Manufacturing of tailor-made suits for export
100%data completenessNote: This project has been cancelled, because of bankruptcy of the applicant.The applicant A suit That Fits Ltd (ASTF) was established in 2006. The company is active in the market niche for tailor-made clothing. ASTF employs 48 staff. The company has its head office in London and 33 fitting studios across the United Kingdom (UK). ASTF has developed its own software to support the studios in transfer of measurements and other data for each suit.The local partner Suit That Fits Pvt. Ltd. (STF) was registered in 2008. The company produces suits for the company of ASTF. Furthermore, STF sells tailor-made garments on the local market. The company employs 10 staff and co-operates with 20 tailors.The applicant ASTF and the Nepali partner STF want to establish a joint venture in Nepal. The company will comprise an industrial workshop for the manufacturing of tailor-made suits to be marketed via ASTF in the UK and other countries.The market for tailor-made clothing and particular suits has been growing even during the economic downturn and the partners wish to position themselves as one of the leading UK suppliers. The unique production chain concept will enable the partners to remain price-competitive while adhering to the highest ethical standard of business conduct.The joint venture will invest in a workshop and a combination of computer-controlled, semi-automatic and manual equipment.The employees will be trained to work with the new equipment and to deliver a high quality of suits. The computer network that will be established will connect the workshop with the UK office, guaranteeing real-time communication.The SEDEx (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) – SMETA (SEDEx Members Ethical Trade Audit) certification the joint venture will obtain, will give the partners and their customers a guarantee that the supply chain is developed on fair and sustainable principles, with fair sharing of profits and good working conditions for all employees.With this project the partners will demonstrate how a viable garment supply chain can be set up under Nepali circumstances. Through its membership at the Garment Association of Nepal the joint venture will aim to increase the level of skills in the sector.Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)The joint venture will assure compliance with the ETI base code for labour practices and will obtain certification under the SMETA standard of SEDEx. This standard is widely accepted in the UK as it ensures transparency and offers up-to-date database with information on business conduct of all companies listed.Impact• Employment and working conditionsThe wages will be at least 40% above the minimum wage in Nepal. Fringe benefits for employees include provident fund for employees after 2 years of employment, gratuity after 5 years of service, medical insurance for accidents, health insurance, overtime pay, holiday / festival allowance, team building activities and social events.The new manufacturing facility will be built and equipped to provide good working conditions and meet health and safety standards as required by law and the criteria of the SMETA audit guidelines.The company will employ 53 people directly. On top 35 stitchers will be hired and paid per unit produced. However, if work is slow, a minimum payment is guaranteed to the stitchers.• Innovation / Transfer of knowledgeThe technology introduced is new for Nepal. For example computer-controlled cutter, special lockstitch equipment and dedicated machines for steam-ironing. The joint venture will also introduce an innovative industrial organisation of the manufacturing process with strong attention for quality control.• Chain effectsThe main suppliers of the joint venture will be suppliers of fabric. Although the majority of fabric will be imported, local importing companies will also generate an additional turnover.Furthermore, suppliers of lining, pattern paper, eco-fabric, threads, buttons and other supplementary material will benefit from the project.The joint venture will take care that all suppliers are aware of the ETI standard and the SMETA requirements and will assist new suppliers to comply with the quality requirements.As the joint venture will be export-oriented, it will impact local consumers only indirectly – through its cooperation with the local partner STF.• Impact on the sectorThe joint venture will apply for the membership at the Garment Association of Nepal. The joint venture will participate in the Association’s effort to strengthen the sector and develop a training centre that is currently being established in a joint effort of the Nepali Government and the Garment Association.• EnvironmentThe joint venture will aim to minimise any adverse effects on the environment.• Position of womenSlightly positive.Overall 40% of the employees will be women, and of the medium-/high-skilled jobs 35% will go to female workers.• Impact on government/society levelPartners have made a commitment to a middle school in Kathmandu to sponsor several poor and needy students.Furthermore, the project will generate tax income for the Government and a regular inflow of foreign currency from export.• Impact on the local shareholders' positionThe company of the local partner will focus on the local market, but it will use the same supply channels as the joint venture and will therefore offer the same quality suits to local customers. The designs used by the joint venture will also be made available to SFT so that the local company will offer to the local market the clothing according to the latest fashion and style trends.

