Covid-19 Nepal: Preparedness and Response Plan (Nprp)
COVID-19 NEPAL: PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE PLAN (NPRP) April 2020 NPRP for COVID-19 | 2 COVID-19 Nepal: Preparedness and Response Plan (NPRP) Introduction The COVID crisis affecting the world today requires a level of response that goes beyond the capacity of any country. As the UN Secretary-General said: “More than ever before, we need solidarity, hope and the political will and cooperation to see this crisis through together”. The Government of Nepal is putting in place a series of measures to address the situation, but more needs to be done, and the international solidarity is required to ensure that the country is fully prepared to face the pandemic and address its impact in all sectors. The Nepal Preparedness and Response Plan (NPRP) lays out the preparedness actions and key response activities to be undertaken in Nepal, based on the trends and developments of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The plan outlines two levels of interventions; one that is the preparedness that should take place at the earliest possible and that constitutes an investment in Nepal’s health systems that will in any case benefit the people of Nepal, regardless of the extent of the COVID-19 pandemic in the territory. The second level is the effective response, across sectors, to an estimated caseload of 1500 infected people and 150,000 collaterally affected people. This can then be scaled up in case there is a vast increase in number of infected and affected people, beyond the original scenario of 1500 patients. Nepal is also vulnerable to natural disasters, including seasonal floods and landslides. -

Distribution and availability of raw materials for production of Nepali handmade paper from Daphne species in Darchula district, Nepal D. K. Kharal1, B. N. Oli2 and I. Poudel3 The study, conducted in 2005 in Darchula district of the far western region of Nepal, aimed at assessing the distribution of Lokta plants (Daphne species) and the sustainable availability of their bark as a raw material for Nepali handmade paper. Stratifi ed random sampling design was adopted for collecting primary data from 340 circular shaped sample plots. The study revealed asymmetric distribution and production of Lokta in different Range post areas of Darchula district. While the tree diameter at 30 cm from base (D30) varied from 1 to 18 cm, the maximum tree height varied from 2.1 to 6 m. On the basis of diameter class, about 87 % of the bark weight was found to be of exploitable category. For the entire district of Darchula, the annual yield of Lokta bark for six years rotation amounted only to about two-third of the four years rotation. The study concludes that the stock of Lokta bark that prevails in the district can sustain promotion of Nepali paper production enterprises. Key words: Annual yield, Non Timber Forest Product, rotation, Range post, sustainable production on Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) have a for manufacturing handmade papers. Harvesting Npivotal role in the rural as well as national of Lokta bark and manufacturing of local paper economic development of Nepal (MPFS, 1989; both provide opportunities for creating local MoFSC, 2004; NPC, 2010). In the country, employment, thereby, providing potentials approximately 10.13 thousand tons of NTFPs for generating income to sustain livelihoods of was extracted contributing to revenue of NRs. -

Over the past two weeks, seven vulnerable Nepali migrants (all male) stranded abroad were provided with support to return to Nepal in coordination with the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security, and Nepal Embassy in Malaysia and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Ministry of Health and Population organised two rounds of national review of nutrition rehabilitation homes (NRH) between 25-27 January and 10-12 February 2021.
