Food Security and Resilient Livelihoods with Focus on Earthquake Affected Families through Civil Society Strengthening (SUSTAIN)
The project aims to support 2,500 smallholder households in the districts of Jajarkot and Rukum West in western Nepal to sustainably secure their livelihoods and improve their nutrition and income situation by strengthening civil society structures (self-help groups, CBOs) and local administrative and government capacities. The target group includes earthquake-affected households and marginalised groups (women, youth, Dalits, Janajatis, people with disabilities). The project promotes climate-smart agricultural practices and access to quality inputs. By supporting sustainable entrepreneurial activities (green enterprises), the project creates new income opportunities for marginalised groups (women, youth) through local value creation. To consolidate these efforts, the project is working with civil society organisations to prioritise climate-resilient agricultural and economic development in local development plans and policy strategies, and to build relevant administrative and institutional capacity. The project follows a multi-stakeholder approach, collaborating with long-standing (RRN) and new (MIC, FTG) national partner organisations, CBOs, local governments and other civil society actors.

Strengthening Urban Preparedness and Earthquake Response in Western region of Nepal (SUPER-II)
Building on past urban preparedness and drawing learnings from recent disasters, the action aims to institutionalize operational urban and earthquake preparedness and response in targeted provinces and municipalities and link it with federal mechanism. With inclusion at the heart of the action, addressing specific needs of vulnerable groups especially women, children and persons with disabilities, it also intends to upscale interventions in project area and beyond. The key result areas: i)Government-led operational system for urban and earthquake preparedness institutionalized at provincial and local level for effective response ii) Coordination and information management strengthened at provincial and municipal levels, aligned with national framework, for disaster risk governance; iii) Enhanced policy engagement for scalability of disaster preparedness and response mechanism at federal, provincial, and local levels.It has been identified based on deeper risk analysis, consultation with federal, provincial, and municipal governments and development partners engaged in similar interventions, lessons learned from the recent earthquakes including Jajarkot earthquake & learnings from SUPER. Under the leadership of the NDRRMA, provincial government and municipalities, the project will be implemented by a UNDP led consortium with UNICEF and UN WOMEN and HI, and in close coordination with RCO, WHO, PIN, NRCS, CSOs and other development partners and will engage parliamentarians, various association of municipalities, government training institutions, media and private sector. In the ongoing federalization context, the Action aims to institutionalize urban preparedness including continuity of essential services such as ambulance, fire service, water supply, electricity, access for relief etc. through policy and procedures, knowledge transfer and capacity development, financing arrangement and partnership and will contribute to create environment for upscaling.

ROAP/NEP06 S1-856 Rebuilding Livelihoods and Enhancing Governance for Recovery and Resilience in earthquake affected areas of Jajarkot
On 03 November 2023, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Karnali Province, with the epicenter identified near Ramindanda of Jajarkot district. The initial earthquake, followed by at least 466 aftershocks, caused catastrophic damage resulting in a total of 154 deaths (70 males and 84 females) and 366 injuries, and at least 250,000 people directly affected. Out of 18 districts impacted by the earthquake, Jajarkot and West Rukum were most heavily impacted. The Provincial Emergency Operation Center of Karnali Province reported that 171 drinking water schemes, 17 irrigation schemes, 355 schools, 54 police stations, 42 public buildings, and five micro hydro schemes were fully or partially damaged. The earthquake impacted more than 62,000 private houses with significant damages to livelihoods, affecting cattle farming and beekeeping, and impacting agriculture production/storage and related infrastructure. The proposed intervention builds on UNDP’s engagement after Jajarkot earthquake. The proposed project “Rebuilding Livelihoods and Enhancing Governance for Recovery and Resilience in earthquake affected areas of Jajarkot (RLEGRR)” will not only support the communities to recover from the earthquake but also build capacities of the local governments to restore disrupted public services, enhance disaster preparedness and start long-term recovery and reconstruction. In close collaboration with the local governments and other ongoing initiatives in the area, the Project will contribute to: 1) strengthen governance capacity for delivery of basic services and enabling environment for long-term reconstruction and resilience; 2) promote community-led reconstruction of damaged small infrastructures for livelihoods opportunities, coupled with psychosocial support; and 3) strengthen capacities and mechanisms for emergency preparedness and response to enhance resilience against future disasters. The project will be implemented for 12 months in 2 districts, namely Jajarkot and Rukum West and 5 local governments namely, Bheri, Nalgadh, Sanibheri, Athbiskot and Barekot of Karnali Province under the Direct Implementation Modality (DIM) in partnership with UN Habitat recognized as Responsible Party for the project. UNDP has sought UN-Habitat Nepal to provide technical assistance to implement and deliver two key activities under Outcome 1/Output 1.1 and Outcome 2/Output 2.1 of the project: • Activity 1.1.1: Prefab structures for earthquake-affected local governments /districts constructed to deliver basic services: For basic service continuity through construction of 10 prefabricated transitional buildings. • Activity 2.1.1 Provision of livelihoods support and community infrastructure: Support in livelihood recovery through skill-based training and market linkages, further supported by restoration of 35 damaged community infrastructure and establishment of 10 community facility centers.

Nepal Karnali Earthquake November 2023
On 3 November 2023 in the late evening, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck the Jajarkot district resulting in large scale destruction of physical properties with 157 people reported dead and hundreds remaining injured in 11 districts, of which Jajarkot and Rukum West were the worst affected. The epicentre was identified as Ramidanda of Jajarkot districts. According to the National Emergency Operation Centre (NEOC), approximately 35,321 households (176,605 people) were affected by the earthquake in the 11 districts. This number is increasing as assessments are ongoing. An estimated 250,000 people have been exposed to hazards and are at risk. This is a largest earthquake to impact Nepal since the 7.3 magnitude earthquake in 2015 and the latest one to hit western Nepal in the past year since November 2022. The impact of the earthquake is expected to be hugely challenging for the most vulnerable in the area, which is already coping with low socio-economic indicators. No cost extension of 3 months (Jan 2025 to March 2025) is requested from NRCS to complete the ongoing recovery constructions of WASH and HP facilities including few associated software activities and final reporting. An additional extension is given to NRCS based on the extension of one of the birthing centre construction timelines, which was beyond the control of the project given the extreme climatic conditions at the field. NRSC has requested to complete the construction by end of June 2025, without additional resources. Once completed, NRCS will provide the reports to be verified by BRC Country Office and initiate the closure of project, accounts.
