    Terms of References for Preparation of the Detailed Project Proposal for the implementation of intensive value chain development program of vegetable and fruits in the 13 selected North-South road corridor of Nepal 1. Background Agriculture is the major contributing sector in national economy and this is possible by increasing production and productivity of crops, vegetables and fruits. Increasing agriculture productivity is also necessary for enhancing food security and is possible only when we can develop the value chain of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, it is utmost necessary to develop value chain of fruits and vegetables to increase market potentiality and comparative advantage. Government of Nepal has given priority for the value chain development in agriculture through the budget speech and it was clearly mentioned in the agriculture sector transformation guideline 2075 implementation action plan issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock development. With the increasing commercialization of agricultural, especially fruits and vegetables has been given high priority by many development agencies including government, non-government, private and donor agencies. Various agencies are promoting fruits and vegetable value chain in the various road corridor of the Nepal. But a consolidated and comprehensive project proposal has not been prepared so far for the implementation of intensive value chain development program of fruits and vegetables in the potential north-south road corridor in Nepal. Keeping in this in view and according to the approved annual program of Center for Agricultural Infrastructure Development and Mechanization Promotion (CAIDMP) for the fiscal year 2075/76, it is targeted to prepare Detailed Project Proposal for the implementation of intensive value chain development program of vegetable and fruits in the 13 selected North-South road corridor of Nepal Accordingly, it is also planned to prepare detail project proposal through consultancy service according to the related acts and rules of Nepal.

TA 7182-NEP PREPARING THE SECONDARY TOWNS INTEGRATED URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Volume 1: MAIN REPORT in association with KNOWLEDGE SUMMARY 1 The Government and the Asian Development Bank agreed to prepare the Secondary Towns Integrated Urban Environmental Improvement Project (STIUEIP). They agreed that STIUEIP should support the goal of improved quality of life and higher economic growth in secondary towns of Nepal. The outcome of the project preparation work is a report in 19 volumes. 2 This first volume explains the rationale for the project and the selection of three towns for the project. The rationale for STIUEIP is the rapid growth of towns outside the Kathmandu valley, the service deficiencies in these towns, the deteriorating environment in them, especially the larger urban ones, the importance of urban centers to promote development in the regions of Nepal, and the Government’s commitments to devolution and inclusive development. 3 STIUEIP will support the objectives of the National Urban Policy: to develop regional economic centres, to create clean, safe and developed urban environments, and to improve urban management capacity.

  • 2.3 Nepal Road Network
    2.3 Nepal Road Network Overview Primary Roads in Nepal Major Road Construction Projects Distance Matrix Road Security Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits Road Class and Surface Conditions Province 1 Province 2 Bagmati Province Gandaki Province Province 5 Karnali Province Sudurpashchim Province Overview Roads are the predominant mode of transport in Nepal. Road network of Nepal is categorized into the strategic road network (SRN), which comprises of highways and feeder roads, and the local road network (LRN), comprising of district roads and Urban roads. Nepal’s road network consists of about 64,500 km of roads. Of these, about 13,500 km belong to the SRN, the core network of national highways and feeder roads connecting district headquarters. (Picture : Nepal Road Standard 2070) The network density is low, at 14 kms per 100 km2 and 0.9 km per 1,000 people. 60% of the road network is concentrated in the lowland (Terai) areas. A Department of Roads (DoR’s) survey shows that 50% of the population of the hill areas still must walk two hours to reach an SRN road. Two of the 77 district headquarters, namely Humla, and Dolpa are yet to be connected to the SRN. Page 1 (Source: Sector Assessment [Summary]: Road Transport) Primary Roads in Nepal S. Rd.
