The program started with a short welcome speech by Mr. Bhojraj Ghimire, LDO, Sankhuwasabha along with the clarification of the objectives of the review program. He enlightened that the program would incorporate the financial and physical progress of maintenance work, and suggestions for future work. Then the program resumed further with introduction session of all the participants.
In context to Annual Review, Mr. Ram Sharan Acharya, DTO chief, Sankhuwasabha gave a short insightful presentation on RAP 3 program modality and working area of the program. The presentation mostly included the introduction to Rural Access Program 3, its objectives and plans for Sankhuwasabha district, ARAMP, monitoring visits done, lesson learnt and challenges for future work.

Furthermore, Mr. Pathak presented the „Annual Support Plan‟ and its expenses on the fiscal year 073/74. The series of presentations ended with the progress on ASP.
After all the presentations, the floor was open for discussions. The suggestions, queries, comments, and feedback of participants are recorded in the table below.
S.N Name Comments/Suggestions/feedback 1 Mr. Bidur Kumar RMG mobilization should be focused only in the rainy Lingthep, season as roads are fine in other months., Cost wastage Chairperson, Madi RMG working modality should be modified to suit the Municipality need of a particular road., Road specific working Financial support to the RMG should be fixed, Source of funding should be clarified Municipal Transport Master Plan (MTMP) drafting should be initiated with TA from DTO or other agencies 2 Mr. Murari Prasad Duplication of roads in DTMP and MTMP should be Khatiwada, avoided.

After the feedback session, Mr. Ram Sharan Acharya, District Engineer, Sankhuwasabha and Mr. Ram Prasad Thapaliya, New Construction Specialist, RAP 3 TMO, cleared the queries. 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. CIM: The second part of the program was CIM (Continual Improvement Matrix) which started at 8:30 AM at DDC hall on 10th September 2017. The program was conducted under the chairmanship of Mr. Bhojraj Ghimire, LDO, Sankhuwasabha. Total participants in the program were 14. In the program, DoLIDAR representative LDO/DDC, Planning Officer, DTO chief, DDC/DTO officials, New Construction Specialist RAP 3 TMO, RAP 3 DTL, and RAP 3 staffs participated in the CIM program. Mr. Aadit Pathak explained the objectives of the program. Finally, the program gained momentum with the presentation on CIM. After that, the discussion was done on each subtitle. 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 increase in the CIM score is credited to the increase of the realization of the need of regular maintenance of the road sector and an increased investment in DRCN. 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 DCCs. This report details out the activities carried out by the team, responsible for Sankhuwasabha DCC. The field itinerary of the team is in Appendix-1.
2. OBJECTIVE OF THE FIELD MISSION

