Beginning in the second week of August, Nepal experienced a period of sustained, heavy rainfall resulting in widespread flooding across 35 of the 75 districts. The number of affected schools has been reported to be 1866 (as of 15 Sept). More than 170,000 students have been affected and there is a crucial need of providing necessary support for children affected from the flood to help them overcome this kind of difficult experiences. Providing lifesaving messages and hygiene promotion for increased protection from various impacts of the disaster is to be carried out for affected children through teachers being trained in how to provide support to their students.

The project will also support member states to develop platforms of curated data and information sources such as digital libraries to promote quality and inclusive learning environments. Finally this activity will strengthen regional cooperation by establishing a regional networking platform.

An estimate 5% of the population of Nepal is affected with physical disabilities and their livelihood is affected far beyond the physical handicap itself. They suffer from exclusion and social stigma, which in turn reduces their ability to be socially and economically integrated. The HRDC is since over 25 years the leading institution providing services to disabled children and will be able to treat some 15’000 children per year with the equipment and mobile teams facilities made available through this programme.

The lack of physical access to economic opportunities, natural resources and social services is highly correlated with incidence of poverty in Nepal. Social and economic vulnerability of disadvantaged groups is often exacerbated by reduced access to road network. One of the major reasons for constraints in rural Nepal is in-adequate or ‘unsafe’ river crossings and lack of its maintenance. The proposed intervention will improve ‘safe’ river crossings by rehabilitating the 137 ‘critical’ trail bridges.

Past SDC interventions have focussed on making rural road construction work for the poor and disadvantaged through labour-intensive construction methods. This project now takes proven approaches further by ensuring even more all-weather accessibility to markets and services by emphasising the importance of maintenance and preservation of built roads through promotion of labour-based roads maintenance methods and by fostering an institutional process in the districts, which should pave the way for the highly successful concepts of road construction and maintenance to be adopted as national standards.

The Power Plant Extension of SCECO will improve daily living condition and enhance economic opportunities by providing uninterrupted hydro-power supply to 1’400 customers, and get up to 500 new connections to the local power grid, in the area of Salleri/Garma/Phalpu (HDI 0.45-0.50). Additionally, it will mitigate uncontrolled deforestation by reducing the use of firewood for cooking, heating and lighting purposes, in an area (lying between 2400 – 3000m alt.) where forest regeneration is slow. The project will thus enhance the sustainable use of local water resources while contributing to the maintenance of resilience to climate change at the local level.

The Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads of the Ministry of Local Development (DoLIDAR/MoLD) is responsible for construction and maintenance of motorable bridges in addition to local roads but it has limited capacity to shoulder this responsibility. DoLIDAR is desirous of a) developing norms and standards appropriate to local roads and b) strengthening its capacities as well as that of the private sector so that these pilots can be replicated. In this regard, GoN has requested SDC to support them with technical assistance. Switzerland has gained significant recognition and visibility in Nepal over the last 4 decades through its engagement in the transport sector, particularly in the trail-bridge and local road sectors.
