Annual Progress Report (2009/2010) PAF ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT (2009/2010) Foreword Poverty is still a stark reality of Nepal. A quarter of the Nepalese population live in abject poverty and they are denied the fundamental basic amenities of lives like drinking water, education, electricity and health. As Nepal's political agenda is currently debated, the greatest challenge before Nepal is to keep the social and economic agenda high on government's list of priorities and delivering development to the downtrodden communities even during the transitional period. Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF) Nepal, since its establishment in 2004, has continuously strived in reaching out the unreached. The fund has helped 543,263 poor organized in 14,827 community organizations to realize their dream of securing livelihoods and a dignified life, through the implementation of 13,810 income generation and 2,740 Infrastructure related sub‐projects. These community organizations, spread across 40 regular and other innovative districts, are pursuing income generation, community infrastructure, and capacity development related activities. PAF has underscored the importance of partnership and collaboration with different national and local stakeholders and has stroke a number of agreements and understandings to cater the maximum need of the poor. Agreements with Ministry of Local Development (MoLD), Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industries(FNCCI),United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and AEPC are some of the glaring examples that demonstrate PAF's inner desire to work together to realize the national goals of poverty alleviation. Six years on the ground, PAF has provided livelihood, empoowrement and social capital development opportunities to the poor women, Dalits and janajatis, bringing them to the mainstream of development. It is indeed encouraging to know that 66 per cent of the CO member beneficiaries are hard core poor, who are unable to feed themselves even for 3 months. Also, the 29 per cent of the CO member beneficiaries are Dalits, 27 per cent are Janajatis and 62 per cent are female and similar is the trend in terms of key position holders of the community organizations. Not only in numbers, PAF has brought about qualitative changes in the lives of the poor with marked increase in education, health, women participation and empowerment, collectivism and social relations also. A recently concluded follow up survey(2010) conducted by Centre for Economic Development and Administration (CEDA), has shown that PAF's IG activities have demonstrated signification positive effect on increased consumption and income in PAF programme areas. It is obvious now, that, had the PAF not assisted thousands of poor people in the remotest districts, they would have fallen deep in the poverty trap and the national poverty level would have further risen. Though there are encouraging signs that PAF assistance is delivering results on the ground, there are areas that PAF needs to give extra focus. They include institutional development of COs, coordination and collaboration, focused approach for hard core poor, market linkages, strengthening monitoring, evaluation based feedback and learning, effective communications, advocacy and exit strategy. Also, PAF needs to strengthen action research on poverty and raise funds for the growing requirements in the expanded geographical areas. i I express my sincere thanks to the PAF Board Chairperson, Right Honorable Prime Minister Mr. Madhav Kumar Nepal for his unrelenting support to PAF, which has truly inspired the PAF family‐‐the Secretariat, PAF partners and CO community members at the remote districts as he paid monitoring visits to different districts. Also, I am thankful to the board of governors and all the professional staff for their incessant support to deepen our efforts in reaching out poor, and in fine‐tuning related plan and policies. More importantly, I take this opportunity to thank Ministry of Finance for allocating significant amount of budget for PAF for the fiscal year 2010/11 from the Government's internal resources. My deep felt gratitude goes to the World Bank and IFAD for their continued support to PAF. Finally, I would like to pay tribute to all stakeholders including the members of community organizations and partner organizations, without whose support and active participation, PAF would not have been able to demonstrate results and impacts on the ground.

