The Second Poverty Alleviation Fund Project (PAF) will assist Government of Nepal (GoN) in implementing a significant scaling up of the PAF program. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve living conditions, livelihoods and empowerment among the rural poor, with particular attention to groups that have traditionally been excluded by reasons of gender, ethnicity, caste and location. This is to be achieved through: (a) investing in community selected and managed sub-projects that create access to basic socioeconomic infrastructure and services, increase assets, generate employment and expand income-generating opportunities in poor villages; (b) enhancing the capacity of local bodies, particularly the Village Development Committees (VDCs), to provide better services for poor and socially excluded groups; and (c) improving government efforts to better coordinate support targeted towards poor and excluded groups. Given the rapid and successful implementation under the original PAF project, PAF II will maintain the existing design features, activities and inputs, under the following five components: (a) Small-Scale Village and Community Infrastructure, whereby small investments in infrastructure and services can make an important difference to poor communities; (b) Income Generating Sub-projects by which matching grants will be provided to self-selected groups of poor and excluded people for income-generation activities, based on objective criteria including ethnicity, caste, gender and poverty levels; (c) Innovation and Special Programs to continue to support proposals meriting special consideration owing to exceptional needs in a given context, or demonstrating innovative ways to improve livelihoods development and reach targeted groups; (d) Capacity Building which includes five sub-components: (i) Social Mobilization of Community Groups; (ii) Capacity Building for Local Bodies; (iii) Capacity Building for Target Groups Engaged in Income-Generating Activities; (iv) Support to Rural and Community Finance; (v) Information, Monitoring and Evaluation; and (e) Administration of PAF II which will continue to finance the operating costs of the PAF, including staff costs and other operating expenses.

To implement this project, there is a need of measurable effort from stakeholders such as from Government levels, private companies, media and civil society, etc. from demand side and private sector for supply side.The overall implementation of this project can be devised with five components: Component 1: Contexualization, baseline identification and R&D: i. Baseline studies, cost-benefit analysis and dissemination to the relevant stakeholders ii. Preparation of database management of the technologies to be promoted iii. Piloting of new and appropriate clean cooking technologies of Tier-3 and above, and the innovative business model Component 2: Promotion and deployment of clean cooking solutions by: i. Implementing one million Tier-3 and above stoves, 45000 Biogas and 70,000 electric stoves to the community specially focusing to Terai area. Priority will be given to the electric cooking above others. ii. Supporting to supply chain industry such as pellet industry, manufacturing companies to maintain the sustainable supply chain in the market. iii. Enhancing affordability of the end users by reducing price of technology and fuel; integration of innovative consumer financing models. iv. Linking clean cooking solution promotion activities with financing, micro-credit and income generation activities. v. Enabling access to finance for increasing investment by the private sector through challenge fund mechanism or viability gap fund mechanism as well as making enabling environment for private sector to get fund from financial institution. Component 3: Create enabling environment to promote Tier-3 and above cooking solutions, fuels and infrastructure by Capacity building and awareness of value chain actors: i. Rigorous awareness/behaviour change/marketing campaigns highlighting on the health benefits of clean cooking options together with other benefits like fuel saving, cleanliness and drudgery reduction as well as focus on imparting behaviour change in the traditional cookstove users to ensure the proper and sustained use of clean cooking solutions; rather than just providing the technology. ii. Capacity building of private investors, entrepreneurs and financial institutions iii. Stregthen the capacity of local entrepreneurs of raw materials/fuel supply chain. Component 4: Testing, quality assurance and monitoring: i. Developing and implementing the systems for quality assurance and monitoring mechanism ii. Creating the coordination mechanism for the supply chain actors for the quality assurance and monitoring. iii. Strengthen the existing testing facilities and expand the testing facility at provincial level iv. Regular monitoring of the technologies implemented for the sustainable operation. Component 5: Technical assistance for the sustainability: i. Strengthen collaboration and coordination among stakeholders; and create linkages between private sector, local government, banks/financial institutions and users to promote Tier 3 and above clean cooking solution and achieve desidered output. ii. Enabling environment by facilitating local government to prioritize clean cooking solution promotion in annual planning, formulating appropriate policies and incentive mechanisms. iii. Enabling environment by facilitating local government to prioritize clean cooking solution promotion in annual planning, formulating appropriate policies and incentive mechanisms. Currently, more than half the households of Terai region need to be served with clean cooking solutions. Also, Nepal initiated very ambitious campaign of Clean Cooking Solution. Then, GoN has endorsed Investment Prospectus (IP) and Biomass Energy Strategy 2017 with the aim of attaining Clean Cooking Solutions for all in two stages i.e. by improved solutions of cooking by 2022 (no open fire burning) and modern solutions of cooking with at least Tier-3 level by 2030. Thus, this programme is ready for scaling up and has the potential for transformation to IAP free kitchen, CCS and GHG emission reductions. With support from GoN and various External Development Partners (EDPs), AEPC has been able to successfully disseminate more than 431,000 household biogas plants, more than 2,000 solar cookers/dryers and above 1,434,000 Improved Cooking Stoves across the country. AEPC is the nodal agency of the Government of Nepal (GoN) for the promotion and development of renewable energy (RE), energy efficiency (EE) and related climate change activities across the country. AEPC requires well-defined PPP with bottom up approach. AEPC will facilitate coordination among all stakeholders, provide technical assistance to local government, conduct monitoring and evaluation and ensure quality assurance. AEPC with support from local government will develop framework, guidelines and procedures to call private sector to provide access to accessible CCS integrating innovative financing for beneficiaries. Despite AEPC’s efforts to secure financing from other development partners, a financial gap still remains, which is primarily needed for technical assistance. This is expected to be fulfilled by the support from GCF and AEPC will also look forward for the financing complementarity from other climate fund such as NAMA facility. Specific to financing, until an energy project is commissioned and capable of operating, there is no indirect financial benefits, e.g. reduced consumption of fuel wood, time saving which can be utilized in other economical activities, etc. The risk of not using the technology always looms around because of conventional approaches to cooking. Some mitigation would be awareness, making CCS technologies mandatory, and creating a value for CO2 emission reductions. At the end of the project, it is expected that 1 million biomass based improved cookstoves, 45000 biogas and 70,000 electric cooking will be promoted in Terai area.

