The Mid-Term Evaluation (MTE) of the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project in Western Nepal, Phase II (RWSSP-WN II) was conducted during January – April 2016. The purpose of the Mid-Term Evaluation was to provide the Governments of Finland and Nepal as well as the project implementer an external, independent and objective analysis and assessment of the value, worth and merit of the project achievements (intended and unintended) based on the OECD/DAC evaluation criteria (relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and impact). As ap- propriate, the three EU criteria of cooperation, complementarity and coherence were also to be con- sidered. MTE was expected to provide recommendations on ways to improve the performance of the project in the remaining years. MTE was also expected to give recommendations on continuation of the Finnish support in the water sector beyond RWSSP-WN II in terms of the possible modality, scope and size. The Terms of Reference (TOR) of MTE is attached as Annex 1. The Consultant’s team initially comprised Ms Kristiina Mikkola, International Team Leader, Mr Hannu Vikman, International Water Supply and Sanitation Expert, Dr Dhruba Raj Gautam, National Social Inclusion Expert, Mr Ram Chandra Shrestha, National WASH Expert, and Ms Jyoti Tiwari, Junior Ex- pert on Climate Sustainability and Disaster Risk Reduction. Due to health reasons, Ms Mikkola was forced to cancel her participation in the field mission on a last minute. The field mission was thus led by Mr Vikman. Subsequently, also one Nepalese expert, Ms Homa Thakali was introduced to the team as the additional National Social Inclusion Expert. After the mission all six team members have contributed to the data analysis and writing of the MTE report. Quality assurance inputs have been provided by Mr Tashi Tenzing, Quality Assurance Expert. The mission in Nepal was carried out between the 21st of February and 11th of March, 2016. The Team reviewed

  • A Case of Gaindakot As Fringe of Bharatpur Metropolitan City)
    Proceedings of 8th IOE Graduate Conference Peer Reviewed ISSN: 2350-8914 (Online), 2350-8906 (Print) Year: 2020 Month: June Volume: 8 Impacts of Urbanization on Land Use in Urban Fringe (A case of Gaindakot as fringe of Bharatpur Metropolitan City) Seema Pandey a, Ajay Chandra Lal b a, b Department of Architecture, Pulchowk Campus, IOE, TU, Nepal Corresponding Email: a [email protected], b [email protected] Abstract The urban fringe areas go through lots of transformations due to urbanisation but lack of proper planning and policies in such fringe areas leads to haphazard and unplanned growth, placing enormous pressures on natural resources, existing services and infrastructures. Bharatpur Metropolitan City is one of the fastest growing cities in Nepal which serves as commercial centre of Chitwan district. The city has been growing bigger and it will have its impacts on its fringe areas. Since migration rate is increasing in Bharatpur, this is likely to spread urban sprawl in adjoining areas, Gaindakot municipality being one of them.This paper uses multiple theoretical framework and qualitative research approach to find out the effects of urbanization on various aspects and the patterns of land use changes in Gaindakot with the increasing urbanisation over the years. Managing rapid urbanization poses challenges that require urgent policy attention. Otherwise, this may lead to rapid and uncontrolled sprawl; irregular, substandard, and inaccessible housing development; loss of open space, and decreased livability as in Kathmandu valley due to unplanned urban development. Keywords Urbanization, Urban fringe, Urban sprawl, Land use, Gaindakot (Nepal) 1. Background [5,6]. Nepalese cities have been urbanizing haphazardly.
