EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Building climate Resilience of Watersheds in Mountain Eco-Regions Project being implemented by the
Department of the Forests and Soil Conservation with grant assistance from Asian Development
Bank, Nordic Development Fund and Government of Nepal intends to improve access to and
reliability of water supplies to communities living in watershed vulnerable to the impacts of climate
change. The project has considered environment safeguard to address environmental issues of
subprojects implementation. The project has an environmental assessment review framework that
specifies subprojects selection procedures, subproject’s environment categorization, environment assessment procedure, community consultation, grievance redress mechanism and mechanism for
environment monitoring and reporting.
There are 108 SPPRs (Batch I-8, Batch II-20, batch II-40 and Batch IV-40) and all of them are category
C projects. The environmental safeguard requirements of GoN and ADB are satisfactorily addressed
in SPs planning and implementation stages. The project has adopted procedural requirements such as
environmental screening, SPs categorization, due diligence report inclusion, community consultation,
voluntary land donation documents during sub-project preparation report (SPPR) preparation and
approval process. No violations of local traditions and culture, no resettlement of indigenous people,
worker’s safety, avoidance of under aged workers, community consultations, slope stabilization,
minimizing trees cutting (if unavoidable), quarry site management, spoil management are considered
during implementation of SPs. The project has the provision an environment officer (a government
deputed soil conservation officer) and an intermittent input of senior environment specialist (SES) to
take care the safeguard issues of the project implementation.
Environment compliance status of the subprojects during January-June, 2020. Preparation of 108
DDRs and inclusion of 515 numbers of voluntary land donation documents were already completed.
About 378 subproject level meetings and 1077 ward level consultations were conducted during
planning stage. Quarry site management, burrow pit management, spoils management, soil erosion
and landslide control are adopted in SPs implementation. For 108 subprojects, aabout 302 m of brush
layering, 1965 m of check dam and 11230 m of live fencing were done till reporting period. Bamboos
are planted in an area of 121 ha for bio-engineering purpose to control erosion. To stabilize the land,
6357 units (2×1×1 m3 or 3×1×1 m3 per unit) of gabion wall are used to protect source water. It is
reported that 55,078 winter plantation, 261882 fruit trees and 2188353 fodder species, 455823
forestry species were planted in 108 SPs till June, 2020. Cultivation of 1893039 numbers of grasses is
reported. To increase the ground recharge, the SPs have also constructed 11230 recharge pits, 157
recharge ponds, 21 conservation ponds. No involuntary land acquisition, resettlement issues, social
conflicts, child labour were noticed during SPs implementation. No safeguard related grievance is
received till date.
The SPs have great environment benefits in terms of catchment management, ground water recharge,
surface water management, water source protection, land stabilization and erosion control. Caring
of planted trees, considering grazing alternatives, safety measures and coordination with other
government bodies should also be considered during implementation stage. Preparation of
environment safeguard guidelines, training on safeguard monitoring and reporting to project staffs
and preparation of environment code of practices should be considered during initial phase of the
project.

1. BACKGROUND
Building climate Resilience of Watersheds in Mountain Eco- Regions (BCRWME) Project being
implemented by the Department of the Forests and Soil Conservation (DFSC) with grant
assistance from ADB, Nordic Development Fund and Government of Nepal intends to improve
access to and reliability of water supplies to communities living in watershed vulnerable to the
impacts of climate change. Access and reliability to water resources will be improved through a
participatory program of integrated watershed management with interventions in upland areas to
increase surface water storage and ground water recharge. The project will support communities
to manage catchment areas for development and protection of their water sources (springs and
streams). This will include (i) protection of the area surrounding the water source and preparation
and implementation of the water source catchment management plans, (ii) treatment of gully
erosion and slope/landslide stabilization that threatens the water sources, water infrastructure,
and beneficiary communities (iii) construction of water collection chambers, spring boxes or
infiltration galleries; (iv) construction of water conservation ponds and storage for irrigation and
livestock, and (v) construction of drinking water storage tanks and tap stands. The project will also
provide participating communities with education and facilitate programs on water conservation
practices (including micro-irrigation), methods for maintaining soil moisture in agriculture, grazing
and fodder management, and ways to regenerate vegetative cover. A total of 108 sub-projects
under the project are being implemented in six districts of the Lower West Seti and Budhi Ganga
watersheds of the Far Western Province of Nepal.
