  1. AKP PILOT ACTIVITY IN NEPAL Building the Resilience of Mountain People and Local Governments2012 Undertaken by Resources Himalaya Foundation Supported byAdaptation Knowledge Platform

  2. Broad Objectiveto strengthen the resilience capacity of local people to climate change and to bring the climate change issues in mainstream of planning mechanism. Specific Objectives • To organize climate awareness programs and develop information material to help build resilience of the most vulnerable communities to climatic variability; • To develop policy guideline for the local government with the knowledge on 1) what they can help to climate vulnerable groups; 2) how they can address climate related issues in their local planning mechanisms; and 3) what specific methods are appropriate for the integration in their plan and programs; and • To share the outcomes of the activities with the central level government authorities (NPC and CCC), and strengthen mainstreaming process of capacity building for the vulnerable communities.

  3. Project Area: Ramechhap • Second most vulnerable district in Nepal by NAPA index of Combined-Multiple Risk-Exposure. • Much known district as a drought prone area of Nepal, where its 18 VDCs (village development committees) in the southern belt face severe drought and climate related disaster every year. • Reported low agricultural productivity mainly because of low and/or erratic rainfall for over a decade and • People facing varied problems linked to climatic variability such as food scarcity, lack of drinking water, health.

  4. Activities & Process Climate Awareness Programs & Information Material • Survey: Focal Group Discussions, and Key Informant Interviews • Climate Awareness Programs • Information Material Development Policy Guideline for the Local Government • study and survey on current institutional arrangements and planning mechanisms for climate change within a local government • Workshop at Local Level and National Level Share the Outcomes with the Central Level Authorities • Central level workshop

  5. Expected Outcomes • Information material will be prepared in local languages and distributed to target groups. The material demonstrates knowledge that helps to build resilience of most vulnerable people whose livelihoods have been or will be affected by climate-related problems • A technical policy brief that demonstrates i) information on what local governments can do for helping build the resilience of the mountain people to the climate problems in the two relevant sectors, and ii) context-specific planning tools/methods on how they can integrate those actions identified in the above into local planning mechanisms • A synthesis report that summarizes the feedbacks from the Planning Commission and the Climate Change Council provided at the knowledge dissemination workshop at central level.