4.1.4. Closing Session In closing session, Mr. Hom Pd Paudel, Executive officer Dharmadevi Municipality gave his remarks on the workshop on behalf of the participants. He was very pleased at the initiative shown by RAP in rural road maintenance and the organizing this participatory workshop.
In addition to Mr. Paudel other participants also gave their closing remarks on the program. Mrs. Sita Dahal, Vice Chairperson of Sabhapokhari Rural Municipality said that RAP 3 had maintained its goodwill in the district and was a transparent organization. She added that the workshop had acted as a platform to share the common issues faced by newly formed local bodies. Mrs. Yedu Kumari Rai, Vice Chair of Chichila Rural Municipality commended on the initiative of RAP 3 to provide a collective platform for problem sharing and communication between local bodies of the district.
Other speakers including the Chairperson of Dharmadevi Municipality, Mr Ramesh Kumar Jimi, and Chairperson of Madi Municipality, Mr Bidur Kumar Lingthep highlighted the problems faced by the newly formed local bodies. They emphasised on the lack of proper resources physical, financial and human in their municipalities. They added that the current trend of burdening all works onto the local bodies without financial clarity has added to the confusion and delay in work execution at the municipal level.
Finally, the workshop chairperson Mr. Suman Shakya, Chairperson of DCC Sankhuwasabha closed the engagement workshop expressing heartfelt thanks to RAP for providing a common platform to all R/Municipalities. He added that the RAP have had a tremendous positive impact in the overall infrastructural development of the district and hoped that the program would still continue in the coming years.
4.1.5. Key Outputs of the Workshop Key outputs of the workshop are:
The workshop participants had a common understanding about the overall objectives and scope of RAP 3. The process of engaging key district stakeholders in different areas was initiated. Major development issues in the areas of district road network, economic infrastructure and economic opportunities were identified. Major areas of focus were identified like human resource and infrastructural pre requisites. A set of recommendations to resolve the major issues/problems obstructing the development were identified. Summary of discussion is presented below. The common issues in all thematic sectors are:
Non - harmonisation in policy; Inconsistency in policy and implementation. The identification and need of policies have not been delegated to the responsible agency. The newly formed R/Municipality are yet to clearly understand their own governing policies. Explanation of the areas of influence of the existing policies are yet to be understood by the R/Municipalities. Municipal jurisdiction is yet to be defined. Haphazard planning process: Political influence in project selection, No sectorial and periodic plans, lack of feasibility study and detail project report of projects selected, Some plans donot contain activities based on the ground realities. Prioritisation of projects: The projects have not been prioritised based on ground reality and the proposal for projects have not been on the need basis of the direct beneficiaries. Improper implementation: Due to low human resource capacity, lack of technology, tools and equipment, delayed authorisation of trimester budgets, political categorisation of areas within the district, implementation and quality management have been a major issue. Inadequate funding; Demands are more and resources are less, R/Municipalities lack internal resources due to limited revenue sources in the district, improper utilisation of available fund, delayed fund transfer from the national government/ministry(ies) and so forth. Weak Organisational Infrastructure: Newly formed R/Municipalities are lacking the basic infrastructural pre requisites like an office building, skilled local level office employees, lack of employees and lack of logistics for regular functioning. Ineffective M & E due to less frequent, weak M & E system, M & E has not been effective. The subject matter experts rarely carry out M & E and feedbacks are not being materialised. Feedbacks are based on popular opinion rather than expert analysis. Monitoring for quality management is less but monitoring for formality purpose is seen at a higher frequency. 4.1.6 Workshop Expenditure The total cost of the EW stands at NPR 180,940 Detail breakdown is presented in Appendix-6.
5. CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
This section deals with challenges and opportunities observed by the EW team during their Sankhuwasabha visit.
5.1 Challenges
Non engineered roads:
In Sankhuwasabha, Majority of the roads are non-engineered. The road geometry of most roads is in a rather poor condition. The curves in most roads have a design radius that is well below the standard. The gradient of most roads exceed the 12% exceptional gradient. These roads have a high maintenance cost and thus transport cost are excessive resulting in increased price in daily consumable goods.
Geography and infrastructure:
The district is situated in the high hills to the south and the Makalu mountain range to the north. The soil classification is basically hard rock, red clayey soil and isolated boulders. In addition to the soil classification the hilly topography of the district makes infrastructure development very difficult. The amount of investment to achieve a significant progress in infrastructure development is very high.
The Newly formed Local bodies
After the local level election, Sankhuwasabha has 5 rural municipalities and 5 municipalities. The elected representatives are still unknown of the budgetary provisions for their respective local body. This will ultimately result in delayed implementation of projects at the local level. Furthermore, these local bodies still lack the basic infrastructure needs like an office building, communication facilities, and proper human resource for daily office works. In addition to these existing problems, the popular understanding is that “All programs will be carried out by the local bodies”. This has added to the chaos, confusing the local bodies about their area of involvement and scope of work.
Climate:
The climate in Sankhuwasabha is Temperate. The district observes heavy pre monsoon rainfall accompanied by lightning strikes. The monsoon period runs upto the month of October. This has heavy impact in the development of infrastructure. The working period for infrastructural development works is rather small. The district thus requires an efficient working modality for timely execution of development works.
5.2 Opportunities
Physical Accessibility:
Sankhuwasabha is easily accessible by air. The headquarter of the district has an all-weather airport and daily flights to Kathmandu. The road access to the district is sound as well. The Koshi highway runs north to south of the district. The road provides access for the district population to nearby markets of Biratnagar and Dharan, which are 6 hours’ drive from the district, headquarter.
Development Opportunities:
Despite above challenges, there exist huge potential for development in Sankhuwasabha. Owing to the recent connection of the district headquarter in all-weather strategic road network; there seem many opportunities for local producers. The district has a high value cash crop, Cardamom and Rudraksh. In addition to these, the northern part of the district is a home to indigenous herbs and potential medicinal plants. The Makalu Barun National park is at the northern border of the district whch has the potential to be a tourist hotspot. The northern dry port of Keemathanka (China-Nepal border) is in Sankhuwasabha and is the end point of the Koshi highway. This port has the potential to be a significant trade route linking the Terai to the Chinese border.
