Summary In line with the second objective of this study, a one-day workshop was conducted in 6 municipalities of province # 2 and Karnali province. The main objective of the workshop was to develop strategy, implementation plans and budgets to improve the nutrition and early childhood development outcomes in the select number of municipalities and to define the support (policy, technical and material) that may be needed by other stakeholders to implement these plans. In Province # 2, the workshop was carried out in Jaleshwor municipality (Mahottari), Yamunamai rural municipality (Rautahat) and Chhipaharmai rural municipality (Parsa). In Karnali province, the workshop was carried out in Bheri Municipality (Jajarkot), Bhairabi Rural municipality (Dailekh) and Mugum Karmarong Rural Municipality (Mugu). Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Chief Administrative Officer, Section Chiefs of the municipalities and Ward Chairpersons or representatives from wards were among the participants of the workshop who actively participated and provided their valuable inputs. Based on the issues, challenges, suggestions and recommendations from stakeholders of MSNP and ECD sectors (identified through the analysis of data from the KIIs, FGDs and Workshop), the study team efficaciously facilitated and supported the six municipal governments to develop strategy, implementation plan and budget of their respective municipalities. The workshop helped them to discuss and come up with feasible strategies and activity plans to address malnutrition and early childhood development outcomes. In order to implement the planned activities, the municipalities have also pledged to allocate budgets for most of the activities from their own municipality budget, which is a positive effect of this workshop. During the workshop, each municipality developed strategy, implementation plan, budget, resources and source of funding for the planned activities. Municipal government representatives discussed on the issues/challenges and identified problem solving strategies and activities. They calculated estimated budget and resources needed to carry out the planned activities. Resources included financial resources, human resources, logistics and other resources. Additionally, participants also recognized possible sources of funding (federal govt./provincial govt./local govt./EDPs) and supporting documents like policies and plans required to carry out the planned activities. After the workshop, the mayor and chairperson of the municipalities expressed their commitment indicating that they are serious on improving the nutritional status and ECD status in their municipalities. They have provided commitment letters to the study team to show their seriousness in their pledge. The stakeholders of six municipalities have developed various nutrition and ECD activities with an estimated total budget of NRS. 80,785,000 for nutrition activities and estimated budget of NRS. 108,290,375 for ECD activities in six municipalities of province #2 and Karnali province.

The study team which includes NTAG and Seto Gurans officials visited six selected municipalities selected by the provincial governments and supported the municipal governments to develop strategy, implementation plan and budget based on the findings of the study. In this context, following activities were carried out.

1. An approach plan for preparing the detailed needs assessment, plans and budgets with the selected municipalities Based on the findings of the assessment, the study team provided technical support to local municipalities to develop strategies, implementation plans and budgets. Based on the findings, lesson learned and recommendations of similar studies carried out in global, regional and national settings municipalities prepared strategies, implementation plan and budget. Likewise, national data sources such as HMIS, EMIS and publications related to MSNP and ECD were also referred during the planning process and development of detailed implementation plan for the local government.

This approach was implemented in the same six municipalities where the assessments had been conducted. The guideline for strategic planning at the local level for MSNP and ECD was developed as a planning tool. The classic-4 step approach for strategic planning (Jurgen C Schmidt and Laycock n.d.1) was adopted while developing the guidelines.

After welcoming the participants, a short presentation was provided on an overview of the study activities. A concept on MSNP and ECD were preseted along with the situation of nutrition and ECD indicators of Karnali province. The participants were also presented with the strengths and areas of improvement concerning MSNP and ECD sectors identified through the analysis of data from the KIIs, FGDs and workshop. After the presentations, the participants were divided into two groups, i.e., MSNP and ECD. The MSNP group comprised of stakeholders from the seven MSNP sectors led by Mr. Khadgey Nepali, Nutrition and Food Security Program Coordinator of Bhairabi RM whereas the ECD group included representatives from the municipality and education sector (schools, ECD centers, School Management Committee) led by Mr. Bishakhar Jaisi, Principal of Shree Himalaya Secondary School, Bhairabi RM. The main responsibility of each group was the identification of priority areas in their respective field (identified by

the qualitative analysis) and development of a strategy, implementation plan and budget targeting the selected areas of the municipality. After the prioritization, both groups were provided with handouts of the framework that had been developed to facilitate the ‘strategy, Implementation plan and budget.
