All the advices and suggestions of the program were positively acknowledged by RAP 3. He clarified about the RMG work and working procedure. Then, Mr. Aadit Pathak highlighted the future involvement of RAP 3 in Sankhuwasabha district and highlighted about the strengthening of RMG. Mr. Ram Sharan Acharya, DE clarified the technical queries of the participants. He added that the involvement of R/Municipalities in RMG work monitoring would improve the effectiveness of the routine and recurrent maintenance in the district. The major topic of discussion in the review was the planning process and the DTMP update. The representatives asked the DE for TA in drafting local level five year master plans and avoid duplication of roads in multiple planning documents. The R/Municipality representatives were confused about their authority. The belief that all programs are to be delegated to the local level triggered multiple arguments. The handover of RMG to the local bodies without any budgetary provisions and minimal technical work force also came into discussion during the review. All participants were enlightened with the need for maintenance in the road sector. The budget and finances of the RAP3 maintenance work for fiscal year 073/74 were also made transparent to the participants. We got valuable feedbacks, suggestions and comments from the participants, which will be very helpful in project implementation in coming days. RAP3 staffs contemplated the issues, challenges & lesson learnt and the whole team was determined to avoid the mistakes in future. B.

Average scores were discussed amongst the participants and upon agreement of all it was used as the official score. The program had a lot of interesting insights and healthy discussions. The program ended with the announcement of overall average score of 7.32.

The details of CIM matrix is attached in next page. Part II: Engagement Workshop 1. BACKGROUND & CONTEXT Following the signing of Bi-lateral agreement between the Government of Nepal (GoN) and the Department for International Development (DFID) in 2015, the Rural Access Programme Phase 3 (RAP 3) extension is being implemented in 14 districts1 of Nepal. Following the introduction of a federal government set up and local elections in 2017, one of the important start-up activities of RAP 3 extension was to introduce itself among its municipal stakeholders in project DCCs. This was carried out through Engagement Workshops (EW) in all RAP 3 DCCs. The purpose of this event, besides introducing RAP 3 to municipal stakeholders, was to get important information and feedback from the municipal stakeholders on the key issues/problems that may be hindering the project implementation process, specifically related to Local Road Networks (LRN), which is one of the major thematic components of RAP 3. To carry out engagement workshops, 12 teams were deployed in 14 DCCs: one team for each maintenance DCC and two teams for the four new construction

  • Agricultural Transformation Around Koshi Hill Region: a Rural Development Perspective
    95 NJ: NUTA Agricultural Transformation around Koshi Hill Region: A Rural Development Perspective Tirtha Raj Timalsina Lecturer, Dhankuta Multiple Campus, Dhankuta Eastern Nepal Email for correspondence:[email protected] Abstract Agriculture is considered to be the basic segment and the backbone of developing economy. In the same way it is a prime and domonent sector of Nepalese rural livelihood. By considering this fact, the true value of rural development lies on the rapid transformation of existing agricultural sector. The aim of this study is to analyze the role of agricultural transformation for rural development of Koshi Hill Region (KHR) of eastern Nepal. Both the primary as well as secondary data and information have been used to obtain the required findings. The study reveals the fact that agriculture is inevitable for rural people and its transformation is essential for the development of rural areas and the nation as a whole. Including primarily to the road network, the development of infrastructure can play the detrimental role to change the backward and rural scenario of this country. Key words: Agricultural transformation, rural development, Koshi-Hill, essential, backbone, access. Conceptualization Agriculture is an important segment of traditional (feudal) economy, the transformation from feudalism to capitalism necessarily implies a transformation of agriculture (Lekhi, 2005). Thereby, agriculture is the prime occupation and also the backbone of most of the developing economies. The countries that are in the low profile of international comparision, no doubt they are moving on stagnat and backward agriculture with under or misutilized physical as well as human resources. The country which are backward and underdeveloped are not always facing the scarcity of resources but the techniques or to know how to manage the scarcely available means and reslurces is accepted as the principal understanding of development science.

  • District Transport Master Plan (DTMP)
    Government of Nepal District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads (DOLIDAR) District Development Committee, Morang February 2013 Prepared by the District Technical Office (DTO) for Morang with Technical Assistance from the Department of Local Infrastructure and Agricultural Roads (DOLIDAR), Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development and grant supported by DFID i FOREWORD It is my great pleasure to introduce this District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) of Morang district especially for district road core network (DRCN). I believe that this document will be helpful in backstopping to Rural Transport Infrastructure Sector Wide Approach (RTI SWAp) through sustainable planning, resources mobilization, implementation and monitoring of the rural road sub-sector development. The document is anticipated to generate substantial employment opportunities for rural people through increased and reliable accessibility in on- farm and off-farm livelihood diversification, commercialization and industrialization of agriculture sector. In this context, rural road sector will play a fundamental role to strengthen and promote overall economic growth of this district through established and improved year round transport services reinforcing intra and inter-district linkages . Therefore, it is most crucial in executing rural road networks in a planned way as per the District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) by considering the framework of available resources in DDC comprising both internal and external sources. Viewing these aspects, DDC Morang has prepared the DTMP by focusing most of the available resources into upgrading and maintenance of the existing road networks. This document is also been assumed to be helpful to show the district road situations to the donor agencies through central government towards generating needy resources through basket fund approach.
