  • Madan Bhandari Highway
    Report on Environmental, Social and Economic Impacts of Madan Bhandari Highway DECEMBER 17, 2019 NEFEJ Lalitpur Executive Summary The report of the eastern section of Madan Bhandari Highway was prepared on the basis of Hetauda-Sindhuli-Gaighat-Basaha-Chatara 371 km field study, discussion with the locals and the opinion of experts and reports. •During 2050's,Udaypur, Sindhuli and MakwanpurVillage Coordination Committee opened track and constructed 3 meters width road in their respective districts with an aim of linking inner Madhesh with their respective headquarters. In the background of the first Madhesh Movement, the road department started work on the concept of alternative roads. Initially, the double lane road was planned for an alternative highway of about 7 meters width. The construction of the four-lane highway under the plan of national pride began after the formation of a new government of the federal Nepal on the backdrop of the 2072 blockade and the Madhesh movement. The Construction of Highway was enunciated without the preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment Report despite the fact that it required EIA before the implementation of the big physical plan of long-term importance. Only the paper works were done on the study and design of the alternative highway concept. The required reports and construction laws were abolished from the psychology that strong reporting like EIA could be a hindrance to the roads being constructed through sensitive terrain like Chure (Siwalik). • During the widening of the roads, 8 thousand 2 hundred and 55 different trees of community forest of Makwanpur, Sindhuli and Udaypur districtsare cut.

  • Government of Nepal Ministry of Forests and Environment Nepal
    Government of Nepal Ministry of Forests and Environment Nepal Forests for Prosperity Project Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) March 8, 2020 Executive Summary 1. This Environment and Social Management Framework (ESMF) has been prepared for the Forests for Prosperity (FFP) Project. The Project is implemented by the Ministry of Forest and Environment and funded by the World Bank as part of the Nepal’s Forest Investment Plan under the Forest Investment Program. The purpose of the Environmental and Social Management Framework is to provide guidance and procedures for screening and identification of expected environmental and social risks and impacts, developing management and monitoring plans to address the risks and to formulate institutional arrangements for managing these environmental and social risks under the project. 2. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve sustainable forest management1; increase benefits from forests and contribute to net Greenhouse Gas Emission (GHG) reductions in selected municipalities in provinces 2 and 5 in Nepal. The short-to medium-term outcomes are expected to increase overall forest productivity and the forest sector’s contribution to Nepal’s economic growth and sustainable development including improved incomes and job creation in rural areas and lead to reduced Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and increased climate resilience. This will directly benefit the communities, including women and disadvantaged groups participating in Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) as well and small and medium sized entrepreneurs (and their employees) involved in forest product harvesting, sale, transport and processing. Indirect benefits are improved forest cover, environmental services and carbon capture and storage 3. The FFP Project will increase the forest area under sustainable, community-based and productive forest management and under private smallholder plantations (mainly in the Terai), resulting in increased production of wood and non-wood forest products.

  • Environmental Assessment Document Initial Environmental Examination
    Environmental Assessment Document Initial Environmental Examination Loan Number: 2102 NEP August 2009 Nepal: Community-Managed Irrigated Agricultural Sector Project Mainawati Irrigation Sub-Project, Siraha Prepared by the Government of Nepal The Environmental Assessment is a document of the borrower. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent those of ADB’s Board of Directors, Management, or staff, and may be preliminary in nature. Appendix J : Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EXAMINATION MAINAWATI IRRIGATION SUB-PROJECT, SIRAHA DISTRICT I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. This initial environmental examination (IEE) was undertaken for the Mainawati Irrigation Subproject under Community Managed Irrigated Agriculture Sector Project under ADB Loan 2102 NEP to meet the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) requirements for environmental assessment process and documentation prior to Subproject approval, following the procedures in ADB’s Environmental Assessment Guidelines (2003), and the Project’s Environmental Assessment and Review Procedures. 2. The subproject does not pass through any environmentally sensitive ecological area. It is the rehabilitation of the existing irrigation scheme where the system is already in operation since many years. Apart from some construction related impacts, the subproject will have minimal impact on the environment. Hence the subproject has been categorized under Category B as per the Environment Assessment Policy, 2002. 3. This Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) was based on data collected during the Joint Walkthrough Survey. The objective of the IEE is to analyze the adverse environmental impacts arising from site selection, design, construction and operation of the subproject. The mitigation of any such effect to acceptable levels was sought through implementation of a set of clearly defined and costed mitigation measures which have been included in the cost estimates.
