IMPACT SCREENING OF SUBPROJECT ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLE 1. BACKGROUND OF SUBPROJECT 1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND 1. The Decentralized Rural Infrastructure and Livelihood Project-Additional Financing (DRILP AF) is an extension of DRILP. DRILP was an initiative of GoN and an ADB, SDC, OFID funded project to reduce rural poverty in 18 very poor remote hill and mountainous districts. The project is implemented over 5 years; the duration is from January 2012 to December 2016. The project implementation is to achieve sustainable increased access to socio-economic services and enhance social and financial capital of the people, particularly poor and disadvantaged groups in previous conflict affected areas. DRILP AF aims to reduce the poverty level in 18 project districts from 41 percent to 20 percent by employment generation of 4.7 million person days. The project objectives are achieved through a series of project activities that are broadly grouped into four components: (i) Community Development and Rural Livelihood Restoration; (ii) Capacity Building and Decentralized Governance; (iii) Rural Transport Infrastructure; and (iv) Project Management Services. 2. The Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads (DoLIDAR) is the project Executing Agency (EA) responsible for the overall project coordination, management and implementation. DDCs are the Implementing Agencies (IA) responsible for subproject planning, design, and implementation. DDC is responsible not only for the implementation of the Project but also to coordinate all activities related to resettlement and Indigenous people’s (IP’s) issues. 1.2 ROAD SUB-PROJECT’S BACKGROUND 3. The Baglung-Kushmisera road subproject lies in Baglung district of Western Development Region of Nepal. Construction of this road was started in 2054 B.S. (1997 AD) by Rural Infrastructure Development Project (RIDP). The subproject starts at Kathe Khola Bridge of Bhakunde and ends at Tallo Sarangi of Amalachaur VDC. In between, the road passes through Bhakunde, Paiyupata, Amalachaur and Narayansthan VDCs. Baglung district is connected with the other part of the country by Pokhara-Baglung highway. 4. The subproject is 14.380 km with 10 m right of way, either side 5 m. The road will provide connectivity to district headquarter of Baglung for the people of southern part of the district, Baglung Municipality, Bhakunde, Paiyunpata, Narayansthan, Amalachaur and Kushmisera VDCs. The indirect beneficiaries will be the people living in Damek, Sarkuwa, Rangkhani, Binamare and Raydanda VDCs of Baglung district. This road will save considerable travel time and suppose to improve income generation potentials, enhance commercial opportunities and improve market accessibility. The detail survey and design team has selected the alignment considering the demand of local people and following the existing trail. 1 Detail Project Report Section III Volume 3 Baglung-Kushmisera Road Sub-project, Baglung (Kathekhola-Tallo Sarange Section) Indigenous People Plan 1.3 DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION OF ZOI 5.

  • Improving Maternal Health Services Through Social Accountability Interventions in Nepal: an Analytical Review of Existing Litera
    Nepal et al. Public Health Reviews (2020) 41:31 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40985-020-00147-0 REVIEW Open Access Improving maternal health services through social accountability interventions in Nepal: an analytical review of existing literature Adweeti Nepal1* , Santa Kumar Dangol2 and Anke van der Kwaak3 * Correspondence: anepal7@gmail. com Abstract 1Save the Children, Surkhet, Karnali Province, Nepal Background: The persistent quality gap in maternal health services in Nepal has Full list of author information is resulted in poor maternal health outcomes. Accordingly, the Government of Nepal available at the end of the article (GoN) has placed emphasis on responsive and accountable maternal health services and initiated social accountability interventions as a strategical approach simultaneously. This review critically explores the social accountability interventions in maternal health services in Nepal and its outcomes by analyzing existing evidence to contribute to the informed policy formulation process. Methods: A literature review and desk study undertaken between December 2018 and May 2019. An adapted framework of social accountability by Lodenstein et al. was used for critical analysis of the existing literature between January 2000 and May 2019 from Nepal and other low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) that have similar operational context to Nepal. The literature was searched and extracted from database such as PubMed and ScienceDirect, and web search engines such as Google Scholar using defined keywords. Results: The study found various social accountability interventions that have been initiated by GoN and external development partners in maternal health services in Nepal. Evidence from Nepal and other LMICs showed that the social accountability interventions improved the quality of maternal health services by improving health system responsiveness, enhancing community ownership, addressing inequalities and enabling the community to influence the policy decision-making process.

    Realities and Images of Nepal’s Maoists after the Attack on Beni1 Kiyoko Ogura 1. The background to Maoist military attacks on district head- quarters “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun” – Mao Tse-Tung’s slogan grabs the reader’s attention at the top of its website.2 As the slogan indicates, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) has been giving priority to strengthening and expanding its armed front since they started the People’s War on 13 February 1996. When they launched the People’s War by attacking some police posts in remote areas, they held only home-made guns and khukuris in their hands. Today they are equipped with more modern weapons such as AK-47s, 81-mm mortars, and LMGs (Light Machine Guns) purchased from abroad or looted from the security forces. The Maoists now are not merely strengthening their military actions, such as ambushing and raiding the security forces, but also murdering their political “enemies” and abducting civilians, using their guns to force them to participate in their political programmes. 1.1. The initial stages of the People’s War The Maoists developed their army step by step from 1996. The following paragraph outlines how they developed their army during the initial period of three years on the basis of an interview with a Central Committee member of the CPN (Maoist), who was in charge of Rolpa, Rukum, and Jajarkot districts (the Maoists’ base area since the beginning). It was given to Li Onesto, an American journalist from the Revolutionary Worker, in 1999 (Onesto 1999b).