As per Safeguard Policy Statement of ADB (2009), the BCRWME Project is classified as
environmental category “B” Project, the semiannual environmental monitoring report has been
prepared for the January to June, 2020.

2. ENVIRONMENT SAFEGUARD IN THE BCRWME PROJECT
The major objectives of the ADB on the environment are to incorporate environmental
component in development planning and integrate environmental safeguards across ADB
operations. The project has considered environmental component to address environmental
issues during SPs implementation. The project has an environmental assessment review
framework (EARF) that specifies sub-project (SP) selection procedures, SP’s environment categorization, environment assessment procedure, community consultation, grievance redress
mechanism, institutional arrangement for environment management. In order to address
environmental issues, the project has adopted/included formats of Rapid Environment
Assessment (REA) checklist and Environment Due Diligence Reports (DDRs) to be included
during Sub-project Preparation Report (SPPR) with compliance to both ADB’s and GoN’s environmental requirements. Environment is considered during selection of schemes, subprojects
and community actions, SPPRs preparation, approval of SPPRs by Feasibility Approval Committee
(FAC), agreement to Community Development Group (CDG) and SPs’ monitoring and reporting.
All SPs are screened for environmental impact and due diligence reports (DDRs) are prepared
and included in the SPPRs during planning stage. The project has the provision of Environment
Safeguard Desk and designated environment officers (EOs). To ensure the safeguard compliance,
the project has also the provision of intermittent inputs of senior environment specialist (SES) in
Project Management Implementation Consultants (PMIC) to train the project team and monitor
the quality of environmental screening reports, SPs categorization, due diligence reports and
environment management practice and preparing of semiannual environmental monitoring
reports along with biannual environment monitoring of SPs.
3. CONSTRUCTION APPROACH
The approach adopted a community-driven subproject ensuring a high level of public awareness
and their involvement in planning, implementation, operation, maintenance, protection and
benefit sharing of activities related to water access and reliability. The project applies the
community contract to execute, manage and supervise the SPs in close supervision and technical
guidelines from the PMU/PIU and PMIC. A Consultation, Participation and Communications Plan
(the CPC Plan) has been incorporated into project implementation guidelines. An Item rate
contract is adopted for civil works. Local materials for civil works such as boulder, sand, coarse
aggregates etc. were managed by the community as per requirement in the Bills of Quantities
(BOQs) of contract. Materials for civil works such as cement, steel bars, GI wire/ boxes, barbed
wire, HDP, GI pipes, pipe fittings etc. are procured by the PMU/PIU (earlier DSCO) from the
market/factory under the guidance and supervision of responsible PMIC technicians/engineers.
Similarly, material required for catchment restoration works are procured by concerned
PMU/PIU through standard ADB’s shopping methods and community contract is adopted in labor works only. Community participation/contribution is 20% of the catchment restoration works
(vegetative works).

4. OVERALL ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD STATUS
The environmental safeguard requirements of GoN and ADB are satisfactorily addressed in SPs
planning and implementation stages. The project had adopted procedural requirements such as
environmental screening, SPs categorization, DDR inclusion, community consultation, voluntary
land donation during SPPR preparation and approval process. The provision of catchment
restoration practices such as fodder/grass cultivation, trees plantation, recharge pit, conservation
pond, brush layering, check dam etc. were included in SPPRs. Similarly, the SPPRs had also
included the water source protection measures such slope and gullies stabilization etc.
