    Right Honorable Speaker, 1. I Feel Honored to Present the Budget For

    Right Honorable Speaker, 1. I feel honored to present the budget for the year 2009/10 as a Finance Minister of the coalition Government of Nepal formed under the support of the twenty-two among the twenty-four political parties of the Legislative- Parliament to build socialism oriented, just, nondiscriminatory, competent and prosperous Nepal by formulating the new Constitution as per the ideologies of the historic People’s Movement, Comprehensive Peace Accord and directive of the Constitution Assembly. On this occasion, I would like to express my deep-down tribute to the entire known and unknown Martyrs’ demised during the struggle to attain federal democratic republic in the country. Further, I would like to honor the wounded and warriors of the Peoples Movement. 2. The major priorities of the coalition government are building consensus among all the political parties; constitutional supremacy; rule of law; guaranteeing the good-governance; bring the peace process to a logical end by implementing all the agreements signed and consensus reached in the past to end the anarchy, lawlessness and insecurity; promulgating the new constitution with national consensus within stipulated time-frame; and accelerating economic growth by state restructuring and socio-economic transformation. The proposed budget is based on the background of these major priorities and Three-Year Interim Plan. 3. For a long time, in spite of our country's immense diversity, all the linguistic, religious, cultural and ethnic groups as well as the people of different genders and geographical areas couldn't get equal treatment from the country because of the existence of monarchial feudal system.

    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.
