  • (DREF) Nepal: Earthquake
    Disaster relief emergency fund (DREF) Nepal: Earthquake DREF operation n° MDRNP005 GLIDE n° EQ-2011-000136-NPL 21 September 2011 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent emergency response. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. CHF 172,417 has been allocated from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the National Society in conducting rapid assessments and in delivering immediate assistance to some 1,500 families. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: On the evening of 18 September, Nepal was shaken by an earthquake measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale. The epicentre is known to be on the Nepal-India border of Taplejung district of Nepal and Sikkim state of India, with a depth of 19.7 km. Tremors were felt throughout Nepal, Bhutan, and some parts of India and Bangladesh. The full extent of the damage is unclear at this stage as many areas remain inaccessible, due to their remote location as well as heavy rainfall and several landslides. The Government of Nepal does not anticipate a need for external assistance but has activated its National Emergency Operations Centre which has identified seven highly affected districts outside of Kathmandu, mainly in the areas close to the earthquake's epicentre.

School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science Signatures: Advisor:______________________________ Blair Orr Dean:______________________________ Margaret Gale Date:______________________________ ii PREFACE After completing my Bachelors degree, I knew I was not destined for the business career it was assumed I would follow. I moved to the Sierra Mountains in California and began working outdoors. It would have been difficult for me not to become impassioned about the environment there. When I found the Master’s International Program in Forestry at MTU, it seemed the program was created for me. I was ready to learn how to make a difference in both community development and natural resource conservation……. A Community Development Story: Once upon a time, a development office helped build grain storage sheds in a community. Field workers observed rats getting into the sheds and spoke with the villagers about killing the rats. The villagers did not believe it was worth the effort. The agency staff decided to give a small fee for each dead rat as an incentive to kill them. So, people began killing rats and getting paid by the office.

Teku, Kathmandu Tel.: 4240571 Email.: [email protected] Natural Resource, Market Demand and Target Group Analysis of Siraha District1 Abstract MEDEP was piloted in 1998. It expanded to 36 districts by 2010 in its third phase (2008-13). The development objective of the programme was to contribute to reduce poverty among low-income families in rural areas, and to ensure the institutional development and capacity building of local service delivery organizations to work as catalysts in the development of rural micro-enterprise sector. In order to reach its target group, MEDEP conducts natural resource, market demand and target group surveys in the new programme districts. As Siraha was added as a new programme district in the third phase, this study was conducted to furnish these information. On the basis of the major findings, this study concluded that Siraha district has a high potential of developing micro- enterprises to create employment and income-generating opportunities for the MEDEP's target groups. For implementation effectiveness and better results, MEDEP should concentrate its programme on 32 new VDCs clustered around six market centres. Entrepreneurs should be supported in marketing skill development, market survey and marketing.
