Smart buildings and green infrastructure for improved human security and sustainable development in Nepal
Nepal is warming at nearly twice the global average, with urban areas facing severe heat stress. In the southern Terai, extreme heat and humidity are driving rapid growth in energy demand for cooling, increasing emissions and placing significant stress on energy infrastructure. Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City (DSMC) in Sudurpaschim Province experiences recurrent heatwaves during May–August, with temperatures frequently exceeding 40°C. Climate variability, rapid and unplanned urbanization, loss of green spaces, and limited energy-efficient infrastructure exacerbate risks to public health, livelihoods, and essential services, disproportionately affecting low-income households, outdoor workers, and residents of poorly insulated housing. Impacts include heat-related illness and mortality, school disruptions, and reduced functionality of public facilities.

Nepal SURE programme
The Strengthening Urban Resilience and Engagement ( SURE ) programme is a five-year DFID-funded multi-hazard urban risk reduction programme running from September 2016 until August 2021. Given emerging risks and hazard trends the programme continues engagement in the three districts of the Kathmandu valley and expanding further west into two additional districts. The programme aims to see increased action in target municipalities by citizens government and the Nepal Red Cross Society to reduce and respond to multi hazard risks increasing overall disaster resilience and enabling timely and effective response by the Nepal Red Cross Society. The targeted municipalities include six within the previously-engaged districts of the Kathmandu valley namely: Kathmandu sub-metropolitan city and Budhanilkantha municipality in Kathmandu district Bajrabarahi and Karyabinayak municipalities in Lalitpur district and Bhaktapur and Madhyapur Thimi municipalities in Bhaktapur district and two additional municipalities in the West and Far-West specifically Pokhara sub-metropolitan city and Dhangadhi sub-metropolitan city. Impact: Target municipalities have increased their disaster resilience and are supported by the Nepal Red Cross Society with timely and effective disaster response. Outcome: Targeted municipalities are increasingly taking action to reduce and respond to multi hazard risks through citizens government and the Nepal Red Cross Society. Output 1: Awareness and action in urban DRR for informed citizen voice and greater social accountability is increased enhancing DRR capacity in targeted municipalities. Output 2: DRR advocacy and support and strengthening of preparedness for response enhances the capacity of municipalities and is aligned to existing policies and structures. Output 3: NRCS is stronger and well organised in order to better respond to vulnerable communities and individuals. Output 4: NRCS and BRC actively learn with urban partners and external institutions to contribute to improved thematic and institutional knowledge and practice enabling efficient and effective programming with partners.

F.a: Partnering for promoting social and economic rights of ex bonded laborer
1. Project: 12262 Partnering for promoting social and economic rights of ex bonded laborer 2. Project area and Country: Kailali and Kanchanpur Districts, Sudurpaschim Province, Nepal 3. Project justification: Sudurpaschim province is hot spots of modern bonded labourers under the so-called Haliya, Kamaiya and Kamlari systems. The system promotes extreme gender-based violence consisting of several social taboos and other harmful practices. Kamaiyas and Kamlaris are two major groups of ex-bonded labourers living in Kailali and Kanchanpur districts. They were enslaved within a system of bonded labour and were forced by landlords to execute various hard labour in agriculture with a nominal amount. Exorbitant debts were charged, and whole families were forced to be slave. After several hard struggles and advocacy efforts by civil society and human rights activists, the Government of Nepal abolished the system on July 17, 2000, for Kamaiya and 2013 for Kamlari. Although most Kamaiya families were freed, the system has persisted. But a decade after being liberated, the freed Kamaiyas are forced to live a very difficult life due to lack of its effective implementation of proper rehabilitation and relief package. The project is primarily designed to promote economic and social empowerment of ex-bonded labourers. 4. The main objective and the expected results: The main objective is to contribute to poverty reduction and equity in Sudurpaschim province through socio-economic empowerment of ex-bonded labourers. Socio-economic condition of the ex-bonded labourers is improved through income diversification, education and advocacy. As a result, vulnerable households are engaged in income generating activities and have access to the market, cooperatives are strengthened and are able to advocate for social transformation, children of ex-bonded labourer attain quality education and vulnerable groups are more resilient and are able to advocate for their rights and access to services. 5. Right-holders/beneficiaries: 3,230 individuals ( 2735 are ex-bonded labours, 24 PWD, 301 Dalit, 170 others) Duty bearers: Municipalities and Rural Municipalities, Agriculture Knowledge Centre and Veterinary Hospital. 6. Implementing partner: Freed Kamaiya Women Development Forum (FKWDF) 7. Budget 2022: EUR 82,264
