This project was developed in close collaboration with local communities and District Forest Officials in Jhapa, Nepal, the easternmost district in the Terai landscape, in order to strengthen elephant conservation efforts. Project objectives include: 1) support local communities in the management and maintenance of electric fences to prevent elephants from entering villages; 2) form, train, and equip community-based Elephant Response Teams (ERT) and strengthen their capacity to deal with HEC; 3) create a database for long-term tracking of human-elephant conflict (HEC) data; and 4) conduct community awareness workshops to encourage behavior change towards elephants. These interventions are expected to reduce community resentment towards elephants and lead to behavior change which reduces both human and elephant fatalities from HEC in this priority landscape of eastern Nepal.

The purpose of this project is to mitigate tiger human conflict through provision of predator proof corral houses; providing skills training to families that have suffered from tiger human conflict; and raising awareness among communities located adjacent to the park so they may live in greater harmony with big cats. This will be done by: (1) carrying out human wildlife conflict assessments in the buffer zone of the park and maintaining a database for use in identifying communities to be addressed by the project; (2) selecting farmers who have lost livestock due to leopard/tiger conflict and assisting them in replacing their corral houses with predator proof houses (175 such houses to be constructed); (3) providing cooking skills training to family members of families that have lost members due to tiger attacks and assisting them in obtaining employment in local hotels; and (4) carrying out a conservation education program for local school children, youth groups and community members to increase their knowledge and understanding and engagement in tiger conservation.

Summary Of Project Information (SPI) Project Name Nepal-Upper Bhote Koshi Hydroelectric Power Project Region Asia Sector Power Project No007365 Projected Board DateDecember 8, 1997 Company NameBhote Koshi Power Company Technical Partner and/or Major Shareholders Panda Energy International, Inc. Harza Engineering Company International L.P. Himal International Power Corporation Project Cost Including proposed IFC investment Up to US$3 Million exposure to undertake US$ interest rate swaps. Location of project and Description of site Kathmandu (Nepal) Description of Company and Purpose of Project The objective of this project is to allow Bhote Koshi Power Company (the Company) to hedge its interest rate risk. The Company has requested that IFC establish a Risk Management Facility in order for it to enter into interest rate swaps on its FMO, Dresdner and Bayerische Vereinsbank loans under the IFC B loan. The interest rate swaps will effectively convert these loans from variable rate US Dollar (US$)to fixed rate US$. These interest rate swap transactions will be priced on the basis of standard IFC pricing guidelines for client risk management transactions. IFCs total exposure under these swap transactions is estimated at approximately US$3.0 million. This project will further support the developmental initiatives cited in IFCs investment in the Project. Interest rate risk management would improve the stability of the Companys future cashflows and enhance its economic viability. Environmental Category and Issues The proposed transaction is of financial nature only, and accordingly is classified as a Category C Project according to IFCs environmental review guidelines and procedures. No further environmental review is required.
