TA 7182-NEP PREPARING THE SECONDARY TOWNS INTEGRATED URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Volume 1: MAIN REPORT in association with KNOWLEDGE SUMMARY 1 The Government and the Asian Development Bank agreed to prepare the Secondary Towns Integrated Urban Environmental Improvement Project (STIUEIP). They agreed that STIUEIP should support the goal of improved quality of life and higher economic growth in secondary towns of Nepal. The outcome of the project preparation work is a report in 19 volumes. 2 This first volume explains the rationale for the project and the selection of three towns for the project. The rationale for STIUEIP is the rapid growth of towns outside the Kathmandu valley, the service deficiencies in these towns, the deteriorating environment in them, especially the larger urban ones, the importance of urban centers to promote development in the regions of Nepal, and the Government’s commitments to devolution and inclusive development. 3 STIUEIP will support the objectives of the National Urban Policy: to develop regional economic centres, to create clean, safe and developed urban environments, and to improve urban management capacity.

  • Nepal: Phase II (1 April 2010 –31 March 2012)
    Final Report Small-Scale Aquaculture Program AwF-Nepal: Phase II (1 April 2010 –31 March 2012) Prepared by Ram C Bhujel1, Madhav K Shrestha2, Hare Ram Devkota3 and Agni Nepal3 1Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand 2Institute of Agriculture and Animal Sciences (IAAS), Chitwan, Nepal 3Nepal Agriculture Research Council (NARC) July 2012 Executive Summary This report is the summary of activities and outcomes of the AwF-Nepal Project Phase II accomplished during the project period (1 April 2010 – 31 March 2012). This project is the extension and expansion of the 2- year AwF-Nepal project initiated in Rainas Tar, Lamjung in 2008. Ninety (90) families were supported to incorporate small-scale aquaculture in their farming system in three districts; namely, Lamjung (Dhamilikuwa, Chakratirtha and Valayakharka), Gorkha (Putlikhet) and Nawal Parasi (Dedhgaon). Farmers were organized in five groups of 14, 15, 23, 22 and 16 respectively. Project was expanded to two locations namely; Valayakharka (Lamjung) and Dedhgaon (Nawal Parasi) in the second year after successful launching in three locations during the first year (2011). Overall average size of the pond was 49m2with a range of 29 - 75 m2. Total fish production per family ranged from 7.6 - 126 kg with the overall average of 37kg. Out of which over half (51%, range 18-61%) was sold. Without proper feeding, productivity of ponds remained reasonably high i.e. 7.2 ton per ha (range 1.9-21.2 ton/ha). Among the five groups, the group in Gorkha showed excellent results. Total production of the group reached to 1.9 to in 2010 which increased to 2.8 ton in 2011 with the productivity of 14.6 and 21.2 ton per ha respectively which demonstrated the possibility of earnings (up to US$3.38 per capita per day) required to cross the poverty bench mark (1.25) set by the World Bank.

  • Transmission Cov-Web
    MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR It gives me great pleasure to pen these words for the Transmission Directorate and the Project Management Directorate’s joint year book on the occasion of Nepal Electricity Authority’s 36th anniversary. Transmission and Project Management Directorate together have been essential in bridging the growth in generation and distribution in Nepal. With the growing infrastructure within these directorates, we have been able to evacuate large amounts of power being produced or purchased in the country to anywhere within the rapidly growing electricity network which is the Integrated Nepal Power System (INPS).
