Nepal Response Nepal Response Operation Overview as of 6 May 2015 The Logistics Cluster, when activated in an emergency, is responsible for providing logistics coordination, information management; and, where there is a gap in logistics infrastructure, it acts as a ‘Provider of Last Resort’ by offering common logistics services to support the humanitarian community in their response operations. Logistics Coordination, Information Management and GIS The Logistics Cluster was formally activated on 27 April. Logistics Cluster Cells have been established in Kathmandu and Deurali. Meetings are held on a regular basis both locations. Information is disseminated on a daily basis both through the mailing list of organisations on the ground and via the Logistics Cluster website. The Logistics Cluster has a dedicated GIS officer able to take requests from the humanitarian community for any logistics mapping required. As of 6 May, over 120 participants from 54 organisations attended the coordination meetings KTM Airport Capacity Augmentation From the start of the operation, the Logistics Cluster established regular coordination with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) to avoid logistics bottlenecks, and one representative has been made available to advise the humanitarian community on customs procedures in Kathmandu. To enable rapid rotations of aircrafts on the landing strip, equipment including forklifts, tele-handlers, and tractors have been deployed by DFID and IOM for enabling a faster offloading of humanitarian cargo. Shunting services are available from Kathmandu International Airport (KTM) apron to the Humanitarian Staging Area (HSA). Air Transport UNHAS currently has one Mi8 and one AS350 helicopters providing cargo transport as well as a passenger service for the humanitarian community. As of May 6, UNHAS has transported over 15 mt of humanitarian cargo on behalf of three organisations. Destinations include Deurali, Kashigaun-Singla-Laprak Lapu-Manbu -Prok Dhunche Laprak. Keruja, Samagaun, Kharibot, Charikot, Chamchet, Ripche, Lho, Man Civ/Mil Coordination The Logistics Cluster is facilitating cargo operations and providing logistics support through the deployment of Civ/Mil Coordinators in Kathmandu to liaise regarding the use of civ / mil assets on behalf of the humanitarian community. The Logistics Cluster is coordinating with partners for air transport, to be provided by the US Air Forces, by helicopters to deliver relief supplies. Destinations are based on needs. Since the start of the operation on 4 May, 32 pallets of tarpaulins have been facilitated on military transport for one organisation. www.logcluster.org Nepal Response Storage Humanitarian Staging Area - Kathmandu WFP, as the lead agency of the Logistics Cluster and as part of the Logistics Response Plan drafted in 2013, established a Humanitarian Staging Area (HSA) as a contingency plan in the event of a natural disaster. The HSA has been established to avoid congestion at the main entry points of affected areas and ease the flow of life-saving commodities, where large-scale relief activities are being undertaken. A storage facility in Dhulikhel (Kavre district) will be established to increase the HSA capacity, to help de-congest KTM and to offer storage capacity for international air shipments before onward movement. Currently eight Mobile Storage Units (MSUs) with total capacity of 2,560 m2 are operational. As of 6 May, a total of 2,600 m3 / 750 mt of interagency cargo has been stored on behalf of 41 organisations Regional logistics hubs Staging areas and logistics hubs will be established within Nepal in the affected areas and located at places where the road infrastructure still allows larger trucks to reach, and where local air operations can be supported. Locations include Chautara (Sindhipalchock district) Bharatpur, and Birgunj (at the Nepali/Indian border). A logistics hub in Deurali (Gorkha district) is operational with four MSUs erected with a total capacity of 960 m2. Road Transport To augment the transport capacity, a 25 truck fleet is available from Kathmandu for inter-agency cargo movements for deliveries towards the affected areas. A fleet of off-road trucks is positioned at the field logistics hub in Deurali. Road transport assets will be further deployed based on need. As of 6 May, a total of 553 m3 / 179 mt of interagency cargo has been transported by the WFP truck fleet on behalf of 20 organisations. www.logcluster.org Nepal Response www.logcluster.org .

    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015 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 Gorkha, with a population of more than 271,000, is one of the worst-affected districts.1 The epicenter of the earthquake was in Brapok, 15km from Gorkha town. As of 6 May, 412 people have been reported killed and 1,034 injured. In the southern part of the district, food has been provided, but field observations indicate that the food supplied might not be enough for the actual population in the area. Several VDCs in the mountainous areas of Gorkha are yet to be reached by humanitarian assistance. There are no roads in these northern areas, only footpaths. The level of destruction within the district and even within VDCs varies widely, as does the availability of food. A humanitarian hub has been set up at the Chief District Officer’s (CDO) premises in Gorkha town. Reported number of people in need (multiple sources) The figures featured in this map have been collected via multiple sources (district authorities, Red Cross, local NGO, media). Where multiple figures for the same location have been reported the highest one was taken. These figures are indicative and do not represent the overall number of people in need. 1 This is an updated version of the Gorkha District Profile that was published by ACAPS on 1 May 2015. As with other mountain areas of Nepal, Gorkha contains popular locations for foreign trekkers.

  • RE Subsidy Policy, 2073(English)
    (Unofficial Translation) Government of Nepal Ministry of Population and Environment Renewable Energy Subsidy Policy, 2073 BS May 2016 1. Background Nepal is endowed with good renewable energy potential. The major sources of renewable energy are mini and micro hydropower, solar energy, various forms of biomass energy, biogas and wind energy etc. Despite huge renewable energy potential, still around 85% of the total final energy consumption in Nepal is met by traditional biomass energy and around 28% of households (HHs) in Nepal do not have access to electricity. It is not possible to significantly improve the living standard of the low income population living in the rural areas if their renewable energy demand is not met. Extension of national grid to reach those areas is not possible in many years to come due to difficult terrain, high cost and existing energy crisis in the country. Therefore, clean and sustainable energy such as Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) needs to be developed as immediate and long-term solutions. The economic hardship of people living in the rural areas and the high initial cost of the RETs justifies the need of subsidy and concessional credit facilities to increase access to cleaner energy. 2. Past Efforts The Government of Nepal (GoN) has been supporting promotion and development of RETs since more than past two decades with support from Development Partners (DPs), private sector and non- governmental organizations. These initiatives have resulted in significant fruitful achievements in the development of renewable energy in the country. The GoN and DPs have been providing financial and technical support to increase energy access in the rural areas both for household's consumption and productive end uses.

Tourism is vulnerable sector that has been experiencing major crises from disasters. Nepal is one of the world’s 20 most disaster-prone countries where earthquakes are unique challenges for tourism. Nepal has to be very optimistic about the future of tourism as it has huge potentials to be the top class tourist destinations by implementing best practices and services. Gorkha tourism requires a strategy that will help manage crises and rapid recovery from the damages and losses. This paper attempts to explain tourism potentials of Gorkha, analyze the impacts of devastating earthquakes on tourism and outline guidelines to revive tourism in Gorkha. Key words: Disasters. challenges, strategies, planning, mitigation, positive return. Background Gorkha is one of the important tourist destinations in Nepal. Despite its natural beauty, historical and religious importance, diverse culture, very close from the capital city Kathmandu and other important touristic destinations Pokhara and Chitwan, tourism in Gorkha could not have been developed expressively. Gorkha was the epicenter of 7.8 earthquake on April 25, 2015 in Nepal that damaged or destroyed the tourism products and tourism activities were largely affected. Tourism is an expanding worldwide phenomenon, and has been observed that by the next century, tourism will be the single largest industry in the world. Today, tourism is also the subject of great media attention (Ghimire, 2014:98). Tourism industry, arguably one of the most important sources of income and foreign exchange, is growing rapidly.
