Building Climate Resilience of Watersheds in Mountain Eco-Regions
The Project will support the implementation of the Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) which has recently been developed by the Government of Nepal in partnership with Asian Development Bank (ADB), International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the World Bank and was endorsed by the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience sub-committee of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) on 28 June 2011. Within the overall framework of the SPCR, the Project will enable communities in mountainous ecosystems that are significantly vulnerable to climate change impacts to have improved access to and reliability of watershed and water resources. The Project aims to provide access to more reliable water resources for domestic purposes and irrigation for communities living in the watersheds of Nepal's river systems, which are significantly vulnerable to climate change. The watersheds selected lie in six districts in the Far-Western Development Region: Achham, Baitadi, Bajhang, Bajura, Dadeldhura, and Doti. Access to and reliability of water resources will be improved through a participatory program of integrated watershed management with interventions in upland areas to increase surface water storage and groundwater recharge.
