Strengthening and Expanding the Community Model of Mental Health Care in Nepal
Prevalence of mental health disorders is high in rural parts of Nepal and access to mental health services can be very limited due to challenges in awareness recognition and treatment options. The project aims to promote mental health and increase access t o mental health services in public health network within the districts of Lamjung and Dhading. Specific aims are to 1) promote mental health awareness and reduce stigma related to problems with mental health 2) increase accessibility and effectiveness of m ental health treatment in government health facilities and 3) empower community and people with mental disorders to advocate their rights and better access to treatment. The focus is on strengthening primary level outpatient treatment in line with WHO's re commendations and Nepal's National Mental Health Policy of 2017. The project implements a similar model that was previously adapted to Dang district. The model is based on strengthening already existing public health structures from health posts to special ized psychiatric hospitals by training health workers already publicly employed to recognize refer and treat mental health issues as well as raising citizens? awareness through workshops and advocacy. Local and district level mental health groups are estab lished to promote the rights of mentally ill people and enable citizens participation in decision making. Public health network is engaged in project activities and meetings to ensure continuity of mental health services after end of the project. Lastly me ntal health workshops are held for migrant workers in Kathmandu in collaboration with SASK.

Nepal: Earthquake - Humanitarian Assistance
On 25 April, an earthquake measuring 7.8 struck Nepal near Lamjung north-west of Kathmandu, followed by a 7.3 earthquake on 12 May between Sindhupalchowk and Dolakha districts north-east of Kathmandu. Both earthquakes were followed by multiple aftershocks and landslides with Kathmandu, Gorkha, Lamjung, Sinhupalchowk, Langtang and Everest Base Camp amongst the worst affected areas. In total, 8,219 people were killed and 20,063 injured by the two earthquakes and resulting landslides. Critical infrastructure was damaged and destroyed, including schools, hospitals and roads with around 409,000 homes destroyed and 265,000 damaged. This investment provided $10 million dollars to provide lifesaving humanitarian relief. It provided $1 million to the Australian Red Cross, $500,000 to RedR Australia, $4.5 million to the Nepal Flash Appeals, $4 million to Australian NGOs, and $50,000 to the SPRINT initiative (maternal and child health).

Oxfam in implementing a humanitarian response across 7 districts,within districts the local administration is coordinating the response; the government is assigning geographic areas of focus to the incoming INGO community. The current confirmed target populations is 327,625. The programme target remains 400,000, this is based on the assumption that additional VDCs will be allocated to Oxfam in Dhading and Nuwakot. Giro 555 (SHO) started a public appeal shortly after the first earthquake. Oxfam Novib will receive approximately Euro 3 million which will be a contribution to Oxfam's overall earthquake response in Nepal.

Nepal Earthquake Response
A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Nepal in between Kathmandu and Pokhra. The epicenter was 30 km east-south-east of Lamjung district. The earthquake has caused a number of landslides and avalanches. Strong aftershocks, including a 6.7 magnitude quake on 26 April, continued to threaten the lives of thousands of people and to further damage buildings and infrastructure. Many people are afraid and have slept outside for several consecutive nights, in spite of the falling rain. According to UN, it is estimated that over 8 million people are affected in 39 of Nepal’s 75 districts. Over 2 million people live in the 11 most critically hit districts. CRS has committed resources to relief efforts and has requested Caritas to begin procuring emergency relief materials such as tarpaulins/shelter kits and water, sanitation and hygiene materials. CRS is also looking at transporting materials from India to Nepal and has contacted the UN Hub in Dubai to request options for humanitarian supply flights from Dubai. Caritas Nepal launched a response in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Distribution of supplies, including food packages, tarpaulins, have already occurred. Through grassroots organisations and partner CBOs, and the ability to mobilise a high number of volunteers, Caritas Nepal is well placed to deliver an immediate relief and subsequent recovery programme. The scale of the disaster and the willingness of Caritas organisations to respond necessitates a rapid response through this appeal. This response will meet urgent needs in shelter, WASH, and non-food items. A follow up full Emergency Appeal will be prepared to include a comprehensive recovery strategy. The funding from this appeal will ensure Caritas Nepal can continue relief operations- focused primarily on immediate shelter needs non-food items, with a focus on provision of water and hygiene kits in 7 of the worst affected districts. 4 new district offices and warehouses will be established to coordinate and manage the response. CAFOD has since responded to the relief efforts and has deployed a number of staff to the country. Our response will focus on WASH, shelter and protection components.
