The principal assets of rural municipalities are their natural resources; water, land and forests, which could provide them both direct and indirect income through collection of revenues. In their first five years of existence, the municipalities have focused to improve service delivery in education and health sectors. With the assistance of RVWRMP, municipalities have been engaged in water resource management. The Project will widen the scope to include also the management and conservation of terrestrial natural resources. LACC Project will continue working with the RVWRMP municipalities in Karnali Province and the hills and mountains of Sudurpashchim Province in the Western Nepal. The ProjectŽs impact statement is: Sudurpashchim and Karnali Provinces improve climate resilience through sustainable management and conservation of their natural resources. The first results area focuses on management and conservation of terrestrial ecosystems. The second results area focuses on integrated water resource management (IWRM) and conservation and the third one on institutional development of provincial and municipal governments and dignified menstruation. The total budget of the Project is estimated at MEUR 74, comprising MEUR 18 from the EU, MEUR 13 from GOF, MEUR 25 from GON (tbc), estimated MEUR 9 from municipalities, and estimated MEUR 9 from users in cash and kind.
