Willenbockel (2011) A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Practical Action’s Livelihood-Centred Disaster Risk Reduction Project in Nepal. Brighton: IDS. Abstract This study provides a systematic cost-benefit analysis of a community-based disaster risk management project led by Practical Action in two districts of Nepal over the period 2007 to 2010. Under cautious assumptions about the long-term impacts of the project initiatives, the overall benefit-cost ratio ranges from 1.13 to 1.45, while under moderately optimistic assumptions the estimated benefit- cost ratio is up to 2.04. The internal rate of return of the project is between 22.2 and 26.3 percent. These findings indicate that the livelihood-centred approach to disaster risk reduction adopted in this project has resulted in a significant net contribution to the economic welfare of the target communities and delivered value for money.

The revised M&E Plan is consistent with the approved Annual Work Plan and the Program Description of the Cooperative Agreement (CA). This updated M&E has added/revised/updated targets to systematically align additional earthquake recovery funding added into the award through 8th modification of Hariyo Ban award to WWF to address very unexpected and burning issues, primarily in four Hariyo Ban program districts (Gorkha, Dhading, Rasuwa and Nuwakot) and partly in other districts, due to recent earthquake and associated climatic/environmental challenges. This updated M&E Plan, including its added/revised/updated indicators and targets, will have very good programmatic meaning for the program’s overall performance monitoring process in the future.

  • Maternal Health Care Service Access to Disabled and Dalit Women in Nepal a Thesis Submitted to University College London
    Maternal Health Care Service Access to Disabled and Dalit Women in Nepal Hridaya Raj Devkota A Thesis Submitted to University College London (UCL) For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Epidemiology and Public Health January 2017 Page | 1 DECLARATION I, Hridaya Raj Devkota, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature: Date: 30/01/2017 Page | 2 ABSTRACT Background: The access and utilization of maternal health care services by disabled and Dalit women in Nepal has not been well studied, and yet disparities in these may result in poor health outcomes. Co-existence of caste and disability may lead Dalit women with disability to further exclusion and marginalization, preventing them to access basic human rights and opportunities such as maternal health care services. It is therefore important to understand disabled and Dalit women’s access and utilization of health care service and the effect of intersectionality between their caste status and disability in the use of services. Previous efforts have focused on disability, gender and caste separately, but few studies have attempted to understand the inter-relationship between them or where they co-exist. This study explored this complex relationship and the multiple perspectives of Dalit women with and without disability about their access and utilization of maternal health care services with the assumption that all of these factors interacting

  • Struggle for Environmental Justice Aug 23.Indd
    Chapter Five From Local Resistance to a Movement The restrictions imposed by the Park on daily life have produced immense hardship for the indigenous communities that live in Chitwan. Their livelihoods have been seriously affected, especially those of the landless Bote-Majhi and Musahar. Fishing and harvesting of forest products is no longer possible. The nutritional standards of the communities have fallen noticeably. The struggle launched by the people, to which this study now turns its attention, has to be understood as a struggle for life. Gradually, a mass movement has evolved, but it has very much remained a grassroots movement. Emergence of MMBKSS The resistance movement of the indigenous people started in 1983/84 (2040 BS) ‘before democracy’. Ten active individuals from different villages organised informal meetings to discuss their problems. Their efforts did not go unchallenged, particularly by local elites (e.g., landlords). Bote-Majhi leaders were persuaded to renounce their attempt to register a formal organisation. In response to complaints filed by local elites, police took action. By 1986 (2042 BS) arrest warrants had been issued for the leaders of the movement. Once, while mobilising the people, the leaders were forced to take refuge in the forest and went underground for months. They hid in the forests of Gajapur across from Sighrauli. Amar Bahadur Majhi, Jit Bahadur Majhi and his wife, Buli Ram Majhi, Tej Bahadur Bote, Hari Bahadur Musahar, Kaliya Musahar, and others had to desert their villages. Interestingly, they report that Army personnel were fairly cooperative while they hid inside the National Park and relied on the products of the forest.