There are 108 SPPRs (Batch I-8, Batch II-20, batch II-40 and Batch IV-40) and all of them are
category C projects. None of these SPs requires environment assessments (i.e. IEE and EIA). The
project itself is a climate resilient project; it has also included the environment management
related activities. The activities are performed to increase surface water storage, enhance soil
water and ground water recharge, stabilize slopes and gullies and reduce erosion. The project
has ensured that there are no violations of local traditions, culture and no resettlement of
indigenous people due to SP implementation. The project has considered the provision of
worker’s safety, avoidance of child labor, consent for utilizing water sources, slope stabilization
through engineering and bioengineering measures, quarry site, spoil and waste management.
No safeguard related grievance was reported during the reporting period of January to June,
2020. The project has prepared and adopted monitoring and reporting formats for safeguard
compliance monitoring. The project has strengthened environmental compliance monitoring and
reporting by structured formats, follow ups, feedbacks, orientations to the project team. The
SES, WME/WMA, EO, FTTs and CO/CS are involved in environment compliance monitoring.
The project has focused on quantitative information of environment aspects from civil work and
catchment restoration work such as conservation pond, recharge pit, cattle pond, irrigation pond,
tree loss, fruit trees plantation, grass/fodder cultivation, land stabilization, brush layering and
grievances etc. The project has also addressed the mission recommendations such as safeguard
training to CO/CS, GRC formation as per restructuring of local government, inclusion of
environment sections in other reports and environment component in PCR.
5. COMPLIANCE STATUS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS
There are 4 loan and grant covenants for environment safeguard specified for the project namely;
i. compliance with environment requirements, ii. human resource to implement safeguard
compliance, iii. provision of environment safeguard in bidding and contract documents, and iv.
safeguard related monitoring and reporting. For social safeguard, there are 3 loan and grant
covenants; namely i. voluntary land donation, ii. no involuntary resettlement of indigenous people
and iii. grievance redress mechanism1. Environmental and social safeguard covenants are
satisfactorily complied. (Refer Annex 2).
1 Formation of a project district level special committee for grievance redress were not accomplished due to restructuring of local bodies, however Rural/municipality level committees are existed to look after the projects including grievances
4
6. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT
Regarding to the institutional arrangement, the project has established PMU in Dadeldhura under
Department of Forests and Soil Conservation (DFSC). MoFE has appointed a Class-II officer from
the DFSC as a Project Director to head the PMU. The PMU is responsible for coordination,
monitoring and evaluation of the SPs including environment safeguard compliance monitoring.
The PMU comprises government deputed staffs, mid-level technician and team of consultants
(PMIC, NDF-1 and NDF-II)) to implement the SPs. Similarly, the project has also established
project implementation unit (PIU) in Achham along with team of PMIC to implement, monitor of
SPs and to supervise FTTs. The PIU has designated a soil conservation officer as an environment
officer (EO). To ensure the safeguard compliance during planning and implementation stages, the
project has the provision of intermittent inputs of SES in PMIC.
At SP level, community development groups (CDGs) is established to link users of each scheme.
A subproject implementation committee, comprised of the chairpersons of each CDG, will be
established for each SP. PMU/PIU (earlier DSCOs) have engaged one CO and two CSs to monitor
and supervise SP implementation. CO will assist the FTTs in community mobilization, organization
of the CDGs and interactions with the communities during source scheme verification,
implementation of the agreed measures, the post support (PS) for the catchment management
and O&M activities. The CSs will assist the FTTs with the day to day supervision of the
construction, bio-engineering and vegetative restoration works that will be implemented under
NCB works contracts or community contracts.
The SES and designated EO takes overall responsibility of environment management of the
project. The FTT supported by EO screens the SPs on the basis of environment and social criteria.
The EO will clear the REA screening and prepare the DDRs. The SES reviews the REAs and
DDRs to ensure that subprojects have been categorized accurately. Similarly, the SES will endorse
these DDRs during planning stage. WME under the support of PMU engineers, integrate
environment issues of DDRs in design and contract documents.
7. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING AND REPORTING MECHANISM
The CDGs Implement required environmental measures and EOs supervise implementation of
environmental measures during construction. The EOs will review the compliance status
prepared by them and forwards it to the SES. The SES supports capacity development of project
team of environmental planning, monitoring and reporting. Each PMU/PIU has a team of COs,
CSs, FTTs and watershed experts (WMA/WME) to monitor the SPs’ environmental compliance
status. The SES also prepares environmental monitoring report on the basis of biannual field visit.
