Description of the Project 1. The proposed Subregional Transport Facilitation project involves construction and improvement of ICD in Kakarbhitta, widening and improvement of 29 Km of existing road in Bhairahawa - Parasi section with 0.5 km bypass near Hulaki road; upgrading of 10.2 km at Birganj, widening and improvement of 2 km existing road in Padam road and Jeetput section. The main objective of the Project is to improve border crossing access roads, customs, trans- shipment and freight handling facilities at principal border crossings in Nepal, whereby the sub-regional transport network will be improved between Nepal and India, Bangladesh, Bhutan and other third countries. The proposed activities, total length of the access roads and the land acquisition requirements is shown in the table below.

Ministry of Physical Planning and Works (MPPW) will be the Executing Agency (EA) and Department of Roads (DoR) will be the Implementing Agency for the Project. A revised resettlement plan has been prepared in July 2004. This RP has been prepared based 100 percent census of structures, land record survey and socio-economic survey of 20% of the households within the Zone of Influence in the sub-project areas of Birgunj ICD access road and Bhairahawa-Parasi Road. The Resettlement Plan has been updated based on data from census surveys, however after detailed design EA will submit an updated RP to ADB for approval before award of civil works contract. B. Project Impacts 3. Based on the recent preliminary design of the sub-project components, the proposed access roads connecting Nepal to the Indian border will be improved to a two-lane facility. The ensuing section gives a brief description of the project components and the impacts. Birgunj – ICD Access Road 4. The Birgunj – ICD access road includes improvement and construction of about 12.39 km of road involving a land acquisition of 54.649 ha of land. The sub-project can be divided in two types based upon its COI. The proposed new alignment bypass section of the road under the sub-project that passes from Parwanipur to Padam road to join ICD at Birgunj will have 50 RoW for future expansion. However the construction activity will be carried out on within 18-20 m. In the case of Padam Road section (about 600 meter) and Jeetpur section (about 1.727 km) it is designed to be of 30 meter width. 5. The proposed alignment covers a major marketing and industrial area in Jeetpur bazaar and Parwanipur (from where the bypass starts for the Dry Port). Between Jeetpur and Parwanipur there is a portion of Tribhuvan highway and both are part of the industrial area. Similarly, there is also an emerging scope of market area development along Padam Road near Dry Port. In this sense, the existing market facility, access to the market and future scope of market development in the area is obvious in the sub-project area after the implementation of proposed project 6. An estimated 54.649 ha of land will be acquired for the Birganj ICD access road. There is a cattle (buffalo) market (0.5 ha) at the adjoining area of existing Jitpur road. The land is owned by the Village Development Committee (VDC), which will be required to be pushed back in close consultation with VDC and local people, as adequate VDC land is available. Bhairahawa – Parasi Road Improvement 7. For the stretch from Bhairahawa to Nawalparasi, the width of the road is approximately 11m including hard shoulder on both sides (18 m COI). The road begins from the zero chainage at Devkota Chowk at Siddharthanagar Municipality of Rupandehi district towards east to Parasi. The road links two districts; Rupandehi and Nawalparasi. There is about 2.5 k.m existing single lane bituminous road with 3.5 meter width in between Siddharthanagar Municipality to Basantapur VDC of Rupandehi district. The proposed alignment crosses at 2.9 k.m. along the Ramgram municipality area of Nawalparasi district. The alignment passes through both Municipality and Village Development Committees (VDCs) of the both districts. 8. The major accesses to the proposed alignment are Bhairahawa, Butwal, Maheshpur and Sunauli of India. Similarly, a two lane bituminous road has been found expanded up-to v the chainage 3+500.00 of Basantapur VDC within the proposed alignment. There is also a settlement in Basantapur VDC area immediately after crossing the Danda river which is the landmark of distinguishing Siddharthanagar municipality and Basantapur VDC of Rupamdehi district. Another settlement with the possibilities of having better access from the existing and proposed alignment is Dhakdhai Bazaar in between the chainage 5+400.00 to 12+400.0. Likewise, some of the other places expected to be benefited in terms of better access by the proposed alignment are Sukrauli VDC and Bhumai bazaar of Ramnagar VDC of Nawalparasi district (chainage28+600.00 to 29+134.55). The estimated land acquisition requirement for this subproject is 27.03 ha. 9. Thus Birgunj ICD access road and Bhairahawa-Parasi road Improvement require a total land acquisition of 81.679 ha. Except for a narrow strip (less than 0.5 hectare) along the buffalo market located on government land in Jeetpur, the rest is privately owned. In the case of Kakarbhitta ICD Improvement, the technical design has not shown the requirement of land acquisition because the Customs Department already owns 7.5 ha of land which is adequate for the proposed improvement.

As the updated complete list of titleholders name from the government office could not be obtained due to non availability of the complete record, the survey has adopted the number of affected plots as affected houses. In this sense, the extent on the number of households and population could be less than presumed by the study. It is in the sense that a single family could own several plots. 10.

  • Government of Nepal Ministry of Forests and Environment Nepal
    Government of Nepal Ministry of Forests and Environment Nepal Forests for Prosperity Project Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) March 8, 2020 Executive Summary 1. This Environment and Social Management Framework (ESMF) has been prepared for the Forests for Prosperity (FFP) Project. The Project is implemented by the Ministry of Forest and Environment and funded by the World Bank as part of the Nepal’s Forest Investment Plan under the Forest Investment Program. The purpose of the Environmental and Social Management Framework is to provide guidance and procedures for screening and identification of expected environmental and social risks and impacts, developing management and monitoring plans to address the risks and to formulate institutional arrangements for managing these environmental and social risks under the project. 2. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve sustainable forest management1; increase benefits from forests and contribute to net Greenhouse Gas Emission (GHG) reductions in selected municipalities in provinces 2 and 5 in Nepal. The short-to medium-term outcomes are expected to increase overall forest productivity and the forest sector’s contribution to Nepal’s economic growth and sustainable development including improved incomes and job creation in rural areas and lead to reduced Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and increased climate resilience. This will directly benefit the communities, including women and disadvantaged groups participating in Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) as well and small and medium sized entrepreneurs (and their employees) involved in forest product harvesting, sale, transport and processing. Indirect benefits are improved forest cover, environmental services and carbon capture and storage 3. The FFP Project will increase the forest area under sustainable, community-based and productive forest management and under private smallholder plantations (mainly in the Terai), resulting in increased production of wood and non-wood forest products.

It boasts a large diversity of flora and fauna at genetic, species and ecosystem levels. Nepal has several critical sites and wetlands including the fragile Churia ecosystem. These critical sites and biodiversity are subjected to various anthropogenic and climatic threats. Several bilateral partners and donors are working in partnership with the Government of Nepal to conserve Nepal’s rich natural heritage. USAID funded Hariyo Ban Program, implemented by a consortium of four partners with WWF Nepal leading alongside CARE Nepal, FECOFUN and NTNC, is working towards reducing the adverse impacts of climate change, threats to biodiversity and improving livelihoods of the people in Nepal.
