $30 million; indirect losses are estimated at $58 million. The floods slowed progress in poverty reduction, with the poor and the vulnerable suffering most in terms of losses to crops, livestock, property, and housing; and reduced income opportunities. ii Impact and Outcome The objective of the Project is to restore economic activities quickly, mainly in the three districts; and to improve the livelihoods of about 300,000 people seriously affected by the 2008 floods. It will contribute to sustainable economic growth by minimizing the devastating impact of the floods and reduce future risk from similar disasters. The Project will focus on augmenting incomes and self-reliance by reviving agriculture in the affected farmland and restoring the livelihoods of affected persons, as well as rehabilitating infrastructure. The interventions were identified in consultation with the Government, NGOs, and other civil society organizations; and involve community participation. The Project includes mitigation of damage from future recurrent floods by enhancing cost-effective construction specifications of rehabilitated infrastructure, and supporting capacity building and the Government’s disaster preparedness. It has five parts. Part A: Agriculture. Restore the livelihood of affected people through revival of agriculture by distributing seeds and compost to grow crops suitable for sandy soil, as well as basic farm equipment—supported by extension services, skills development training, and social mobilization. It will also rehabilitate fishponds and minor irrigation, distribute fingerlings, and reconstruct agriculture collection centers and marketplaces. Part B: Irrigation. Rehabilitate damaged structures of 2 large and 25 small surface irrigation systems, including 25 head works; 127 kilometers (km) of canals; 196 canal structures such as drain syphons, aqueducts, gates, outlets, and inlets; 36 km of canal service roads; 45 culverts and small bridges; 1 medium-sized bridge; and 700 shallow tube wells. Part C: Water Supply and Sanitation. Rehabilitate 28 gravity flow water supply systems in Kailali and Kanchanur, construct 4 small overhead water supply systems, and install 3,500 shallow tube wells in Sunsari to provide access to drinking water and sanitation facilities. A health and hygiene awareness program will be integral to part C. Part D: Roads. Rehabilitate damaged strategic roads in the far western region, including bridge and culvert protection works and landslide stabilization works; and provide alternative access to the far-eastern region by constructing the Koshi bridge at Chatara with the objective of minimizing the damaging impact

The food security situation in the flood affected districts of Eastern and Western Terai remains precarious, requiring close monitoring, while in the majority of other districts the food security situation is likely to improve in November-December due to harvesting of the paddy crop. Decreased maize and paddy production in some districts may indicate a deteriorating food insecurity situation from January onwards. this period.

  • A Study Report on Disabilty Survey in Kailali District
    A Study Report on Disabilty Survey in Kailali District Chapter I: Introduction 1.1 Background Ecologically Nepal is a very diverse country with large areas of hilly and mountainous terrain. Due to this difficult terrain infrastructure tends to be very underdeveloped. Nepal is also one of the poorest countries in the world (In the UNDP HDI they are 136 out of 175 countries). In addition to this the population of Nepal includes many different ethnic groups and the majority of the population conforms to very specific caste hierarchies. There are wide discrepancies between different caste and ethnic groups in terms of their relative wealth and also their access to education. All of these factors inevitably affect the situation of disabled people in Nepal. According to WHO, Disabilities is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. Impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations. Thus disability is a complex phenomenon, reflecting an interaction between features of a person‟s body and features of the society in which he or she lives. Disability and poverty are intricately linked. Disability causes poverty and poverty exacerbates disability – people with disabilities are among the poorest and most vulnerable. Global estimates indicate that at least ten percent of the world‟s population lives with some form of disability. In the South Asia Region, a vast number of people are disabled and lack basic support such as access to social safety nets, education, health services, and gainful employment.

However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education.
