and loved ones - It has been a long, long journey to develop this thesis. Throughout the process of the field study to develop a thesis, I have come to realize that I am such a lucky guy. I have been supported and encouraged by an indescribable number of people in this process. I would like to thank deeply the following people: people who supported my safe and comfortable stays while conducting this field research in the heart of the mountains of Nepal, people who gave me intellectual support, and people who have encouraged me from the very beginning and all the way through to the completion of this thesis. I would like to give my deepest and sincerest acknowledgements to the following tremendous individuals. First, I would like to thank Kazumasa Kakimi (OK Baji) who served as the exemplar for this field research as well as my role model. Direct experiences with him in the heart of the mountains of Nepal were the genesis of this research. Without meeting him, I would have never come to visit Nepal regularly and had such impressive experiences with the children and villagers in Nepal. Through direct interaction with him, I have learned new perspectives as well as important values in my life that I will always hold dear. I am deeply grateful to those children at Shree Krishna Secondary School in Bhalaytar Village, Nepal. It

  • SUSTAINABILITY and REPLICABILITY of MULTIPLE-USE WATER SYSTEMS (MUS) Study for the Market Access and Water Technology for Women Project
    -- SUSTAINABILITY AND REPLICABILITY OF MULTIPLE-USE WATER SYSTEMS (MUS) Study for the Market Access and Water Technology for Women project Submitted to: THE UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (USAID) Submitted by: International Water Management Institute (IWMI) In partnership with iDE, SAPPROS, Samjhauta and NTAG IWMI - Nepal office, GPO 8975 EPC 416, Kathmandu, Nepal 12th March 2015 This publication was produced at the request of the United States Agency for International Development. It was prepared independently by Floriane Clement (IWMI), Paras Pokhrel and Tashi Yang Chung Sherpa SUMMARY The concept of multiple-use water services and systems (MUS) has received increasing attention in international water and development fora and has emerged as a promising way to enhance the social and gender equity and productivity of water systems designed for single use, e.g. for irrigation or water supply. In Nepal, several MUS models have been piloted and implemented for more than a decade by the International Development Enterprises (iDE) and a few other development organizations. Whereas the short-term benefits of these systems on gender relationships, women’s empowerment, nutrition and health have been documented, the sustainability and resilience of these systems has not yet been analyzed. The latter is the focus of the research study presented in this report, which was conducted by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) in Western Nepal as part of the USAID-funded Market Access and Water Technology for Women (MAWTW) project. IWMI research team first conducted a rapid appraisal of 16 MUS, most of which were implemented seven to ten years ago under the SIMI program to assess their sustainability.

I would like to thank WWF and all consortium partners (CARE, NTNC, and FECOFUN) for submitting the updated M&E Plan. 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.

  • Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Local Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) are one of the important institutions for local development. They are playing significant role directly and indirectly in the development of local communities since long time back. These organizations work as catalyst for pooling resources both human and natural in a collective manner in order to fulfill local needs of local communities. The process of local development cannot accelerate without giving due attention to the viable local organizations. Rural development concerns basically with improving quality of life of the rural people. This implies the involvement of rural poor in the development process and requires participation of local people in decision-making process and implementation of decisions. The productivity and self-reliance of rural region can only be increased when the mobilization of local energies and use of local resources are made. It requires the organization of local people (United Nations Development Program [UNDP], 1979). In essence, rural development is a strategy designed to improve the economic and social life of the rural poor. It involves the flow of benefits of development to the poorest among those who seek a livelihood in rural areas. The poorest group may include small/peasant farmers, tenants and landless people (World Bank, 1975). In this regard, rural development is basically concerned with improving quality of life of the mass of the subsistence population residing in rural areas and making the process of their development self sustaining and self reliance (Lele, 1975). This goal, however, cannot be achieved without mobilizing the local resources, involving local people in overall development processes and institutionalizing the local people’s organizations.

  • Preparation of Geodatabase for Urban Planning in Nepal
    Preparation of Geodatabase for Urban Planning in Nepal Ashim Babu SHRESTHA, Punya Prasad OLI, Sumitra SHRESTHA, Nepal Key words: GIS, Geodatabase, Urban Planning, Sustainable Urban Development, Decision Making SUMMARY: Geographical Information System (GIS) is capable of integrating geospatial data with various sources of information necessary for effective decision making in urban planning and sustainable urban development. Geodatabase is the input to modelling and analysis programs together with data and other database for analysis and mapping. It has been used to information retrieve, development, control, mapping, site selection, urban planning, suitability analysis, monitoring and decision making. The methodology of preparation of geodatabase from field survey and mapping (tabular data), Orthophoto generation from aerial photographs, satellite data from remote sensing and topography maps from aerial survey or field survey by total station. Geodatabase is an alternative way to store GIS information in one large file, which can contain multiple point, polyline, and polygon layers. Geodatabase is a collection of geographic datasets of various types of common file in single database. Urban Planning is the one of the main application of GIS. Urban planner use the GIS as well as spatial database and analysis tool. GIS increasingly an important component of planning support system. Recent advances in the database of GIS with planning models, visualization, and the internet will make GIS more useful tool for urban planning. The VDCs and municipality of Nepal lack proper base map. They are mostly dependent on 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 scale topographic maps, land resources maps or other available analogue maps which is not sufficient or too coarse to use for urban level planning.
