As of August 28, 2020 Nepal had 36,456 cases with 195 deaths. By April 4, 2021 this figure had increased to 277,944 cases with 3,032 deaths. Under the DRG-LER Contract, USAID asked NORC to design and undertake research on the Nepali local governments’ (LGs) response to COVID-19. The primary goal of this research is to explore the effectiveness of local governments in addressing the COVID-19 crisis across four key research questions at the local level, specifically in Province 2 and Province 7 (Sudurpaschim). RESEARCH QUESTION 1 deals with LGs’ functions with respect to COVID-19 response, the roles and responsibilities for municipalities (Palikas) and wards (both urban and rural), and their cooperation and/or coordination with other levels of government in providing this response. RESEARCH QUESTION 2 focuses on the capacity of LGs to deliver COVID-19 related services; if the provision of COVID-19 services affects the delivery of other government services; and the perception of the public towards LGs as they continue to respond to COVID-19. RESEARCH QUESTION 3 examines if LGs developed partnerships with other entities, specifically CSOs and the private sector, in the provision of COVID-19 related services and the ways in which they did so; how LGs engaged the private sector to address the effect on supply-chains; and the short-term and long-term repercussions on the economy and household livelihoods. RESEARCH QUESTION 4 describes the funds that were mobilized and provided for COVID-19 response; the systems of control and transparency that were established; how funds were used; the current local planning process (April-June 2020) of municipalities to deal with COVID-19, and if the plans target the most vulnerable groups of the communities. In Nepal, the provision of various health and economic services at the municipal (Palika) level related to the COVID-19 response is exacerbated by challenges in implementing a constitutionally mandated transition to a more decentralized form of government that began in 2017 with the formation of The Federal Parliament of Nepal. Thus clear functional responsibilities, coordination and collaboration between the federal, provincial and local levels of government in providing these services are critical, especially for the COVID-19 response. NORC collected data from both the supply side (entities providing the COVID-19 response) and the demand side (citizens, nongovernmental organizations and private sector actors requesting a response due to the pandemic). On the supply side, NORC conducted key informant interviews (KIIs) with LG officials at the provincial and municipal level, federal government officials from ministries engaged in COVID-19 decision-making, USAID implementing partners (IPs), and Donor staff. On the demand side, NORC conducted focus group discussions (FGDs) with citizen beneficiaries of COVID-19 services, with a particular focus on migrant workers returning from India and vulnerable (low income) populations. NORC also conducted FGDs with civil society organizations (CSOs) and private sector representatives as they sought economic relief from the government and also collaborated with the municipal government in responding to the pandemic. Based on the initial findings from KIIs with municipal officials, NORC drafted a short computer assisted telephone interview (CATI) survey for additional municipal officials in Province 2 and USAID.GOV EFFECTIVENESS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN NEPAL TO ADDRESS COVID-19 | 1 CONTRACT NO.: GS-10F-0033M / AID-OAA-M-13-00013 / DRG-LER TASKING N083 Sudurpaschim.

Box 7660, Baluwatar, Kathmandu, Nepal First approved on April 18, 2013 Updated and approved on January 5, 2015 Updated and approved on July 31, 2015 Updated and approved on August 31, 2015 Updated and approved on January 19, 2016 January 19, 2016 Ms. Judy Oglethorpe Chief of Party, Hariyo Ban Program WWF Nepal Baluwatar, Kathmandu Subject: Approval for revised M&E Plan for the Hariyo Ban Program Reference: Cooperative Agreement # 367-A-11-00003 Dear Judy, This letter is in response to the updated Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (M&E Plan) for the Hariyo Program that you submitted to me on January 14, 2016. 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.
