Sahara Nepal will conduct advocacy and campaign activities to increase awareness of local stakeholders (communities; local government; user groups) on environment friendly rural road construction. Sahara Nepal will form, develop capacity and mobilize Community Animal Aquatic Conservation Groups (CAACGs) to enhance the capacity of local communities and governments for conservation and sustainable management of aquatic biodiversity to form and endorse a local adaption plan with active participation of local communities.
The Paani Program—also known in Nepali as the “USAID Water Project”
युएसएड पानी परियोजना—is a 5 year, $25 million USAID-funded Project in Nepal. Water is the single most important natural resource underpinning Nepal’s economy and livelihoods. The sustainable management of water resources in Nepal depends on addressing climate change and protecting healthy, biodiverse ecosystems. Paani aims to enhance Nepal’s ability to manage water resources for multiple uses and users through climate change adaptation and the conservation of freshwater biodiversity. Paani employs an integrated, whole-of-basin approach with activities under four “intermediate result” (IR) areas at the watershed, river basin, and national scales, to reduce threats to freshwater biodiversity and strengthen the resilience of targeted human and ecological communities in the Karnali, Mahakali, and Rapti river basins through improved water management. This will be accomplished through 11 strategic approaches and four intermediate results (each with several sub-IRs), and supporting activities.
