PROJECT BACKGROUND 1. The Decentralized Rural Infrastructure and Livelihood Project-Additional Financing (DRILP AF) is an extension of DRILP. DRILP was an initiative of GoN and an ADB, SDC funded project to reduce rural poverty in 18 very poor remote hill and mountainous districts affected by the conflict. The project is implemented over 5 years; the duration is from January 2012 to December 2016. The project implementation is to achieve sustainable increased access to socio-economic services and enhance social and financial capital of the people, particularly poor and disadvantaged groups in previous conflict affected areas. The underpinning thrust of the Project is labor based equipment supported (LBES) in construction techniques to promote greater involvement of Building groups (BGs) in construction activities which will boost local jobs. DRILP AF aims to reduce the poverty level in 18 project districts from 41 percent to 20 percent by employment generation of 4.7 million person days. The project design provides project districts select rural transport sub-projects that help to extend the district network of rural roads, trails and pedestrian bridges. The project objectives are achieved through a series of project activities that are broadly grouped into four components: (i) Community Development and Rural Livelihood Restoration; (ii) Capacity Building and Decentralized Governance; (iii) Rural Transport Infrastructure; and (iv) Project Management Services. 2. The Project Coordination Unit (PCU) of Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads (DoLIDAR) is the project Executing Agency (EA) responsible for the overall project coordination, management and implementation. DDC/DTO/DPO is the Implementing Agencies (IA) responsible for subproject planning, design, and implementation. DDC is responsible not only for the implementation of the Project but It also to coordinate all activities related to resettlement and Indigenous Peoples (IP’s) issues. 2. ROAD SUB-PROJECT’S BACKGROUND 3. The road sub-project (SP) selected by Bajura DDC is the Barabis-Delta Road of Barabis- Kuldevmandu-Gudukhati Road SP’. The geographical location is in Far western development region. Out of total 13.1 km of Barabis-Delta Road, construction works were started for a total length of 8.5 km within DRILP period and a total of 4.6 km is completely a new construction (un- touched section) for DRILP AF. Up to Jhali bazaar of Kuldevmandu VDC, the road of 4.5 km lengths is in operation for vehicles, which was opened during DRILP phase. 4. Considering the time and funds the road was divided into two sections for construction i) Barabis- Delta (Ch. 0+000 to 13+100 km) and ii) Delta – Aatichaur (Ch. 13+100 – 22+700) respectively. Construction works on Barabis- Delta section was started in DRILP and have been partially completed. The latitude of the SP fall in 29°33’52” and longitude is within 84°30’67”. The geographical feature of this area is lesser Himalaya with mountainous terrain. The Geology of the area is basically alluvial soil, colluvial soil and some rocky area with sub-tropical climate. 5. Local community has opportunity of direct employment generation from sub project activities such as the road construction works. Project has set the target of 40 percent women 2 involvement and proportionate representation from excluded groups in the BGs. This reflects the women and excluded group participation in decision making and benefit sharing process of the SPs. It further ensures their ownership of the SPs. Their participation and engagement in livelihood related skills trainings and other livelihood improvement activities will have significant impact on reducing poverty level in the sub-project areas. Project intends to provide the benefits to 40 percent women and 60 percent poor and excluded groups of potential beneficiaries of impact zone. The social awareness raising training will be provided to communities from impact zones; of which project has aimed 80 percent are women, poor and from excluded groups in Barabis- Delta Road SP ZOI area. Similarly, project assists BGs to form Saving Credit Groups and support BGs, if they will eager, interested and capable to form themselves into formal Micro Finance/ Saving and Credit Cooperatives (SCCs) and to facilitate their access to credit from existing institutional provider. 3. DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION OF ZOI 6. The VDCs along the road corridor is Barabis, Kuldevmandu and Gudukhati. Some of the wards of these VDCs lie in ZOI area of the SP, i.e. wards 1-6 and 9 of Kuldevmandu, wards 5-9 of Barabis and wards 5 and 6 of Gudukhati VDCs. The classification of road is District road and standard class ‘A’. The pavement/type is earthen surface and is a new construction. The baseline on demography of ‘Barabis- Delta Road SP’ was collected during the Baseline survey (BLS) and Zone of influence (ZOI) Survey of second phase sub-project in DRILP.1 As per the information collected from various sources, the population within ZOI along the road corridor is 13436 (male: 7229, female: 6207) and the HHs are 1959. The detail populations of VDCs along the sub-project ZOI areas are as follows: Table 1: Demographic structure of ZOI VDCs in Sub project area S.N. VDC HH Population Caste/ethnicity Male Female Total Brahmin Chhetri Dalit 1 Kuldevmandu 847 2628 2665 5293 535 2772 1986 2 Barabis 815 3621 2526 6147 20 3710 2417 3 Gudukhati 297 980 1016 1996 0 1225 663 Total 1959 7229 6207 13436 555 7707 5066 (Source: ZOI survey Report of Barabis-Delta Road, Bajura November 2009) 7. Most of the people living in ZOI area are Brahmin, Chhetri and Dalits. The populations of Chhetri are highest and Brahmin is lowest in VDCs of ZOI and in Gudukhati there is no Brahmin 1 BLS II Sub Project Report DRILP_ October 2011 3 HH. The Dalit populations are also significantly high. However, in the SP ZOI areas the ethnic population as mentioned in ADB IP definition does not exist. 8. The main occupation is agriculture and animal husbandry in these VDCs. The other sources of income are horticulture, small business/shop, porter, laboring, mini cottage industries and seasonal migration to India for employment. Regarding migration, the situation creates due to low food sufficiency for a year round and force poor people to go outside of their own VDC/district for employment and in some cases as earlier mentioned outside the country as well. One cause of increasing number of female headed HH is long term migration of their male counterpart, which burden women’s works. 4. IDENTIFICATION OF IPs 9. The term indigenous people (IPs) is refer to the Janjati or ethnic groups, indigenous cultural communities which maintain cultural and social identities separate from the mainstream societies or cultures in the context of Nepal. 10. The IPPF framework is based on the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009); the Interim Constitution of Nepal, the three year Interim Plan (2007-2010), sections of the NFDIN Act 2002; National Human Rights Action Plan 2005; Environmental Act 1997; Forest Act 1993 and Community Forestry Guideline. 11. In ADB’s 2009 SPS, the term Indigenous People is used in a generic sense to refer to a distinct, vulnerable, social and cultural group possessing the following characteristics in varying degrees: Self-identification and identification of others as being part of a distinct indigenous cultural group, and display the desire to maintain that cultural identity; A linguistic identity different from that of the mainstream or dominant society; Social, cultural, economic and political traditions and institutions distinct from the mainstream or dominant culture. 12. Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN) has classified these groups into five categories based on their population size and other socio-economic variables such as literacy, housing, land holdings, occupation, language, and area of residence. While a majority of these groups are integrated into the mainstream society/culture, whereas several of them (recognized by NEFIN as highly marginalized/endangered) are

    Food Security Bulletin - 21 United Nations World Food Programme FS Bulletin, November 2008 Food Security Monitoring and Analysis System Issue 21 Highlights Over the period July to September 2008, the number of people highly and severely food insecure increased by about 50% compared to the previous quarter due to severe flooding in the East and Western Terai districts, roads obstruction because of incessant rainfall and landslides, rise in food prices and decreased production of maize and other local crops. 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.

  • Pray for Nepal
    Pray for Nepal Bajhang Bajura Doti Achham Kailali Seti, Bajura 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).

In these regions b6th tatar or bitter buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) and common buckwheat (Pagopyrum esculentum) have been cultivated from ancient times, and the perennial species of buckwheat (Fagopyrum cymosum) is prevalent to the mountains in a altitudinal range from 1500 to 3000 masl). This indicates that this range comes among the native places of buckwheat. In Nepal buckwheat is extensively cultivated in moisture-, nutrient-deficient and temperature stress conditions with low inputs (manures and tillage). The farmers have been growing only indigigenous local cultivars with their own seeds - the ecotypes, and the yield level is as low as 600-800 kg/ha.