Nepal has a longstanding tradition of providing asylum. The country hosts around 20,000 refugees, including those from Tibet, Bhutan and other states. The main arrivals of refugees took place in 1959 with an influx from Tibet, and again in 1990/1991 with an influx from Bhutan. UNHCR supports the Government of Nepal in various programmes to protect and assist refugees in the country. This includes advocacy for legal identity documentation, livelihood programmes to achieve self-reliance, and the inclusion of refugees into policies, public services and the Government of Nepal’s Emergency, Development and SDG planning. UNHCR works in close partnership with the Ministry of Home Affairs, other key ministries, provincial and local authorities, community-based organizations, development partners, donors, the private sector, NGOs, civil societies, and most importantly, the refugees themselves. Between 2007 to 2016, UNHCR helped resettle more than 113,500 Bhutanese refugees to eight different countries in one of the largest group resettlement programmes globally. This activity shows details of the UNHCR operation in Nepal for 2023 including the budget, funding, expenditure and results.

Child labour remains a persistent problem in Nepal. Although the national estimates show that child labour is decreasing in Nepal with an average of 1,00,000 every year, Nepal still has 1.6 million children as child labourers out of which 621,000 children are working in the worst forms of child labour. The Child Labour Phase I Project funded by the Embassy of Denmark on ‘Support to the Implementation of Nepal’s National Master Plan on the Elimination of Child Labour in Nepal”(August 2011-May 2013) focused on developing national level capacities of the Government and the social partners and improving the policy environment. But for greater impact, the efforts initiated by the Phase I of the Project need to be scaled up and sustained. It is in view of the challenges and the need to promote the child labour issues and concerns, the ACHIEVE Project supported by the Embassy of Demark, is designed at a request of the Ministry of Labour and Employment (MoLE) and the social partners. The three year Project aims to establish collaboration and partnerships with a wide range of governmental and non-governmental agencies, in particular the MoLE and social partners. The work with the ILO Constituents and the relevant stakeholders will result in two major outcomes; i) Child labour free communities created through replicable and scalable models, and ii) Policy environment and institutional capacities strengthened at the central and district levels and across a wide range of institutions that can contribute towards child labour elimination.

Nepal's recovery from the massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake in May 2015 brought hardship and economic challenges. This project will examine approaches to help Nepal manage natural disasters more effectively in the future. Huge economic and infrastructure losses The disaster triggered more than 1,000 landslides that closed roads, damaged hydroelectric power projects, and swept away small cities, villages, and terraced farmlands in the mid-hills. Fourteen of Nepal's 75 districts were severely hit, affecting almost 8 million people. The damage was estimated at US$7 billion, with three-quarters of that amount attributed to destroyed physical assets. The U.S. Geological Survey estimated that losses could exceed country's US$20 billion annual gross domestic product. Post-quake rebuilding effort While the immediate response of national, regional, and international governments and humanitarian groups was impressive, there are concerns about the Nepalese government's ability to oversee the complex post-quake rebuilding effort. After years of slow growth and political turmoil, Nepal lacks the knowledge it needs to develop an effective reconstruction package. The country needs the international community's help to develop better policies and to rebuild its ravaged infrastructure. Time to build Nepal's resiliency The project team will organize a three-day national dialogue to: -reflect on the earthquake's implications -develop future research agendas on disasters -develop resiliency in Nepal The event will convene researchers from the Nepal Water Conservation Foundation networks, private companies, and government agencies to discuss disaster risk reduction and practical options to enhance post-disaster resiliency. Project outputs will include: -Research reports on the issues associated with disasters and livelihoods -Well-defined research agenda on natural disasters and how to develop resiliency -Network of institutions and individuals interested in developing and implementing disaster risk related measures in Nepal

