Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015
Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015 This report is produced by the OSOCC Assessment Cell based on secondary data from multiple sources, including the Government of Nepal, UNDAC, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organisation and media sources. I. Situation Overview Gorkha, with a population of more than 271,000, is one of the worst-affected districts.1 The epicenter of the earthquake was in Brapok, 15km from Gorkha town. As of 6 May, 412 people have been reported killed and 1,034 injured. In the southern part of the district, food has been provided, but field observations indicate that the food supplied might not be enough for the actual population in the area. Several VDCs in the mountainous areas of Gorkha are yet to be reached by humanitarian assistance. There are no roads in these northern areas, only footpaths. The level of destruction within the district and even within VDCs varies widely, as does the availability of food. A humanitarian hub has been set up at the Chief District Officer’s (CDO) premises in Gorkha town. Reported number of people in need (multiple sources) The figures featured in this map have been collected via multiple sources (district authorities, Red Cross, local NGO, media). Where multiple figures for the same location have been reported the highest one was taken. These figures are indicative and do not represent the overall number of people in need. 1 This is an updated version of the Gorkha District Profile that was published by ACAPS on 1 May 2015. As with other mountain areas of Nepal, Gorkha contains popular locations for foreign trekkers.

However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education.

Chapter 5 Recovery and Development of Regional Economy
Gorkha District BBB Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan 2073/74–2082/2083 CHAPTER 5 RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL ECONOMY 5.1 Introduction Recovery of the agricultural sector is mainly composed of the reconstruction of agriculture related facilities such as warehouses and food processing facilities, and the improvement of farming such as improved seed and vegetable growing . The livestock industry was also damaged due to the collapse of sheds because of the earthquake and landslides. Since livestock is a major asset for farmers in the district, compensation of the loss of assets is also a priority of the economic development sector. The Gorkha District has various tourism sources such as cultural heritages and trekking routes with beautiful landscapes. Transportation to these sites and trekking trails were damaged by the earthquake and landslides including Manaslu circuit. After the urgent recovery, integrated tourism planning is essential for future economic growth. People engaging in cottage the industry lost their source of livelihood because their workplaces were at their homes which were built using low masonry structures. Providing new employment opportunities to the affected population should be prioritized. Summary: Policies for Recovery and Development of Regional Economy Policy Programme Project Recovery and Recovery and Promotion of Agricultural buildings and infrastructure recovery Development Agriculture Revitalization of agricultural activities of Regional Agricultural training for farmers Economy Agricultural logistics and supply chain development Recovery and Promotion of Tourism infrastructure rehabilitation and Tourism development Revitalize Community Based Tourism Tourism resources development HRD for tourism sector Recovery of Trade and Other Recovery and Promotion of Small industry Industry HRD and job creation on small and cottage Industry 5.2 Recovery and Promotion of Agriculture The damage to agriculture deprived a majority of the population of an income source.

At the Heart of the Earthquake Epicenter
AT THE HEART OF THE EARTHQUAKE EPICENTER Addressing Reproductive Health Needs in Gorkha May-September 2015 Kabita BK got married at the age of 16. At only 17 she gave birth to her first child at home with the help of a traditional birth attendant. Now at 20 Kabita is pregnant with her second child, but this time she wants to give birth in a health facility. She lost her house in the devastating earthquake and has been living in a temporary shelter since. In preparation to her baby’s arrival Kabita visited the reproductive health camp in Gankhu Village Development Committee (VDC) of Gorkha, close to her current shelter, which was carried out in the aftermath of the earthquake. After a medical consultation with a gynecologist and a series of tests she says cheerfully: “This is the first time that I am having an ultrasound done and I am very happy to see that my baby is healthy. It’s convenient to have a maternal facility in our own village”. “The long distance to the hospital in our district headquarters makes it difficult to get check-ups and medical services in those facilities are too expensive.” At the time of the earthquake there were over 78,000 women of reproductive age (15-49) with different reproductive health needs1 in Gorkha district. Gorkha was one of the most affected districts with 449 deaths, 1,348 injuries and 67,397 households destroyed out of 72,0752. Kabita is one example of early childbearing who was deprived of basic reproductive health (RH) services.
