Development projects in Nepal

The major objective of this joint programme is to assess the impact of the global crisis on Nepal?s food system, food security, household level agriculture and income, livestock production, food and essential commodity prices and market functionality, and to explore the impact of the crisis on Nepal?s progress towards achieving SDG targets (mainly SDG 2). The differential impact the crisis has on urban and rural households and chronically vulnerable groups will also be assessed and analyzed. WFP and FAO will build on existing tools and systems for food security monitoring and emergency impact assessments (a combination of household surveys, market assessments and desk reviews as well as consultations with relevant stakeholders), with the evidence generated shared with the Government, development and humanitarian partners and other stakeholders to inform the design of potential response plans and strategic interventions by humanitarian and development agencies, as well as to inform Government policies, plans and programmes.

The unseasonal rainfall in October 2021 has impacted a huge loss in terms of seed production and the livelihood of the Farmer Seed Enterprise (FSE) members that are being supported through the Sowing Diversity = Harvesting Security (SD=HS) Program in the Sudurpaschim province in Nepal. A total of 137 MT of paddy and 3.8 MT of vegetable seed has been damaged. A total of 69 seed producers members from the FSEs has been severely impacted due to the catastrophic climatic events. The seed producers and other local farmers fearfor their food security, as paddy is the main staple crop. Likewise, it is anticipated that there will be an overall shortage of paddy seeds in 2022. The majority of the paddy seeds of early to medium rice varieties were damaged all over Nepal. The loss of the seed production, together with damages to its infrastructure has also caused a negative impact on the sustainability of the FSEs. Theymay fail to recover their investment in the paddy and other crops seeds and are likely to have a shortage of working capital next season for the purchase of foundation seeds and fertilizers. The SD=HS program will support the FSE in procuring enough foundation seeds of paddy for seed production in the coming season. However, there is a need of immediate support in building resilience and improving coping strategies of these farmer communities for the future in the advent of natural disasters. Project proposal With the donation of the Kihle Fund, Oxfam in Nepal and LI-BIRD will support the flood-affected farmers that work with the SD=HS Program in the Sudurpachim province of Nepal. Specific activities will be carried out over the next year to realize the following objectives. Objectives: 1. To support flood and landslide affected seed producers to recover from the damage from the 2021 rainfall 2. To strengthen the disaster coping mechanism of the community members for future similar occurrences 3. To strengthen the capacity of Farmer's Seed Enterprises to provide seed producers with safe seed storage, market, and financial services. Major Activities proposed: - Establishment and management of a Disaster Coping Fund - Development and implementation of a Community Based Disaster Preparedness Plan and Early Warning System - Mechanization of threshing and scaling up safe seed storage capacity:
