The Urban Water Supply and Sanitation (Sector) Project (UWSSP) will support the Government of Nepal expand access to community managed water supply and sanitation (WSS) in 20 project municipalities. The project will fund climate-resilient and inclusive WSS infrastructure in project municipalities and strengthen institutional and community capacity, sustainable service delivery, and project development. The project will be implemented over a five-year period (indicative implementation period is 2018 to 2023) and will be supported through ADB financing using a sector lending approach. The project will have the following impact: quality of life for urban population, including the poor and marginalized, through provision of improved sustainable WSS services. The project will have the following outcome: Inclusive and sustainable access to water supply and sanitation services in project municipalities improved. The project will have two outputs: (i) water supply and sanitation infrastructure in project municipalities improved; and (ii) institutional and community capacities strengthened. Subproject Description. Subproject components proposed for water supply in Ilam include: (i) rehabilitation of the non-functioning water treatment plant at Charkhade; (ii) distribution network supplied from reservoir tanks (RVT) at 10 localities, including six new RVTs as well as rehabilitation of four existing RVTs; (iii) four intakes, of which two (Bhandi Khola and Gitang Khola) are existing, old sources, while those at Mewa Khola and Rate Khola are new sources, (iv) transmission network, (v) an office building, (vi) two guard houses and (vii) a dosing house. Indigenous Peoples Plan. In Nepal, adivasis/janajatis are recognized as indigenous peoples. All indigenous peoples living in Ilam municipality will benefit from the water supply and sanitation subproject. Presence of indigenous peoples is found to be predominant in the proposed intake areas, where potential restriction of access to a natural resource (river water) to predominantly indigenous users were initially assessed. This Indigenous Peoples Plan (IPP) addresses potential adverse impacts to the indigenous peoples communities in Maimajhuwa VDC, their avoidance and mitigation, and issues pertaining to inclusion of indigenous peoples in Ilam in project benefits. It is based on ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 on Indigenous Peoples and applicable policies of Government of Nepal. This IPP includes the following measures for indigenous peoples/dalit persons living in proposed intake areas, to be accomplished by the project team (the PMU/PIU): (a) beneficial measures include priority employment in project-related construction activities for indigenous peoples/dalit people of project intake areas, training and employment of indigenous peoples/dalit persons in project operation activities, and connection subsidies for poor indigenous peoples/dalit households in Ilam municipality; and (b) mitigation measures include awareness on livelihood enhancing measures and skills (for agriculture, animal husbandry, poultry as well as non-farm work) for all poor and vulnerable households identified by the ward committee and RPMO with the assistance of RDSMC, as well as skill development training for project operation and maintenance and related freelance skilled work such as plumbing and repair work for selected persons from poor indigenous peoples/dalit households in proposed intake areas, who are interested in such training. Specific budgets for each of the above-mentioned activities are provided in the IPP. In addition, the IPP proposes that the project will coordinate with government for implementation of a watershed management program, using existing government program funds. The above-mentioned activities, their timelines and budgets in the IPP, are part of the condition for project activities to proceed. These IPP activities, selected in consultation with the indigenous peoples/dalit communities in proposed intake areas, address articulated development needs of ii the indigenous peoples/dalit communities that are not covered by the larger, government-funded development program. Development demands of the intake areas are being addressed by government departments by putting them in the priority annual programs/activities of the concerned government line agencies located in Ilam. Different components of the government- funded infrastructure development program (roads, education, health, water and other facilities) for the intake areas are at various stages of planning and implementation. Social Impact Assessment. A sample socioeconomic survey of 15% households was carried out in Maimajhuwa (ward no. 2 of Sandakpur rural municipality), to understand

    Shiba Prasad Rijal... IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON LARGE CARDAMOM-BASED LIVELIHOODS/33 IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON LARGE CARDAMOM-BASED LIVELIHOODS IN PANCHTHAR DISTRICT, NEPAL Shiba Prasad Rijal, PhD Reader, Department of Geography Education T.U., Nepal [email protected] Abstract The paper aims at analyzing the impact of climate change on large cardamom-based livelihoods in Panchthar district by reviewing literature and compiling perceptions of local people. Large cardamom, a newly introduced high-value cash crop grown in 36 hill and mountain districts in Nepal, is cultivated in all 41 Village Development Committees of Panchthar district concentrating largely in its northern and eastern parts at the elevations of roughly between 500 to 2000 meters above sea level. Though area coverage and production of large cardamom is limited compared to other crops, its contribution on people’s livelihood is signifi cant as it has high market value. Production of large cardamom contributes much on people’s livelihoods as it is the main source of household income and provides seasonal employment to thousands of people from farm to the market. Some local cultural producers have also been using bi-products of large cardamom for production of handicrafts such as baskets, tablemats, bags, and window blinders. Besides, it has numerous indirect implications such as reduction in soil erosion and landslides, and increase in biodiversity and carbon’s tock. In recent years, production of large cardamom has been declining as a result of climate change induced factors. The decline adversely affects people’s livelihoods. Key Words: Adaptation, climate sensitive, coping capacity, large cardamom, climate change, livelihood base.

The results of industry analysis indicate that in general, tea processors have low bargaining power against input suppliers and tea buyers. The processing industry was found to be less attractive for new entrants. The threat of substitutes was found to be low. But there is intense internal competition among processing firms for resources and markets. Limited and inefficient production, low economies of scale, unorganized supply chain system, limited access to global market are the major binding constraints identified by this study. The results of the financial analysis found positive returns of investment and increasing returns to scale. However, the average capacity utilization of the processing firms is found to be 33 percent.
