The basic purpose of ASTHA, therefore, is to work with the poor and disadvantaged people and their organizations/groups at the grassroots level as a mechanism of enhancing their capacity for rural development. ASTHA's role in the process of development is to serve disadvantaged people by acting as a development catalyst and service provider towards the achievement of organizational goal. Since, the establishment of this organization started with working in rural empowerment and socio-economic development.

During this period, based on the fivefold approach of Village Development - education, health, livelihood, renewable energy and self-government, it has been involved in the implementation various development programmes and projects to address the crucial problems of the country and people.

Besides, it has also implemented activities that produced quick impacts at the many rural communities within a short period. Such activities included the rural infrastructure development, renewable energy promotion, life skill dev elopment, and group savings and credit programmes, among others. Of late, in considering the escalating plights of conflict affected Nepalese people resulting from the continued perpetual poverty, inequity and absence of a stable and competent government, ASTHA has been focusing on the conflict affected areas as well by pursuing an approach of ‘conflict sensitive development’ with the intention of creating an enabling environment for peace building.

3. National Rural and Renewable Energy Programme (NRREP) Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) continuously plays a leading role to develop RETs since 1996 to till the date in Nepal through support from development partners and GoN. After the second phase of the Energy Sector Assistance Program (ESAP II), National Rural and Renewable Energy Programme (NRREP) have been launched through the support of GoN and development partners (Danida, DfID, the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, KfW, SNV and UNDP) as a single programme modality to promote Renewable Energy Technologies (RET).

The development objective of the National Rural and Renewable Energy Programme (NRREP) is to improve the living standard of rural women and men, increase employment of women and men as well as productivity, reduce dependency on tra ditional energy and attain sustainable development through integrating the alternative energy with the socioeconomic activities of women and men in rural communities.

NRREP has a clear emphasis on effectively reaching out to the more remote and poorest part of the country, it will apply demand led approaches actively involving beneficiaries in decision making, and support use of energy for productive purposes leading to income and employment increase in rural areas, and it has mainstreamed Gender and Social Inclusion (GESI) into the programme at all levels. Regional Service Center (RSC) ASTHA Nepal has been working at nine districts namely; Banke, Bardiya, Surkhet, Jajarkot, Dailekh, Kalikot, Humla, Mugu and Jumla. on RE Sector development since 2013 in support of AEPC through National Rural and Renewable Energy Project (NRREP). ASTHA Nepal planned the target for FY 2016-17 through AEPC/NRREP budget but unfortunately, NRREP program had closed down from 1st May, 2017. So, in this report we mention the reporting period 16 July, 2016- 30 April, 2017 for AEPC/NRREP and from 1st May, 2017- 15 July 2017 for AEPC/GON fund period. 2.1 Key results of the Project: The key results of the projects under different component/ sub component for the Fiscal year 2073-74 are as follows:

7. Poverty Reduction Support Program (PRSP), Achham Poverty Reduction Support Program (PRSP) covers Panchdewal Binayak municipality ward no 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 and Mellekh Rural Municipality ward no 1, 2, and 3 of as a “Partner Organization” (PO) of Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF). The program adopts inclusive and participatory development approach for socio economic betterment and poverty reduction of the most vulnerable section of the society.

ASTHA Central office at Mangalsain, Achham coordinates the project interventions. Total 7 staffs that include one Project Coordinator, Sub. Engineer and Social Mobilizers are working under this project.

Basically, we are dedicated to play the role of mediator between community and PAF to transfer the spirit of PAF to poor and implement the matters extracted from the sprit among them. As a Partner Organization (PO) our role is guided by the norms of PAF, principally to work for social mobilization and capacity building of the community organizations as well as facilitate the Community Organizations (COs) in preparing proposals and implementing the sub projects. Furthermore, ASTHA is responsible for the smooth implementation and monitoring of the community sub projects as well as other necessary actions. The target communities are the sole actor. They have planned and are planning what they need and prioritized and prorate on the basis of their capacity and local resource potentials We are investing our energy to link the COs and PAF to develop Direct-Funding Mechanism to COs for the effective implementation of the sub-projects according to PAF’s norms. By this action the resources are provided directly to the COs, and thereby transparency and efficiency of work and community ownership is expected. We have considered the PAF’s principle that the poor themselves are the best source of information and the best managers to manage their needs and resource and we do not confuse with to equip them by external information and facilitate to transfer the skill as per the need of the community and circumstance according to the objective envisioned by PAF. We have been regularly facilitating the Community Organizations for planning, designing and management of the sub projects by them to develop them as an established institution to run in long term. As the COs are facilitated, it is believed that the transparency in technical and financial process of the sub projects will be maintained highly. For this purpose we have encouraged to follow the PAF’s provision to maintain display boards at project sites and carry out public audit periodically during different capacity building trainings and other occasions.
