  • Government of Nepal
    Terms of Reference (TOR) For Consultant Services for the preparation of Biodiversity Action Plan Introduction 1. Nepal Electricity Authority ("NEA" or the "Developer"), the largest corporate body fully owned by the Government of Nepal and responsible for electric power planning, construction, generation, transmission and distribution in the country, is implementing the Tamakoshi-V 99.8 MW hydropower project (the "Project" or “TV-HEP”) under Tamakoshi Jalvidhyut Company. The EIA of the proposed project was prepared and got approval from the Ministry of Population and Environment (MoPE) in May 2016. 2. The Ministry of Finance under the Government of Nepal has requested the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (the "AIIB") to consider financing the Project. 3. Based on a site visit and a review of the Project documentation, the AIIB has identified three workstreams to be undertaken to ensure the Project meets the requirements of the Environmental and Social Policy (ESP) of the AIIB. These are: o Supplemental Environmental and Social (E&S) Documentation (SESD) o Biodiversity Action Planning o Free, Prior and Informed Consultation Process for Indigenous Peoples 4. Given the specialized expertise required, the latter two workstreams are being contracted independently with stand-alone deliverables. However, given the interlinkages, the three workstreams will be expected to coordinate closely when necessary 5. The present terms of reference describe the scope of the Biodiversity Action Planning. Because the Project is located within the Gaurishankar Conservation Area, the AIIB is seeking consultant services to prepare a stand-alone Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) that outlines the Project’s overall biodiversity strategy, including goals and objectives for mitigating and managing impacts.

  • A Review of Disaster Pattern in the Bigu Rural Municipality of Dolakha District and Their Management
    Texila International Journal of Management Volume 5, Issue 1, Jan 2019 Community Support During Disasters- A Review of Disaster Pattern in the Bigu Rural Municipality of Dolakha District and their Management Article by Amit Chakarwarty MBA, Management, Texila American University E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this research, I am focusing to identify the causes of disaster occurrences and the coping mechanism of the vulnerable community. This research will cover the action plan of preparedness and community capacity for disaster management. Nepal is one of the most disaster-prone countries of the world due to complex geophysical condition and poor socio-economic situation. The country is facing various types of natural disasters like: flood, landslide, fire, earthquake, windstorm, hailstorm, lightning, glacier lake outburst flood, drought, epidemic, avalanche and so on. Further it is also exposed to various types of natural disasters due to rugged and steep topography, extreme weather events, and fragile geological conditions. The key research question is the analysis of the community’s resilience to the frequent natural and man-made disasters. This will include understanding of: the ín-situ’coping ways of the community within their families as a unit and the preparedness measures that they have and how do they act when disaster occurs. The research will further investigate and analyse the patterns of the disasters in the study area, the impact of the past disasters on the community and the landscape. These actions will help in framing the project narrative describing the disaster patterns, impacts, community coping mechanisms incl. preparedness and mitigation measures.