This project will test terrace farming innovations and offer strategies for NGOs to help 100,000 Nepalese entrepreneurs by establishing a start-up company to support product sales. The results may contribute to economic growth in areas of South and Southeast Asia where terrace farmers are prevalent. Partnering to support sustainable growth This project is a unique private-public partnership model for sustainable development, led by Local Initiatives for Biodiversity, Research and Development in Nepal and the University of Guelph in Canada. The project focuses on a key development problem in a region where male outmigration is generating the need for new gender-sensitive technologies and approaches for sustainable hillside agricultural intensification. Testing systems and technologies for better futures Specifically, the project team will: -test strategies to intensify terrace agriculture in a sustainable manner, including terrace wall farming (where walls comprise 20 to 50% of hillside surface area); -test products that reduce women's hard physical work on terraces; -produce a picture book to share best practices with illiterate women; -test products that encourage sustainability, employing a Canadian biotech invention called GlnLux to maximize organic nitrogen fertilizer production; -test and pilot products that help farmers develop more resilient farming systems, including biodiversity seed kits and smart phone extension technologies; and -test strategies that encourage farmers to experiment and reduce dependency on government systems (e.g., self-production of certified seeds). Improving opportunities for product sales The project team will test a distribution model to sell products in sustainable agriculture kits or to rent out "community sustainable agriculture kits" for expensive machinery. They will use a stall-based franchise model and local vendors. The team will procure products from Canadian and Nepalese companies to promote bilateral trade and to encourage scaling-up.

Executive Summary (one page) Nepal has been in the forefront of the combat on child labour. At the request of the Government of Nepal and the Social Partners, the new ILO project, “Support to the Implementation of Nepal’s National Master Plan on the Elimination of Child Labour” will support the implementation of the National Master Plan 2011/20. A key challenge is the inadequate and ineffective institutional and human resource capacity, particularly of public institutions with responsibility for governance, coordination, monitoring, and reporting on child labour elimination efforts. The Child Labour Elimination Section (CLES) under the lead Ministry of Labour and Transport Management is the key national entity for coordinating, monitoring and reporting on child labour interventions in the country. The Government recognizes that without an effective and capacitated CLES, the goals set out by the National Master Plan will not be achieved. The Project will contribute to the national Outcome (2) of the ILO Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) for Nepal, that is: “strengthened labour market governance by 2012”. The key project outcomes are; informed and conducive policy and legal framework for child labour elimination and prevention will be in place and functional and the governmental and non-governmental agencies and social partners will be engaged in concerted and effective implementation of the NMP 2011-20 on child labour elimination and prevention, with a priority on its worst forms. The proposed project, through direct support to the CLES of the MOLTM, will launch and support the implementation of the National Master Plan on the Worst Forms of Child Labour. The ILO will achieve the two outcomes with the strategies outlined below. It will collaborate closely with the CLES and will engage the social partners, local and international NGOs working in Nepal, relevant agencies and groups and the donors. The project will be administratively and technically administered by the ILO Country Office for Nepal, based in Kathmandu. An international adviser, on EXCOL contract, will be appointed by the ILO and will administratively work under the direct supervision of Director ILO Country Office Kathmandu. The ILO will provide administrative and management oversight through its Country Office in Nepal, and technical guidance and oversight through its Decent Work Country Team for South Asia and its technical department, namely IPEC.

The Asian Highlands, including the Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau, are the source of most major rivers in Asia and sustain nearly three billion people living downstream. Global warming and related climatic changes are predicted to impact river flows, soil moisture, and groundwater availability in the region. Socio-economic pressures are expected to compound water insecurity, particularly for vulnerable communities. At the same time, regional governments have yet to engage citizens in decision-making or address issues of trans-boundary water and governance. This project seeks to facilitate effective water resource management in the Asian Highlands by integrating climate change impact analysis with assessments of vulnerability, livelihood options, and water policy. Researchers at the Kunming Institute of Botany in China will develop regional bioclimatic maps and model climate scenarios to predict climate change impacts in the Asian Highlands. HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation will partner with the Kunming Institute to assess vulnerability and capacity to adapt to climate change in select communities in Nepal and Pakistan, while the Institute will lead vulnerability assessments in China. These case studies, coupled with climate data and an analysis of water policies, customary rights, and water management practices, will form the basis for local and regional shared-learning dialogues. The project will also look at the interaction between key stakeholders, the distribution of risks and benefits, and the negotiation of outcomes. Findings will be delivered through regional policy briefs, technical reports based on downscaled climate models, and peer-reviewed scientific publications. A variety of multi-media tools and data visualization methods will be used to communicate results to local communities, development practitioners, and key decision-makers. This project is funded through IDRC's Adaptation Research Initiative in Asia (ARI-Asia) with funds from the Government of Canada's fast-start financing
