Development projects in Nepal

The applicant, Hester Biosciences, is the second largest producer of poultry vaccines in India. To meet the increasing international demand for animal vaccines, Hester is seeking ways to expand its production capacity and extend its product range. Internationally, demand for PPR (Peste des Petits Ruminants) vaccine and CSF (Classical Swine Fever) vaccine is much higher that supply. However, India does not allow production of these vaccines, as the diseases do not occur in India (only vaccines based on the India strain are allowed, while international markets demand the Nigerian strain).Therefore, Hester aims to set up a production plant in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal in joint venture with Him Electronics, part of the Golchha organisation, one of Nepal's top-three industrial houses. The joint venture will produce for the local market (5% to 10%), but most of the production will be for international sales. The project will the first commercial production of animal vaccines in Nepal and create 66 direct jobs (30 basic-, 36 medium-/ high-level). All staff will be trained on the job in the production facility of Hester Biosciences in India and later on in the new plant in Nepal. The production plant will meet international bio-security (BDL-2) and quality standards (GMP, OHSAS, and ISO 14001:2004).Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)The plant will be certified for ISO 9001:2008 and GMP. In addition, standards for ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 will be introduced, but these certifications can only be obtained 12 to 24 months after project completion. The bio safety standards will adhere to BSL-2 criteria.Impact• Employment and working conditionsThe project will create 66 jobs (30 basic-level, 36 medium-/ high-level), increased to 200 (90 basic, 110 medium/high) after follow-up investments. Salaries will be at least 20% above minimum wage. Working conditions will be up to international OHSAS and ISO 14000 standards.• Innovation / Transfer of knowledgeThis high tech project will transfer knowledge in these areas of expertise: veterinary sciences, animal vaccine production procedures and quality assurance in the supply chain.• Chain effectsThe project will create 25 indirect jobs with the 6 (sub)dealers in Nepal.• EnvironmentThe impact on the environment will be neutral, as the project takes adequate measures (BSL-2 and ISO 14001:2004 standards).• Position of womenAt least 30% of the staff will be female, including medium/high-level positions.

With six climate zones, where a range of 7,000 different herbs grow, Nepal is a unique location for the processing of herbs. The basic rationale for this project stems from the increasing demand for herbs and herbal products in international markets (EU in particular).The applicant, Biosynergy A/S (Skaro, Denmark), has been involved in Nepal's herb sector since 2003. Together with Chaudhary Biosys Nepal Pvt. Ltd, they want to develop a new organic herbal supply chain in Nepal, involving 220 outgrowers and collectors of wild herbs. The project will obtain FairTrade certification and introduce FairWild certification in Nepal. In addition the company will become ISO 22000 certified.The joint venture will setup a processing facility in Kailali district (Far Western Region) and organise outgrowers en collectors in the surrounding districts. Processing fresh herbs into (semi)finished goods for export, will add value in Nepal, ensuring a better price for farmers/collectors in some of the poorest communities in Nepal.Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)The joint venture will be certified under the ISO 22000 standard, all extracts will be certified organic and FairTrade/FairWild. In addition, the joint venture will extent the CSR activities of CBN in the local communities where they source the raw materials.Salaries will be at least 10% above minimum wage and 10% of the company's profit will be deposited for the benefit of the employees.Impact• Employment and working conditionsThe project will create 37 direct jobs (fourteen basic-level, 23 medium-/high-level), increased to 59 (21 basic, 38 medium/ high) after follow-up investments. Salaries will be at least 10% above minimum wage. Working conditions will be up ISO 22000 standards.• Innovation / Transfer of knowledgeThis project will transfer knowledge in these areas of expertise: herbal extraction, supply chain management, marketing in EU market. More importantly, 220 farmers and collectors will be trained in sustainable growing and harvesting of natural resources, while informing them on what is a fair price for their goods.• Chain effectsThis project can be a catalyst in involving other (private sector) players to become active in an important niche of Nepal: herbs. With the ISO 22000 certification and FairTrade/FairWild practices, this project can be an inspiring example.• EnvironmentThe impact on the environment will be positive, as the project promotes sustainable harvesting to prevent degradation of natural resources (organic and FairTrade/FairWild certifications).• Position of womenAt least 6 women will be employed in medium-/high-level positions. Cultivation and collection of herbs is traditionally being done by women. This project and the FairTrade/FairWild certification will be beneficial for their empowerment.

Despite a ceasefire and Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in 2006, there has been recent volatility in several regions of Nepal. This instability has hindered the population's access to basic services, including food. An estimated 42 out of 75 districts throughout the country are currently experiencing food shortages. CIDA's contribution is used to help the World Food Programme provide emergency food assistance to conflict-affected populations. Special emphasis is given to targeting women, children, ethnic minorities and vulnerable indigenous groups. This operation is expected to meet the food aid needs of an estimated 1.3 million beneficiaries.

