They have also organised vocational training for IDP camps. GOAL, has already completed CGI distribution in Syaphru, Dhunche and Gatlang. Currently, GOAL is distributing blankets from IOM. Similarly, GOAL is doing various assessments of household, market, winterisation in its 3 working VDC. GOAL is also planning for shelter construction in Dhunche, Syaphru and Gatlang. Discussion on re-constructing Langtang area LDO invited all the interested I/NGOs to work in permanent shelter construction in Langtang VDC. LDO mentioned about the cultural shelter construction model in Gatlang and Langtang area and also showed interest to see the shelter construction model prepared by different I/NGOs. LDO also mentioned about the limitation of timber that for shelter construction program in Northern Rasuwa because of the area of National Park. Proposed Shelter in Langtang area are; in Goda Tabela 20 Shelter, in Rimiche 6 shelter, in Thamchet 20 shelter, in Sindup 20 shelter and in Kyanjin 20 shelter. LDO informed that there is committee formed in Kathmandu for Re-establishing the Langtang area. Reporting Template for NGOs GIZ have recruited a staff in DDRC to assist Government in reporting.

Missing name of the active organization in Shelter Cluster document (List of actors operating in Rasuwa) NAF, Action AID, District Lang Right Forum, Samaritan Purse, ADRA Nepal Other discussions: LDO and CDO updated that government has not come up with a straight planning about shelter construction. However, they are not encouraging any organisation to construct Temporary Shelter and are requesting organisations to build permanent shelter instead. CDO and LDO have also NGO’s working in Rasuwa to organise a monitoring and evaluations trip of their activities. Manikor Society in support of Lutheran World Federation, distributed CGI sheet in Gatlang VDC last week, and are in the process of planning additional shelter assistance in Gatlang, meaning a duplication of CGI distribution has occurred, as GOAL are already working in Gatlang. Further discussions necessary to conclude on best course of action going forward.

  • Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Rasuwa OSOCC Assessment Cell 10.05.2015
    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Rasuwa OSOCC Assessment Cell 10.05.2015 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 Rasuwa is one of the worst affected districts by the 25 April earthquake. As of 8 May, 430 people have been reported killed and 753 injured (MoFA 08/05/2015). Most of those that died in the district were killed in an avalanche that buried inhabtants of Langtang village including tourists in the guesthouses. Some remote areas are yet to be reached or accounted for. More than 63% of the district’s territory is at an elevation of more than 3000 meters. Of the remaining territory, most parts are located at an elevation between 1000 – 3000 meters (University of Copenhagen 2005) and parts of Rasuwa were without road access even before the earthquake, further challenging the relief effort. In the first few days after the earthquake very little information was available from Rasuwa. Field reports have gradually come in that help understand thesituation. Initial estimates based on Government data of damaged buildings in the affected districts, suggests that 82% of the population of Rasuwa have been affected by the earthquake. According to Government data, 8,000 buildings were destroyed in the earthquake. This figure is however unconfirmed and represents a preliminary estimate based on the combination of reports from a range of sources providing information on needs at the VDC level1(Please see map below for an illustration of aggregated number of reported people in need).

The study has succeeded in unveiling the situation of Tamang in the project-affected areas, particularly Haku, Ramche and Dhunche of Rasuwa. International human rights instruments pertaining to indigenous peoples (IPs) provide IPs the right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) and meaningful participation in development projects carried out in their lands and territories. Similarly, private sector actors are also obliged to respect the human rights of affected communities prior to, during and after the implementation of the project. But both the government and private sector often ignore the presence of IPs in the project site and engage in violation of rights of IPs and local communities in the project area. The Upper Trishuli-1 project is a representative case where provisions of international human rights instruments including the principle of FPIC have been violated.

