This is a combined Resettlement and Indigenous Peoples Plan (RIPP) prepared for the transmission components for the proposed Project, “South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Power System Expansion Project (SPEP)”.. The RIPP is in draft form because some of project components such as grid substations, location for tower footing etc are not yet finalized. The route survey is also preliminary at the moment. Therefore, RIPP is based on feasibility assessment and preliminary engineering design which will be updated and finalized during the detailed design and final check survey prior to construction activities. Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) will be the executing and implementing agency for the transmission components and will be responsible for updating, finalizing and implementing the RIPP. This is prepared in accordance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 (SPS, 2009) and Government Nepal’s laws and regulations related to land acquisition. Based on ADB’s SPS 2009, the Project is categorized as “A” for involuntary resettlement and “B” for indigenous peoples. ii. As far as safeguard requirement-3 (SR-3) of ADB’s SPS-2009 is concerned, it is observed that the project will not trigger safeguard requirement-3 (SR- 3). However, the impacts on indigenous peoples are limited as some scheduled IPs under Nepali law, will suffer IR impacts, and these are documented as part of the RIPP. The impacts on indigenous peoples (Jan Jatis) are limited to IR related and does not threat to their existing socio-cultural set-up; therefore, separate Indigenous Peoples Plan (IPP) is not required. However, to address the IP impacts, a combined Resettlement and Indigenous Peoples Plan (RIPP) has been prepared with additional socio-economic analysis on IPs in the RIPP. iii. The Project outputs are: (i) Power transmission capacity from Kali Gandaki basin, Marsyangdi basin, Marsyangdi to Kathmandu basin and the Samundratar-Trishuli 3B hub corridor; (ii) Power distribution network in selected rural areas in East, Central and West regions; (iii) Mini-grid based renewable energy systems in off-grid areas for Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) which includes installation of up to 4.3 MW of aggregated mini hydro-electric power plants and up to 0.5

    Chapter 3 Project Evaluation and Recommendations 3-1 Project Effect It is appropriate to implement the Project under Japan's Grant Aid Assistance, because the Project will have the following effects: (1) Direct Effects 1) Improvement of Educational Environment By replacing deteriorated classrooms, which are danger in structure, with rainwater leakage, and/or insufficient natural lighting and ventilation, with new ones of better quality, the Project will contribute to improving the education environment, which will be effective for improving internal efficiency. Furthermore, provision of toilets and water-supply facilities will greatly encourage the attendance of female teachers and students. Present(※) After Project Completion Usable classrooms in Target Districts 19,177 classrooms 21,707 classrooms Number of Students accommodated in the 709,410 students 835,820 students usable classrooms ※ Including the classrooms to be constructed under BPEP-II by July 2004 2) Improvement of Teacher Training Environment By constructing exclusive facilities for Resource Centres, the Project will contribute to activating teacher training and information-sharing, which will lead to improved quality of education. (2) Indirect Effects 1) Enhancement of Community Participation to Education Community participation in overall primary school management activities will be enhanced through participation in this construction project and by receiving guidance on various educational matters from the government. 91 3-2 Recommendations For the effective implementation of the project, it is recommended that HMG of Nepal take the following actions: 1) Coordination with other donors As and when necessary for the effective implementation of the Project, the DOE should ensure effective coordination with the CIP donors in terms of the CIP components including the allocation of target districts.

It is also common wide-spread phenomena and emerging issue not only in urban areas but also in rural setting in Nepal. Domestic child workers are not only the problem of an individual or a family but also the common problem of the society. In this context, the main objective of this paper is to examine the major problems, health situation, and assess the working conditions of domestic child workers aftermathof April 25th, 2015 earthquake disaster in Besisahar Municipality, Lamjung, Nepal. The data and information needed for this study were obtained through the mix method with primary and secondary sources. Study finds that the education level of child domestic workers is very poor.poverty is one of the major causes for children being engaged in domestic child worker. Based on findings the overall condition for the domestic child workers in terms of basic needs like food, shelter, clothes and health was found critical. Keywords: domestic child workers, problems, health, future aspiration 1. Background In this modern age, every person should realize that children are an integral part of an every society.

  • Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The phenomenon of climate change is generally understood as a long term significant change in the average weather patterns of the region or the earth as a whole. It mainly involves changes in the variability or average state of the temperature, precipitation and wind patterns over durations ranging from decades to millions of years. UNFCCC defines it as 'a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere'. Today the world is experiencing climate change and there is the scientific consensus that the increase in the Green House Gas concentrations in the atmosphere has caused to global climate change. Nepal's average temperature is rising at the - C per annum between 1977 and 1994 with a higher rate in mountain century. In addition to increase in extreme temperature, weather has been observed changing in recent years. Because of the extreme temperature, there has been change in weather conditions. Number of monsoon days has been shortening, with early onset and late withdrawal, and the intensity of monsoon rain has shown increasing trend (Gurung and Bhandari 2009). Livelihood of third world's people has been changing and threatening from climate change. The term climate change is often used interchangeably with the term global warming but according to the National Academy of Sciences the phrase 'climate change' is growing in preferred use to 'global warming' because it helps to convey meaning of other terms related to climate change in addition to rising temperatures. Climate change refers to any significant change in measures of climate (such as temperature, precipitation or wind) lasting for an extended period, decade or longer.