    Food Security Bulletin - 21 United Nations World Food Programme FS Bulletin, November 2008 Food Security Monitoring and Analysis System Issue 21 Highlights Over the period July to September 2008, the number of people highly and severely food insecure increased by about 50% compared to the previous quarter due to severe flooding in the East and Western Terai districts, roads obstruction because of incessant rainfall and landslides, rise in food prices and decreased production of maize and other local crops. The food security situation in the flood affected districts of Eastern and Western Terai remains precarious, requiring close monitoring, while in the majority of other districts the food security situation is likely to improve in November-December due to harvesting of the paddy crop. Decreased maize and paddy production in some districts may indicate a deteriorating food insecurity situation from January onwards. this period. However, there is an could be achieved through the provision Overview expectation of deteriorating food security of return packages consisting of food Mid and Far-Western Nepal from January onwards as in most of the and other essentials as well as A considerable improvement in food Hill and Mountain districts excessive agriculture support to restore people’s security was observed in some Hill rainfall, floods, landslides, strong wind, livelihoods. districts such as Jajarkot, Bajura, and pest diseases have badly affected In the Western Terai, a recent rapid Dailekh, Rukum, Baitadi, and Darchula. maize production and consequently assessment conducted by WFP in These districts were severely or highly reduced food stocks much below what is November, revealed that the food food insecure during April - July 2008 normally expected during this time of the security situation is still critical in because of heavy loss in winter crops, year.

  • Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF) Program Implementation Status (As of 15 November 2009)
    Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF) Program Implementation Status (as of 15 November 2009) Poverty Alleciation Fund (PAF) is implementing targeted demand-driven community based program. It directly supported third pillar of Tenth Plan/ Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper-PRSP of the Government of Nepal (GoN) and supporting the social inclusion/ targeted program of the Three Year Interim Plan (Annex-I: PAF program at a glance). It aims to improve access to income-generation and infrastructures for groups that had tended to be excluded by reasons of gender, ethnicity and caste, as well as for the poorest groups in communities. Presently PAF is implementing its program in 59 districts. Initially it selected six districts viz. Darchula, Mugu, Pyuthan, Kapilbastu, Ramechhap and Siraha for programme implementation. From the FY 2062/63 (2005/06 AD), 19 additional districts are selected (Achham, Baitadi, Bajhang, Bajura, Dadeldhura, Dailekh, Dolpa, Doti, Humla, Jajarkot, Jumla, Kalikot, Mahottari, Rasuwa, Rautahat, Rolpa, Rukum, Sarlahi and Sindhuli). Further, PAF initiated its program in additional 15 districts from FY 2065/066 (Okhaldhunga, Bara, Khotang, Salyan, Saptari, Udaypur, Solukhumbu, Sindhupalchowk, Panchthar, Dhanding, Taplejung, Parsa, Bardiya, Dhanusha and Terhathum). With this, PAF now covers, as PAF regular program districts, all the 25 districts from Group–C and 15 districts from Group-B categorized as most deprived districts by CBS/NPC (Central Bureau of Statistics – National Planning Commission) based on 28 poverty related social-economic indicators (Annex-XVI). Besides working in these regular program districts, PAF is implementing innovative pocket programme in other 19 districts as well under the special innovative window programme to capture replicable innovative initiatives to reach to the poor.

  • The Current Food Security Qtr
    Nepal Food Security Bulletin Issue 25, July - October 2009 Situation Summary • The total number of food insecure people across Nepal is Figure 1. Percentage of population food insecure estimated to be 3.7 million, this represents approximately 16.4% of the rural population. WFP Nepal is feeding 1.6 17.0% million people which has had a significant impact on reducing 2009 winter drought this figure. 16.5% • July—August is typically a period of heightened food insecurity across Nepal. This year’s lean period was particularly severe in several areas of the country due to the 2008/09 winter 16.0% drought which led to reduced household food stocks and in the worst affected areas household food shortages. 15.5% • During the coming months, short term food security should continue to improve across most of Nepal as the current 15.0% harvest of summer crops (paddy, millet and maize) will be completed. However, the longer term outlook is that food security will decline within the next 6 months as summer crop 14.5% production at a national level is expected to be generally weak. Oct-Dec 09 Jan-Mar 09 Apr-Jun 09 Jul-Sep 09 Poor summer crop production is the result of late plantation (caused by late monsoon rains) combined with erratic and generally low rainfall during the monsoon. • Of the 476 households surveyed by WFP between July and September, summer crop losses of more than 30% have been experienced or are expected by more than 40% of households.
