Ltd. (SRI) Mahalaxmi Municipality - 5, Lalitpur, Nepal Email: [email protected], [email protected] December 2020 i Acknowledgements In the context of COVID-19, this study is a substantial work to understand socio-economic impacts on people who are survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, victims of child marriage and economically marginalized groups of people (wage-based labourers, micro & small entrepreneurs, returnee migrant workers and farmers). These people are referred as rights holders (RHs) by the IM Swedish Development Partner and its partner organisations (POs) in true sense and they are impacted by COVID-19. Despite their difficulties RHs extended support to inform the Study Team and enumerators. Therefore, thanks are due to them from the Study Team. Likewise, the Study team would like to thank to the field members of POs who cooperated in providing information about RHs, guiding enumerators to reach to sample households selected for surveys and helping in organising focused group discussions and consultation meetings with various officials of Municipalities and Rural Municipalities. The Study Team also gratefully acknowledges valuable inputs from Ms. Roshani Devi Karki (Under Secretary, MoWCSC, Federal Government), Mr. Shreedhar Gyawali (Under Secretary, MoLMAC, Lumbini Province), Mr. Thaneshwor Gyawali (Under Secretary, MoSD, Lumbini Province), Ms. Sharada Bashyal (Chief Women Development Officer, MoSD), Ms. Shiv Kumari Chaudhary (Vice Mayor, Shivraj Municipality), Mr. Basudev Jamarkattel (Social Dev Officer, Vijaynagar RM), and Ms. Pima Kumari Khadka (Vice Chairperson, Dangisharan RM).

  • Collaboration for Watershed Conservation in Nepal March 2019
    Women fish in the Terai region of Nepal. Photo credit: Olaf Zerbock/USAID Collaboration for Watershed Conservation in Nepal March 2019 na remote corner of western Nepal’s Dang District, Pateshwori Chaudhary is Iworking to save the fish that live in the Rapti River. Pollution, destructive fishing practices, and poaching of the surrounding wildlife threaten the river’s biodiversity and cultural traditions. Chaudhary is a member of the indigenous Tharu community, for whom fishing has been an important part of life for generations. Not long ago, Chaudhary himself fished using electric current or explosive devices (a practice known as “blast fish- ing”), a highly destructive fishing practice that destroys fish habitat and kills all fish indiscriminately regardless of size. This type of fishing provided Chaudhary and other men in his community a regular source of income — until the fish started to run out. “I realized that fishing in such ways would create fatal consequences and generations after us would curse us for depriving them of experiencing the aquatic biodiversity in For more information, please visit Globalwaters.org. 1 our rivers,” he said. Protecting Aquatic Biodiversity Chaudhary’s story is common among fishing communities in western Nepal, where the Karnali, Mahakali, and Rapti rivers provide a critical habitat for freshwater spe- cies, irrigate farmland, and propel hydroelectric dams. Water is the single most im- portant natural resource underpinning Nepal’s economy and livelihoods, yet it faces increasing stress from population growth, climate change, and unregulated use. The USAID Program for Aquatic Natural Resources Improvement, known locally as Paani (meaning “water” in Nepali), is helping change how local communities manage water resources in 12 priority watersheds, which span over 8,700 square kilometers of important habitat in the Karnali, Mahakali, and Rapti river basins.
