    Nepal Monthly Situation Updates Issue No. 57, covering the period 1-31 January 2010 Kathmandu, 10 February 2010 I. HIGHLIGHTS • High-level political mechanism formed to support the peace process • WFP receives US$ 8 million from DFID to provide relief for food-insecure in coming months • United Nations Security Council extends UNMIN mandate until 15 May 2010 • Prime Minister addressed the 12 th Earthquake Safety Day in Kathmandu • Disqualified Maoist combatants discharged from multiple cantonments across the country • H5N1 outbreak confirmed in Pokhara, Kaski district • Emergency Response Fund (ERF) rolled out for Nepal II. CONTEXT During the reporting period, progress in the political sphere – with the creation of the High Level Political Mechanism (HLPM) to support the peace process and address matters regarding the constitution-drafting process, and the Maoists suspending the fourth phase of their country-wide strikes – coincided with increased insecurity in parts of the country. In the Mid- and Far-Western Regions, for example, security continued to deteriorate, with threats and extortions appearing to be increasing, and frequent protests disrupting daily life. The 26 January killing of a VDC Secretary in Banke district underscored the security-related challenges facing the Government. Political Developments The High Level Political Mechanism (HLPM) was established on 8 January 2010 following an agreement between the top leaders of the three major political parties: Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda”, Chairman of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal–Maoist (UCPN-M); Girija Prasad Koirala, President of the Nepali Congress (NC); and Jhalanath Khanal, Chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal–Unified Marxist Leninist (UML). The HLPM is mandated to support the peace process and constitution-writing, created with the aim of ending the current political impasse.

  • Changes in Ecological Relationships of Argali Magars
    Changes in Ecological Relationships of Argali Magars Man Bahadur Khattri* 1. Introduction Nepali society and culture is identified as diversity of various caste, ethnic and indigenous people, and their colorful cultural practices. The Magars of Argal are one of them. The ethnographic description and various studies show that the Magars of Nepal are the most diverse ethnic group themselves. This diversity is associated with only on regional cultural practices. However, they are also recognized themselves with different local lineal clans. Ecologists seek to establish relationship between population and their natural environment. Cultural ecologists focus their study on human populations and their adaptation to their immediate environment primarily through socio-cultural means (Kottak 1974:19). Human beings like all other animals must maintain adaptive relationships with their ecosystems in order to survive, although they achieve this adaptation principally through the medium of culture (Keesing and Strathern 1998:105). Cultural ecology as a concept and method coined by Julian Steward (1955) means the study of the processes by which a society adapts to its environments. Cultural ecology suggests what aspect of a society we should focus on the study. It also looks local variation of culture in order to adapt environment locally. In this article I have looked the relationships of inter-ethnic and inter-ecological gradients, which mediated by social-cultural mechanism i.e. ista mitra (fictive kin relationship). Ista has played role to with local production and different socio-cultural of two different ecological setting. It tries to demonstrate how socio-cultural processes transform when rice gets closer market access.

    4.2 Characteristics of the systems observed Typology of trade-off between hydropower and irrigation 1. Fewa Irrigation systems are old systems but hydropower plant was installed later on due to topography benefit. Both systems were managed by the government agencies. NEA operates the hydropower but there is no system of revenue sharing between hydropower and irrigation systems. 2. Seti Hydropower and Seti Irrigation system (Kaski- Pokhara) belong to government. From the Seti canal, other hydropower like BiJaypur and Task also are getting water. Irrigation canal is managed and maintained by Department of Irrigation. Recently, the dam of Seti canal was damaged. With the investment of NRS. 50 million rupees, the dam is being rehabilitated. Irrigation command area is changing from agriculture land to other purpose. 3. BiJaypur Irrigation system gave permission for installation of hydropower taking advantage of the fall of water. This initiative was taken by private sector. It is not clear how the benefit is being shared between DOI and Hydropower. 4. Andhi khola – private sector promoted for both irrigation and hydropower. There was strong mandate for benefit sharing between local people and central grid power distribution. 5. Jhimuruk – private sector, already many irrigation systems in existence, benefit sharing, negotiation with local beneficiaries and irrigators, Agreements were made for water release for irrigation purpose during lean period.
