The project consists of the following four major components; namely; Infrastructure Development, Social and Environment Support, Institutional Reforms and Implementation. These major components are supplemented by management, social institutional activities including the Social Uplift Program (SUP) for the MDS works, Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), Environmental Management and Monitoring for all the components, and related support activities. The current activity of the Project are mainly concentrated on construction of the access roads, main access road in the Melamchi Valley, and the preparations for the procurement of the Management contractor (MC), in place of the previ- ously proposed Private Operator of the distribution system.