  • Landslide Susceptibility in Rasuwa District of Central Nepal After the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake
    Journal of Nepal Geological Society, 2019, vol. 59, pp. 79–88 DOI: https://doi.org/103126/jngs.v59i0.24992 Landslide susceptibility in Rasuwa District of central Nepal after the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake *Badal Pokharel1,2 and Prem Bahadur Thapa1 1Department of Geology, Tri-Chandra Multiple Campus, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Himalayan Risk Research Institute, Bhaktapur, Nepal *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The 2015 Gorkha Earthquake (7.8 Mw) triggered several landslides in central Nepal with major damages in 14 districts. Among them, the Rasuwa district at the north of Kathmandu Valley faced severe landslides due to rugged topography, complex geology and improper landuse development. The landslides had blocked the Pasang Lhamu Highway and dammed the Trishuli River at many places. A total of 1416 landslide locations were detected in the district from high resolution satellite images in Google Earth. In this study, landslide susceptibility was modeled in the Rasuwa District by considering slope, aspect, elevation, geology, peak ground acceleration (PGA), landuse, drainage proximity and thrust proximity as the predictive factors for landslide occurrences. The landslide inventory was split into 70% and 30% portions as the training dataset and testing dataset respectively. The results from modified frequency ratio (FR) suggest that effect of geology with prediction rate 2.52 is the highest among all factors and is followed by elevation (2.38) and drainage proximity (2.12). The results were verified using area under curve (AUC) and the prediction rate was found to be 79.14%. The computed landslide susceptibility map is helpful for landuse planning and landslide risk reduction measure in the Rasuwa District.

  • Nepal Earthquake Response Inter-Cluster Coordination, Kathmandu
    Nepal Earthquake Response Inter-Cluster Coordination, Kathmandu Prioritisation for inter-agency cargo transport 1. Background Considering the heavy demand for logistics services including storage, road and air transport, the Logistics Cluster asked OCHA to coordinate the consolidation of priority in terms of cargo through the inter-cluster coordination group. The ICC group at its meeting on 15 June 2015 agreed to develop a list of priority emergency relief items and their destinations for airlifting. The resulting note below was endorsed by the Humanitarian Country Team on 15 July. 2. Prioritisation for air transport Key parameters for prioritising relief items for airlifting are as follows: Alignment with the flash appeal strategy: “The first priority of the response is to reach the worst affected and those in the farthest affected mountainous areas before the monsoons cause further damage and cut off access. … Because of the urgency of delivering soon … and given the limitations on the size, weight, and types of cargo that can be handled, the first focus will be on providing essential supplies to help these vulnerable populations through the rains. Typically these would include tarps, tools, blankets, food, water tablets, and other essential NFIs.” (page 12) Sectors in order of priority: 1) Shelter, 2) Food, 3) Health, 4) WASH, 5) Education, 6) Nutrition. Sectors in terms of percentage of cargo to be transported (planned target by weight): Shelter 50%, Food 40%, Other Sectors 10% Geographic coverage: Hard-to-reach areas of Gorkha, Dhading, Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Sindhupalchowk, Dolakha and areas adjacent to these districts Internal district prioritisation is set at the district level in accordance with their much more thorough planning and knowledge, in coordination with district authorities and through clusters.

  • 49086-001: Upper Trishuli 1 Hydroelectric Power Project
    Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Final Report (Part 2) Project Number: 49086-001 June 2018 NEP: Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project Prepared by Environmental Resources Management (ERM) for the Nepal Water & Energy Development Company Pvt. Ltd. And the Asian Development Bank. The environmental and social impact assessment report is a document of the borrower. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent those of ADB's Board of Directors, Management, or staff, and may be preliminary in nature. In preparing any country program or strategy, financing any project, or by making any designation of or reference to a particular territory or geographic area in this document, the Asian Development Bank does not intend to make any judgments as to the legal or other status of any territory or area. Non-Technical Updated Environmental and Social Assessment Summary Report Chapter 6 Upper-Trishuli Hydroelectric Power Project Current Environmental and Social Baseline Conditions (Bajracharya et al. 2011) indicate climate change will affect flow regimes, as glaciers continue to decline in some parts of the region and monsoon patterns may become altered. Hydrographic data for the Project are based on a 44-year record of continuous daily observations made at Betrawati (Gauge Station 447, Nepal Department of Hydrology and Meteorology), located 14 kilometres downstream of the proposed UT-1 powerhouse (see Figure 6.1-8). To predict daily hydrographs at the UT-1 intake, Betrawati gauge data are adjusted downward by a factor of 0.8971 to account for the slightly smaller watershed area upstream of the gauge. The daily hydrographs show the extent of variation in daily discharge for representative low-flow and high-flow in years 1970 and 2000 respectively (see Figure 6.1-9).
