    Pray for Nepal

    Pray for Nepal Manang Kaski Lamjung Gorkha Syangja Tanahu Gandaki, Lamjung Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Thank-You for committing to join with us to pray for the well-being of every village in our wonderful country. Jesus modeled his love for every village when he was going from one city and village to another with his disciples. Next, Jesus would mentor his disciples to do the same by sending them out to all the villages. Later, he would monitor the work of the disciples and the 70 as they were sent out two-by-two to all the villages. (Luke 8-10) But, how can we pray for the 3,984 VDCs in our Country? In the time of Nehemiah, his brother brought him news that the walls of Jerusalem were torn down. The wall represented protection, safety, blessing, and a future. Nehemiah prayed, fasted, and repented for the sins of the people. God answered Nehemiah’s prayers. The huge task to re-build the walls became possible through God’s blessings, each person building in front of their own houses, and the builders continuing even in the face of great persecution. For us, each village is like a brick in the wall. Let us pray for every village so that there are no holes in the wall. Each person praying for the villages in their respective areas would ensure a systematic approach so that all the villages of the state would be covered in prayer. Some have asked, “How do you eat an Elephant?” (How do you work on a giant project?) Others have answered, “One bite at a time.” (One step at a time - in small pieces).

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.
  • Assessing the Impact of Remittance Income on Household Welfare and Land Conservation Investment in Mardi Watershed of Nepal

    Assessing the Impact of Remittance Income on Household Welfare and Land Conservation Investment in Mardi Watershed of Nepal

    Assessing the impact of remittance income on household welfare and land conservation investment in Mardi Watershed of Nepal: A village general equilibrium model Jeetendra Prakash Aryal 1. Introduction International remittance has a vital role in most developing countries on poverty, income distribution, and economic development, especially in rural areas. Migrant remittance flows surpass official development aid receipts in many developing countries (Ratha, 2003). Migration is an increasing phenomenon in Nepal, particularly among young men (Gurung 2003; Seddon et.al. 2002). One out of every 11 Nepali adults is in foreign employment (NLSS, 1997). The people in foreign employment stood well over 1 million in 2004 with a total remittance earning 1 billion USD to the country. Remittance thus has a profound and growing impact on the poverty and resource distribution in the country. Studies have shown that remittances can have different effects at various levels. At households’ levels, it helps increase in income and consumption smoothing (Kannan and Hari, 2002); increase saving and asset accumulation (Hadi, 1999); and improve access to health services, better nutrition (Yang, 2003) and to better education (Edward and Ureta, 2001). Likewise, at village/community level, remittace income can help generate local commodity markets and local employment opportunities. The impacts of remittances on poverty and inequality however, depend on how far poor households are able to join in the process. Participation in off-farm activities changes resource endowments of households, especially labor and capital (Xiaoping et.al. 2005). Thus the increased international and internal migrants’ remittances have dual impacts on the village economy. Firstly, it affects the factor market in the village.

    Abstract Book, First National Conference on Zoology 2020

    First National Conference on Zoology Biodiversity in a Changing World 28-30 November 2020 Abstracts Organized By Supported By: Foreword It is our pleasure to welcome you to the First National Conference on Zoology: Biodiversity in a Changing World on November 28–30, 2020 on a virtual platform. This conference is organized by the Central Department of Zoology and its Alumni on the occasion of the 55th Anniversary of the Department. This conference is supported by the IUCN Nepal, National Trust for Nature Conservation, WWF Nepal and Zoological Society of London Nepal office. The Central Department of Zoology envisioned three important strategies; teaching, research and extension of its strategic plan 2019 – 2023. The First National Conference is one of the most important extension activities of the Department in collaboration with leading conservation organizations of the country. We believe extension activities including national conference will help to mainstream zoology and make priority agenda of the government for research, faunal conservation, national development and employment. The main theme of the conference is “Biodiversity in a Changing World”, which is of utmost importance given global changes that species, ecosystem processes, landscapes and also people currently have to face together. Excessive exploitation of biological resources as well as global changes and the degradation of the natural environment have large-scale effects, some of which directly lead to the extinction of species and impacts on the health of people. The Conference provides us with the opportunity to meet, connect and learn from each other, share latest research results, and eventually envisage feasible means of conciliating human development and protect health of ecosystem and people with biodiversity conservation.

No.: Kathmandu, Nepal Foreword Nepal has made significant progress in achieving good results in school enrolment by having more children in school over the past decade, in spite of the unstable situation in the country. 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.
  • Topographic Signatures in the Himalaya: a Geospatial Survey of the Interaction Between Tectonics and Erosion in the Modi Khola Valley, Central Nepal

    Topographic Signatures in the Himalaya: a Geospatial Survey of the Interaction Between Tectonics and Erosion in the Modi Khola Valley, Central Nepal

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: TOPOGRAPHIC SIGNATURES IN THE HIMALAYA: A GEOSPATIAL SURVEY OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN TECTONICS AND EROSION IN THE MODI KHOLA VALLEY, CENTRAL NEPAL Lisa S. Walsh, M.S., 2009 Directed By: Assistant Professor Aaron Martin, Department of Geology Spurred by the recognition that lithologic resistivity to erosion influences the steepness of terrain, the purpose of this study is to enhance our understanding of feedbacks between erosion and tectonics in the Himalaya. Using spatial statistics, within a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) framework, this study extracts steepness and curvature values from the terrain to identify the unique spatial signature of lithologic units in the Annapurna Range. The spatial relationship of faults and significant changes in river steepness (ksn) and concavity (ș) are examined in this project using high resolution digital elevation models (DEMs), derived from a variety of interpolation methods. Through these quantifications, I explore the possibility of a new model for tectonic activity in central Nepal, in an effort to improve our understanding of how surface processes sculpt the landscape.

Needs and Capacity Assessment of Fourteen Rural and Urban Municipalities on Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in Nepal v Needs and Capacity Assessment of Fourteen Rural and Urban Municipalities on Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in Nepal Executive Summary Nepal’s 2015 constitution set the course for a major shift of power from the Federal to the Provincial and Municipal levels of government. The constitution places the responsibility for ‘Disaster Management’ with local governments. Disaster management is also on the concurrent list for all three jurisdictions and ‘early preparedness for rescue, relief and rehabilitation’ is on the concurrent list for federal and state jurisdictions. The Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Act, 2017 and the Local Government Opeartion Act (LGOA), 2017 include a comprehensive list of disaster management actions for local governments. The DRRM Act integrates all key components of disaster risk reduction and management including measures for risk assessment, investments for risk reduction, strengthening disaster risk governance, preparedness for effective response, recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction.

Multiple hazards and risks are rapidly increasing in Pokhara due to unsustainable land use practices, particularly the increase in built-up areas. This study examines the relationship among urbanization, land use/land cover dynamics and multiple hazard and risk analysis of the Pokhara valley from 1990 to 2013. We investigate some of the active hazards, such as floods, landslides, fire, sinkholes, land subsidence and earthquakes, and prepare an integrated multiple hazard risk map indicating the highly vulnerable zones.
