I would like to thank WWF and all consortium partners (CARE, NTNC, and FECOFUN) for submitting the updated M&E Plan. The revised M&E Plan is consistent with the approved Annual Work Plan and the Program Description of the Cooperative Agreement (CA). This updated M&E has added/revised/updated targets to systematically align additional earthquake recovery funding added into the award through 8th modification of Hariyo Ban award to WWF to address very unexpected and burning issues, primarily in four Hariyo Ban program districts (Gorkha, Dhading, Rasuwa and Nuwakot) and partly in other districts, due to recent earthquake and associated climatic/environmental challenges. This updated M&E Plan, including its added/revised/updated indicators and targets, will have very good programmatic meaning for the program’s overall performance monitoring process in the future. -

Assessment of Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trafficking in Banke- Kamdi Complex
Assessment of Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trafficking in Banke- Kamdi Complex Submitted to: Hariyo Ban Program Baluwatar, Kathmandu, Nepal Submitted by: People’s Help Group (PHG) Kathmandu, Nepal July, 2017 © WWF Nepal 2017 All rights reserved Disclaimer: This report is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The contents of this report are the responsibility of People’s Help Group (PHG) and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. Executive Summary Wildlife crime is a serious issue in conservation particularly of the threatened species of wild flora and fauna globally. Several endangered species such as Asian big cats, elephants and rhinoceros are at the verge of extinction if the current trend of wildlife crime is not retarded. The illegal wildlife trade is among the leading causes for rapid wildlife species decline worldwide (McMurray, 2008). Similarly, Nepal cannot be exception to this situation; the country has been known as transit for illegal wildlife trade and a source for some of the illegally traded species such as rhino horns, tiger and leopard pelts and pangolin scales. Despite various efforts to control wildlife crime, such crime still exists sporadically and in low volume in the country. The Banke-Kamdi complex is located in the (Mid-western region, State No.6) and covers part of Banke, Dang and Salyan districts. This Complex comprises of Banke National Park (BaNP), its Buffer Zone and Kamdi forest corridor. At present, Kamdi Corridor is under the Banke District Forest and is one of the most important biological corridors of Tarai Arc Landscape. -

ALL CHILDREN IN SCHOOL Global Initiative on Out-of-School Children © UNICEF Nepal/2016/NShrestha NEPAL COUNTRY STUDY JULY 2016 Tel.: Government of Nepal MINISTRY OF EDUCATION Singha Durbar Ref. No.: Kathmandu, Nepal Foreword Nepal has made significant progress in achieving good results in school enrolment by having more children in school over the past decade, in spite of the unstable situation in the country. However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education. -