Refugees and displaced persons often live in difficult conditions for long periods of time, and rely heavily on an uninterrupted supply of international food assistance to camps where they are often confined for lengthy durations. While the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) plays the lead role in helping to ensure the protection of refugees and internally displaced populations, the World Food Programme (WFP) also contributes to address situations of critical food insecurity. Given the needs of other WFP operations, donors often overlook refugee programs. As a result, in many operations, rations for refugees are often below minimum standards. UNHCR and WFP have thus joined efforts to raise awareness on programming gaps affecting refugees, and to address acute malnutrition in humanitarian contexts. CIDA's contribution is supporting WFP to address critical food insecurity needs for refugees and internally displaced persons, based on assessed needs on the ground. This support helps to ensure regular and uninterrupted access to an appropriate supply of food assistance, for those that rely on the WFP to meet their emergency food needs. WFP activities also focus on finding sustainable solutions to help build the capacities of vulnerable populations to meet their own food and nutrition needs.

GNBs målsättning under deras nya strategiska plan för sekretariatet 2026-2030, är att 2030 ha bidragit till att förhindra att 7 miljoner flickor gifts bort innan de har fyllt 18 år. GNB avser att bidra till detta genom två ömsesidigt förstärkande strategier: 1. Globalt arbete för att säkerställa mer resurser och effektfulla politiska åtaganden. Säkerställa att barnäktenskap är prioriterat i internationella och sektorspecifika agendor samt värna existerande dedikerad finansiering och bidra till ökad resursmobilisering för arbetet mot barnäktenskap. GNB avser att säkerställa att målsättningar om att motverka barnäktenskap prioriteras i minst 3 internationella agendor, ramverk eller finansieringsmekanismer, och säkerställa åtaganden om minst 1 miljard USD i finansiering för arbete mot barnäktenskap. 2. Fokusering vad gällande resultat på landnivå för att påskynda framsteg. Genom investeringar i medlemsdrivna samarbetskoalitioner i prioriterade länder avser GNB bidra till förändrade maktstrukturer, stärkt lagstiftning, ökad implementering av befintliga lagar och policys, samt stödjande normförändringar. GNB avser att bidra till mätbara förbättringar vad gällande minskad förekomst av barnäktenskap i 10 utvalda länder. De två strategierna är ömsesidigt förstärkande: politiska åtaganden på regional och global nivå är en förutsättning för ökad finansiering av arbete som motverkar barnäktenskap, samt ansvarsutkrävande på nationell nivå. Framsteg på nationell nivå inspirerar och bidrar till best practices för likstämmiga länder samt är en förutsättning för politiskt engagemang och ledarskap på regional och global nivå. För att uppnå GNBs övergripande målsättning kommer organisationen att tillämpa fyra ömsesidigt beroende huvudsakliga taktiker: 1. Mobilisera rörelseaktörer som arbetar för att motverka barnäktenskap, kring gemensamma agendor, koordinerade strategier och delat inflytande. 2. Utrusta medlemmar, nationella koalitioner och andra relevanta förändringsaktörer med de verktyg och data som de behöver för att genomföra effektivt evidensbaserat arbete för att motverka barnäktenskap. 3. Påverka och bidra till politiskt engagemang på samtliga nivåer, kombinerat med systemförändringar på landnivå i de kontexter där det har bedömts finnas bäst förutsättningar. 4. Finansiera nationella medlemsledda koalitioner och värna (samt bidra till ökad) internationell finansiering för arbete mot barnäktenskap. För verksamhetsår 2026, vilket blir GNBs första år under den nya strategiska inriktningen, kommer fokus ligga på att ansvarsfullt fasa ut arbete som prioriterats i linje med föregående strategiska plan, och börja lägga grunden för den verksamhet som skall generera resultat under denna strategiperiod. Verksamheten som GNB avser att genomföra under 2026 förväntas bidra till följande exempel på resultat: - Etableringen av ett internationellt kollektiv av minst 10 framträdande ledarprofiler för arbete mot barnäktenskap som bidrar till politiska prioriteringar från minst åtta regeringar, samt stärkt samarbete med minst 10 ledande organisationer. - Hänförbara initiala resultat på landnivå i Malawi som GNBs första accelerator-land. Förväntade resultat är bland annat policyförbättringar, ökad inhemsk finansiering och implementering av den nationella strategin för att motverka barnäktenskap i minst två distrikt som ett resultat av Girls Not Brides Malawis arbete. - Framtagna genomförandeplaner för de resterande 9 prioriterade samarbetsländerna (Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Burkina Faso, Nepal, Bangladesh, Indien, Mexico och Colombia) med tidiga tecken på policyframsteg och stärkt kapacitet och ökad samordning hos de nationella GNB-koalitionerna. För verksamheten i Kenya, Uganda och Bangladesh förväntas följande resultat uppnås av verksamhet som genomförs 2026: Kenya - Ett effektivt, inflytelserikt och evidens-baserat civilsamhällesdeltagande i färdigställandet och lanseringen av Kenyas nationella strategi mot skadliga sedvänjor. - Ett stärkt nationellt partnerskap i Kenya (Girls Not Brides Kenya) som representerar 135 civilsamhällesorganisationer, som i utökad utsträckning kan driva gemensamt och koordinerat (mer effektfullt) påverkansarbete och utkräva ansvar gentemot ansvarsbärare i arbetet mot barnäktenskap. Uganda - Det nationella partnerskapet i Uganda (Girls Not Brides Uganda) som representerar 120 nationella medlemsaktörer och organisationer, har stärkts ekonomiskt och tekniskt för förbättrat ledarskap, kommunikation och effektivare påverkansarbete. - Stärkt evidens och lärande kring effektivt civilsamhällesdeltagande i genomförandet av Ugandas nationella strategi för att motverka barnäktenskap och ungdomsgraviditeter. Bangladesh - Ökad kunskap om huvudsakliga drivkrafter, geografiska utsattheter, rådande policyramverk och implementeringsgap samt möjligheter för accelererat arbete för att motverka barnäktenskap i Bangladesh. Utifrån denna kartläggning och analys, positionera det nationella partnerskapet i Bangladesh inför fördjupat arbete under resterande strategiperiod.

