Mechanized Irrigation Innovation Project
The project will provide long-term sustainable solutions to increase year-round access to irrigation water in about 22,400 hectares (ha) of command area in Rautahat and Sarlahi districts of Madhesh Province in the Terai. This will provide increased climate resilience and water security to poor rural farmers by constructing a large-scale network of about 500 deep tube wells (DTWs) with dedicated and reliable electricity distribution networks. The management, operation, and maintenance (MOM) of the tube well irrigation schemes will be contracted to a third-party operator, using a design-build-operate (DBO) contracting modality. On-demand irrigation services will be provided to at least 121,000 farmers using innovative technology with a prepaid water metering system. The project will be the first of its kind in Nepal and will transition from traditional irrigation systems toward a more resilient and sustainable irrigation system.

Enhancing Livelihoods of Smallholder farmers in Central Terai Districts of Nepal (ELIVES)
Elives project is implemented in Bara, Rautahat, Sarlahi and Mahottari districts. These districts rank lowly in the overall Human Development Index (HDI) as well as in Human Poverty Index (HPI). In spite of potential in goat and vegetable sub-sectors, productivity remain low in these districts. Private sector service providers are largely absent outside of the district head quarters and towns making it practically impossible for poor households to take advantage of commercial agricultural opportunities. There are weak links with key value chain actors, such as input suppliers, service providers and output buyers. Smallholder farmers are unable to make informed decisions due to lack of information on technology and markets. Project interventions will support government's effort to reach to smallholder farmers in commercial livestock and agricultural development through local capacity building and strengthening market linkages.;

End Child Labour in Southern Nepal
Over 90 boys and girls as young as 6 years old currently work in brick factories in Rautahat, Southern Nepal, instead of going to school. This project will ensure the children will receive a good quality education and no longer work in the factories. Their families will be supported so they don't suffer financially as a result of their children attending school. Once all 90 children are helped, we will replicate the project in neighbouring villages where the need is equally large.

Climate Change Adaptation and Advocacy Project in Nepal
Over the period of 38 months, the proposed project will work with active Community Based Organisations (CBOs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), that were formed and capacitated by the existing projects, such as women empowerment centre (WEC), farmer's groups, community forestry user's groups (CFUG), community disaster management committees (CDMCs), youths' groups etc. Through these groups, we will reach the most marginalized, climate affected poor, excluded and women groups. To meet the long -term development objective, the project will focus its field level climate change action works to one municipality in Rautahat district i.e., Chandrapur municipality. The community level climate action works will be captured as evidence for provincial and federal level influencing and advocacy. The evidence generation and advocacy works can be done side by side however it takes some time to collect evidence and do advocacy and influencing works. The target for influencing work is local government, provincial government, federal government and international stakeholders as well. Over the period of 38 months, the project will directly reach to 5,000 people from 1,000 House Holds (HHs) through 10 CBOs/CSOs. Out of 10 CBOs/CSOs, at least 2 will be women's organizations such as WEC or women's groups.

CSF 15-22 Y3 PAYMENT 'DIGNITY FIRST - DEFEATING FEAR, FINDING
The aim of the project is to improve the health, well-being and dignity of people affected by leprosy or disability in four highly endemic districts in southern Nepal (Lalitpur, Bara, Parsa and Rautahat). Through the current project, TLMNI will seek to enhance the technical capacity of Government health workers and community health volunteers to identify, diagnose, treat, and manage leprosy and complications. It will bring vital hospital services directly to rural communities providing surgery and preventing further disability. In addition, it will help participants to build resilience through self-help groups with opportunities to develop climate resilient livelihoods and for meaningful engagement with local government on relevant issues. The key implementing partner, TLM-Nepal, is well established and works through government frameworks and in line with national and international policies. As part of the Leprosy Mission Global Fellowship, TLMNI has access to a network of global expertise on leprosy, enabling themmake high quality interventions that will contribute significantly towards eradicating leprosy in Nepal. The project’s multi pronged approach is gender and context sensitive. The strong focus on supporting women and girls and detailed climate impact analysis to help develop sustainable livelihood approaches is coherent with A Better World and the priority areas of gender equality and climate action.

223415_Nepal Flood and landslide response (Start Fund Alert N-24)
Supporting the marginalized and the most vulnerable people to cope with flood and landslide with emergency Food Items (FI) and/or Non-Food Items (NFI) in NEPAL. Severe flooding and landslides in Sindhuli and Rautahat districts of Nepal have caused widespread displacement, extensive infrastructure damage, and devastated agricultural lands. Immediate humanitarian response is needed to provide emergency shelter, food, clean water, and medical aid, especially for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, children, and people with disabilities. The proposed districts are located in geographically remote areas, increasing their vulnerability to poverty and crisis. The LG and some of the humanitarian actors (eg Nepal Red Cross, Plan International are already on the ground in Sindhuli and Care Nepal is present in Rautahat, however they are not active for response now to support the affected families. Convening Agency will coordinate with Care Nepal in Rautahat while implementing the project. To ensure that basic human rights and humanitarian needs such as access to food and shelter are met, there is an urgent need to aid the people affected by the disaster in the specified locations. To carry out these activities, the Convening Agency will deploy its Head Office and Field Office Staff, who have experience in emergency response, to provide technical support to the partners in the project areas. Additionally, experienced project staff from local districts will be mobilized. To ensure that, NFI-shelter, Kitchen kit, hygiene kit, dignity kits and shelter materials will be of quality that meets minimum humanitarian standards, and a choice that is preferred by the target group, Convening Agency has incorporated information and learning from past distributions to inform this project design. The project will also invest resources to support orientation (of project staffs and stakeholders) on safeguarding and PSEA policies, GBV concerns and Core humanitarian standards as well as sensitize the beneficiaries on existing complaints and response mechanisms (CRM) embedded in ongoing consortiums programming. Finally, the project will conduct stakeholders monitoring and PDM to ensure the project is ongoing as planned and determine beneficiary satisfaction with the interventions and the process. The total cost per (direct) beneficiary is estimated at GBP 25 noting that the project will also reach indirect beneficiaries.