Freeflow river energy in Nepal using Tocardo-turbines
100%data completenessNote: This project has been cancelled, because of bankruptcy of the applicant.Nepal has a major shortage of energy that hampers its development. Hydro power is indicated as the most promising source of energy in the long term. Due to political instability, no major hydro power projects are initiated. A group of Nepali businessmen has invested in surveys to investigate the possibility for medium scale hydro power plants that do not require major engineering works like dams or pipes. The results were positive and led to the establishment of Glow Tech Solutions, the local partner. Tocardo International B.V., the applicant, is a Dutch company that developed a free flow turbine. Together they set-up a joint venture to produce electricity for the Nepalese national grid and to supply power plants to major businesses. To lower the costs of the turbines, the turbines will be moulded and assembled in Nepal. The major bottleneck for financing this joint venture commercially is the fact that investors and banks need proof that the free flow turbine performs according to its specifications in Nepal and can be collateral of a loan. Banks have already promised financing the assembly of new turbines in Nepal if this is demonstrated. The joint venture therefore needs PSI to finance the first four turbines that will be used for the production of electricity to be delivered to the national grid. The first turbines will be installed in Tanahu District, a lower hill area in south-east Nepal, where the river has the right flow characteristics.The joint venture will assemble the turbines and Glow Tech Solutions will built, install, operate and transfer the hydro plants for customers, using local contractors. Glow Tech has already acquired licenses to survey locations with an option to install hydro plants. The plants will be owned by the customers.Tocardo International BV will deliver some parts and design of the turbines and receive a royalty for the IPR. They will train the joint venture in assembling the turbines and in installing them at the site. In the long run they hope to use the joint venture as a base for delivering turbines to neighbouring countries that have rivers fed from the Himalayas.Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)There are many CSR aspects. They concern gender, environment, corruption and human rights. In fact, this is a low risk project as far as CSR principles are concerned. The turbine was selected because of its minimum disruptive impact on rivers, producing clean energy. The rivers at the intended locations are not used for barging or fishery. The assembly does not require heavy machinery.Impact• Employment and working conditionsIn addition to the strict labour laws in Nepal, the workers will also receive extensive safety training.• Innovation / Transfer of knowledgeThe use of the free flow turbine is new to Nepal, as it is to most of the world.• Chain effectsThe local shareholders will become an important player on the energy market.The major impact will be an uninterrupted power supply for businesses. This would save costs for expensive back up installations.• Impact on the sectorLocal households can use off grid electricity and safe € 200 per year.• EnvironmentPositive impact. Hydro power is considered clean energy.• Position of womenNeutral.

Food Assistance in Nepal - World Food Programme 2010-2011
95%data completeness16 March 2011 - After more than a decade of civil conflict, Nepal continues to face a series of overwhelming challenges relating to poverty, food insecurity and lack of infrastructure. Three and a half million people in Nepal are considered to be moderately to severely food-insecure – 40 percent more than two years ago. Furthermore, Nepal’s location in the Himalayas makes it particularly susceptible to climate change. In recent years, severe weather such as drought, erratic rainfall and flooding have resulted in consecutive food production deficits. In March 2010, food price inflation was at 18 percent. CIDA’s contribution is helping WFP to meet the needs of more than 1.2 million people faced with food insecurity in Nepal. Under this operation, which is operational from January 2011 until December 2012, activities supported include general food distribution, supplementary feeding, cash/food for work initiatives, conditional transfers, and other forms of critical food assistance.

Certified herb extracts from Nepal
100%data completenessWith 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.

Food Assistance for Refugees and the Displaced - WFP 2007-2009
95%data completenessRefugees 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.

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.
