    Terms of References for Preparation of the Detailed Project Proposal for the implementation of intensive value chain development program of vegetable and fruits in the 13 selected North-South road corridor of Nepal 1. Background Agriculture is the major contributing sector in national economy and this is possible by increasing production and productivity of crops, vegetables and fruits. Increasing agriculture productivity is also necessary for enhancing food security and is possible only when we can develop the value chain of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, it is utmost necessary to develop value chain of fruits and vegetables to increase market potentiality and comparative advantage. Government of Nepal has given priority for the value chain development in agriculture through the budget speech and it was clearly mentioned in the agriculture sector transformation guideline 2075 implementation action plan issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock development. With the increasing commercialization of agricultural, especially fruits and vegetables has been given high priority by many development agencies including government, non-government, private and donor agencies. Various agencies are promoting fruits and vegetable value chain in the various road corridor of the Nepal. But a consolidated and comprehensive project proposal has not been prepared so far for the implementation of intensive value chain development program of fruits and vegetables in the potential north-south road corridor in Nepal. Keeping in this in view and according to the approved annual program of Center for Agricultural Infrastructure Development and Mechanization Promotion (CAIDMP) for the fiscal year 2075/76, it is targeted to prepare Detailed Project Proposal for the implementation of intensive value chain development program of vegetable and fruits in the 13 selected North-South road corridor of Nepal Accordingly, it is also planned to prepare detail project proposal through consultancy service according to the related acts and rules of Nepal.

  • (DREF) Nepal: Earthquake
    Disaster relief emergency fund (DREF) Nepal: Earthquake DREF operation n° MDRNP005 GLIDE n° EQ-2011-000136-NPL 21 September 2011 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent emergency response. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. CHF 172,417 has been allocated from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the National Society in conducting rapid assessments and in delivering immediate assistance to some 1,500 families. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: On the evening of 18 September, Nepal was shaken by an earthquake measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale. The epicentre is known to be on the Nepal-India border of Taplejung district of Nepal and Sikkim state of India, with a depth of 19.7 km. Tremors were felt throughout Nepal, Bhutan, and some parts of India and Bangladesh. The full extent of the damage is unclear at this stage as many areas remain inaccessible, due to their remote location as well as heavy rainfall and several landslides. The Government of Nepal does not anticipate a need for external assistance but has activated its National Emergency Operations Centre which has identified seven highly affected districts outside of Kathmandu, mainly in the areas close to the earthquake's epicentre.

    2.3 Nepal Road Network Overview Primary Roads in Nepal Major Road Construction Projects Distance Matrix Road Security Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits Road Class and Surface Conditions Province 1 Province 2 Bagmati Province Gandaki Province Province 5 Karnali Province Sudurpashchim Province Overview Roads are the predominant mode of transport in Nepal. Road network of Nepal is categorized into the strategic road network (SRN), which comprises of highways and feeder roads, and the local road network (LRN), comprising of district roads and Urban roads. Nepal’s road network consists of about 64,500 km of roads. Of these, about 13,500 km belong to the SRN, the core network of national highways and feeder roads connecting district headquarters. (Picture : Nepal Road Standard 2070) The network density is low, at 14 kms per 100 km2 and 0.9 km per 1,000 people. 60% of the road network is concentrated in the lowland (Terai) areas. A Department of Roads (DoR’s) survey shows that 50% of the population of the hill areas still must walk two hours to reach an SRN road. Two of the 77 district headquarters, namely Humla, and Dolpa are yet to be connected to the SRN. Page 1 (Source: Sector Assessment [Summary]: Road Transport) Primary Roads in Nepal S. Rd.

    ICIMOD Research Report 2016/2 Benefit Sharing and Sustainable Hydropower: Lessons from Nepal 1 About ICIMOD The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, ICIMOD, is a regional knowledge development and learning centre serving the eight regional member countries of the Hindu Kush Himalayas – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan – and based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Globalization and climate change have an increasing influence on the stability of fragile mountain ecosystems and the livelihoods of mountain people. ICIMOD aims to assist mountain people to understand these changes, adapt to them, and make the most of new opportunities, while addressing upstream-downstream issues. We support regional transboundary programmes through partnership with regional partner institutions, facilitate the exchange of experience, and serve as a regional knowledge hub. We strengthen networking among regional and global centres of excellence.

  • INTRODUCTION Percent of the Global Market (Gon, 2010)
    Shiba Prasad Rijal... IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON LARGE CARDAMOM-BASED LIVELIHOODS/33 IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON LARGE CARDAMOM-BASED LIVELIHOODS IN PANCHTHAR DISTRICT, NEPAL Shiba Prasad Rijal, PhD Reader, Department of Geography Education T.U., Nepal [email protected] Abstract The paper aims at analyzing the impact of climate change on large cardamom-based livelihoods in Panchthar district by reviewing literature and compiling perceptions of local people. Large cardamom, a newly introduced high-value cash crop grown in 36 hill and mountain districts in Nepal, is cultivated in all 41 Village Development Committees of Panchthar district concentrating largely in its northern and eastern parts at the elevations of roughly between 500 to 2000 meters above sea level. Though area coverage and production of large cardamom is limited compared to other crops, its contribution on people’s livelihood is signifi cant as it has high market value. Production of large cardamom contributes much on people’s livelihoods as it is the main source of household income and provides seasonal employment to thousands of people from farm to the market. Some local cultural producers have also been using bi-products of large cardamom for production of handicrafts such as baskets, tablemats, bags, and window blinders. Besides, it has numerous indirect implications such as reduction in soil erosion and landslides, and increase in biodiversity and carbon’s tock. In recent years, production of large cardamom has been declining as a result of climate change induced factors. The decline adversely affects people’s livelihoods. Key Words: Adaptation, climate sensitive, coping capacity, large cardamom, climate change, livelihood base.
