NAGRC (Khumaltar, Lalitpur; http://narc.gov.np) The National Agriculture Genetic Resources Center (NAGRC) was established in 2010 under NARC for conservation and utilization of all agricultural genetic resources including domesticated, crop wild relatives and wild edible plants. Agricultural plant genetic resources (APGRs) have been managed through ex-situ, on-farm and in-situ conservation, and breeding strategies by establishing seed bank, tissue bank, DNA bank, field genebank and community genebank. Bioversity International (Rome, Italy; https://www.bioversityinternational.org) Bioversity International (BI) is a member of the CGIAR consortium. Its vision is that agricultural biodiversity nourishes people and sustains the planet. Bioversity International produces scientific evidence and develops management practices and policy options to safeguard agricultural and tree biodiversity and attain sustainable global food and nutrition security. Crop Trust (Bonn, Germany; https://www.croptrust.org/) The Crop Trust, formerly known as the Global Crop Diversity Trust, is an international nonprofit organization, established in October 2004 as an independent organization under international law. The mission of the Crop Trust is to ensure the conservation and availability of plant diversity essential for food and agriculture, forever.

Nepal is the 11th most earthquake-prone country in the world. Among the earthquakes that causes great damages and losses of life are 1505 Lo Mustang earthquake, 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake, 1980 Nepal earthquake, 1988 Nepal earthquake, 2011 Nepal earthquake and 2015 Nepal earthquake. 7.6 ML (Ritcher scale) earthquake of April 2015 in Nepal caused 8,790 casualties and 22,300 injuries. The lives of 8 million people, almost one-third of the population of Nepal, have been impacted by these earthquakes. Over half a million houses were destroyed. Among the 75 districts, 14 were declared ‘crisis-hit’ (severely affected) and 17 districts as moderately affected. Disaster effects on agriculture sector were very high causing heavy damages and losses. We express deep condolences

    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Rasuwa OSOCC Assessment Cell 10.05.2015

    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Rasuwa OSOCC Assessment Cell 10.05.2015 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 Rasuwa is one of the worst affected districts by the 25 April earthquake. As of 8 May, 430 people have been reported killed and 753 injured (MoFA 08/05/2015). Most of those that died in the district were killed in an avalanche that buried inhabtants of Langtang village including tourists in the guesthouses. Some remote areas are yet to be reached or accounted for. More than 63% of the district’s territory is at an elevation of more than 3000 meters. Of the remaining territory, most parts are located at an elevation between 1000 – 3000 meters (University of Copenhagen 2005) and parts of Rasuwa were without road access even before the earthquake, further challenging the relief effort. In the first few days after the earthquake very little information was available from Rasuwa. Field reports have gradually come in that help understand thesituation. Initial estimates based on Government data of damaged buildings in the affected districts, suggests that 82% of the population of Rasuwa have been affected by the earthquake. According to Government data, 8,000 buildings were destroyed in the earthquake. This figure is however unconfirmed and represents a preliminary estimate based on the combination of reports from a range of sources providing information on needs at the VDC level1(Please see map below for an illustration of aggregated number of reported people in need).

    Proceedings of International Conference on Climate Change Innovation and Resilience for Sustainable Livelihood 12-14 January 2015 Kathmandu, Nepal Organizers: The Small Earth Nepal (SEN) City University of New York (CUNY), USA Colorado State University (CSU), USA Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM), Government of Nepal Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), Nepal Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU), Nepal Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC), Nepal Editors: Dr. Soni Pradhananga, University of Rhode Island, USA Jeeban Panthi, The Small Earth Nepal, Nepal Dilli Bhattarai, The Small Earth Nepal Executive Summary Climate change is one of the most crucial environmental, social, and economic issues the world is facing today. Some impacts such as increasing heat stress, more intense floods, prolonged droughts, and rising sea levels have now become inevitable. Climatic extremes are becoming more frequent; wet periods are becoming wetter and dry periods are becoming dryer. People are able to describe the impacts faced by climate change but not the meaning of „climate change‟. The impacts are most severe for the poor countries. It is high time to plan and implement adaptive measures to minimize the adverse impacts due to climate change, and it is important to explore innovative ideas and practices in building resilience for sustainable development and livelihood, particularly in rural areas of developing countries which are highly vulnerable to climate change. Climate innovation and technologies involve basic science and engineering as well as information dissemination, capacity building, and community organizing. In this context an International Conference on Climate Change Innovation and resilience for Sustainable Livelihood was held in Kathmandu, Nepal from 12-14 January 2015.

I would like to thank WWF and all consortium partners (CARE, NTNC, and FECOFUN) for submitting the updated M&E Plan. The revised M&E Plan is consistent with the approved Annual Work Plan and the Program Description of the Cooperative Agreement (CA). This updated M&E has added/revised/updated targets to systematically align additional earthquake recovery funding added into the award through 8th modification of Hariyo Ban award to WWF to address very unexpected and burning issues, primarily in four Hariyo Ban program districts (Gorkha, Dhading, Rasuwa and Nuwakot) and partly in other districts, due to recent earthquake and associated climatic/environmental challenges. This updated M&E Plan, including its added/revised/updated indicators and targets, will have very good programmatic meaning for the program’s overall performance monitoring process in the future.