Nepal is already among the world's least developed nations and is only beginning to recover from a protracted civil war. The World Food Programme's (WFP) Emergency Operation is providing emergency food rations to 225,000 beneficiaries in 10 target districts in the mid- and far-western hill and mountain regions, which have been identified as severely or highly affected by the winter's drought. The overall objective is to secure lives and livelihoods through to the next harvest in food-insecure, drought-affected communities. Specific aims are to stabilize vulnerability to food insecurity and maintain nutritional status (with special attention to women and children); preserve household assets and mitigate vulnerability through the creation or rehabilitation of basic community assets; and prevent mass migration (and a possible increase in the number of female-headed households).

Canada made a grant to the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund to support its operations. Funding from CIDA and other donors enables the Fund to meet its established objectives. The UN's Peacebuilding Support Office is responsible for providing general directives for managing and monitoring the operation of the Fund's programs. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is responsible for the associated administrative work. The Peacebuilding Fund seeks to provide a decisive transitional recovery tool for conflict-affected countries, at a time when they may not have any other source of funding. The Fund helps these countries to overcome the first of many obstacles they face on emerging from a crisis. The Fund thus reduces the risk that the conflict may flare up again. The Fund assists countries considered by the UN Peacebuilding Commission, currently Burundi and Sierra Leone. The Fund is also for countries designated by the Secretary-General that find themselves in similar situations. Once the peacebuilding process begins, the Fund seeks to remedy weaknesses identified in four key sectors: (1) support in implementing peace agreements; (2) support for efforts by the countries involved to build their capacity to coexist and to settle conflicts peacefully; (3) establishment or restoration of basic administrative services, as well as human and technical resources; and (4) vital activities to counter imminent threats to peace.

Considering the ecological and biological diversity, Nepal is recognised as one of the most potential countries for mass scale beekeeping. It is estimated that Nepal has a potential of producing more than 10,000 metric tonnes of honey, but is currently harnessing less than 15% of its potential.Honey International (HI) and Gandaki Bee Concern (GBC) want to develop a cooperation to increase both quality and quantity of bee products (honey) in Nepal for local demand and export purposes.The partners will establish a new joint venture to process the current honey supply of GBC according to HACCP standards and process, market and export several niche products (organic honey, rock honey, api health products). The partners will set up a bee resource (queen rearing) centre and a quality control laboratory. The processing facility will be in Kathmandu and the partners will train 600 (and contract 300) small beekeepers in remote, rural areas of Nepal. Improving the honey sector in Nepal can have a large impact on marginalised minorities in the remote rural areas of Nepal.Currently, Nepal cannot export honey to countries in the EU.Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)Collection of Rock honey is considered a cultural phenomenon of some marginalised minorities and is done in a traditional (and hazardous) way.The project will establish an association of rock honey hunters that will supply safety training and equipment and educate the hunters in sustainable ways to collect rock honey. The project will certify part of the production as organic and has a strong vision on CSR. GBC is an active member of CSR network Nepal and reflects the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact. In line with GBC's current policy, the joint venture will take a pro-active stance in Human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption issues.ImpactEmployment and working conditionsThe project will create 55 basic-level and 15 high-level jobs, additional to the 40 current employees of GBC. Two years after the project, this will be increased to 70 basic-level and 30 high-level jobs.Innovation/Transfer of knowledgeModern beekeeping techniques (seasonal management) are new for Bangladesh. The project will train staff in HACCP standards, and train certain beekeepers in organic beekeeping. In addition it will introduce queen rearing Artificial Insemination (AI) technology.Chain effectsThe project will train 600 new beekeepers and contract 300. The increased productivity and possible export of honey will have a positive impact on the sector.EnvironmentBeekeeping is an environmentally friendly activity and pollination is essential for flora propagation. The project will develop certified organic honey and promote sustainable collection methods for rock honey by local bee hunters.Position of women60% of the project's staff will be female, including 9 out of 15 medium-/high-level jobs.