The SES reviews and makes necessary recommendation and compiles them to incorporate in
quarterly, semiannual and annual report as per requirement.

8. COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD MEASURES
Compliance status of environmental safeguard measures of 108 SPs for both planning and
implementation stage is provided in Annex 1a and Annex 1b respectively (as prescribed formats
by ADB). Both qualitative and quantitative information on planning and implementation stages are
collected/updated by field team (CO/CS/FTT/WME/WMA), checked by environment officer and
sent to the senior environment specialist/PMU on biannual basis.
8.1 DURING PLANNING AND APPROVAL PHASE
The project has followed the ADB’s safeguard and the GoN’s procedural requirement during
planning stage. The planning stage safeguard indicators such as SP selection, environment
screening, environment categorization, DDR inclusion, government permits, community
consultation, GRC formation and environment related management activities are acquired from
approved SPPRs, PAM, EARF and contract document. Besides safeguard training, safeguard
indicators such as impact to indigenous people, voluntary land donation, water source utilization
and grievances are also considered in planning stage. Summary of planning stage safeguard
compliance status of the project is given in Table 1 and planning stage safeguard compliance

Indicators such as forest permission for catchment protection, land donation, impact to downstream users, ecologically sensitive area, cultural aspects and
indigenous people were assessed during SP selection. All the contracted SPs under the project were category “C” project and did not require EIA/IEE level
of assessment. As per PAM/EARF, the SPs under the project if not requiring an IEE study will be subjected to preparation of environment DDR.
8.1.2 Project Procedural Requirement
The project procedural requirements such as submission of voluntary land donation documents, community consultation minutes, environmental screening
of SPs and field verification by technical team were considered during SPPRs preparation. These SPPRs were reviewed by Feasibility Approval Committee
(FAC). The project procedural requirements were adopted for all 108 contracted SPs.

8.1.3 Rapid Environment Assessment and Due Diligence Report
For planning stage, all subprojects were screened for environmental impact, and due diligence
reports (DDRs) are prepared. The FTTs conducted REA; the staff designated as Environment
Officer checked each completed REA before it was finalized; DDRs were also prepared and
included in the all 108 SPPRs.
8.1.4 Environmental officers
Earlier, one of the DSCO’s staff had been designated as environment officer in Doti and
Dadeldhura. Due to restructuring of local bodies there is no existence of DSCO. Thus, the PIU
has appointed a soil conservation officer as an environment officer. The EO is responsible for
monitoring and reporting of environment safeguard and coordination with the SES.
8.1.5 Grievance redress mechanism and Environment safeguard desk
As per PAM/EARF, the project needs to form the grievance redress committee (GRC) for project
district level to document, redress and report of received grievances. No formal grievance
redress committee were formed due to restructuring of local bodies. However, a project level
environmental safeguard desk has been established in PMU Dadeldhura which also looks after
the grievances received. The project director/head of PIU are the main responsible persons to
redress the received grievances. Similarly, for SP level, Rural Municipality and CDG has jointly
formed a committee which is also responsible to redress the safeguard grievancess. Grievances
will be received verbally or written and will be resolved in both SP level and PMU level.
8.1.6 Community consultation and downstream users’ consent
The project has assessed the community consultation minutes for all SPPRs during evaluation.
Thus, all the contracted SPs have included community consultation minute. Besides few
suggestions, these minutes also include resource utilization consent from downstream users
committee. About 378 subproject level meetings and 1088 ward level consultations (n=108 SPs)
were conducted during planning stage.
8.1.7 Land Donation
The SPs require land for activities such as civil works and catchment protection measures. The
land is private, government/public or community owned. For each land acquisition, the SPs
require voluntary land donation paper. About 515 voluntary land donation papers were received.
8.1.8 Trainings
The senior environment specialist was responsible for training the environment officers and
project team. Immediately after orientation program conducted at PMU Dadeldhura, FTT were
given training on environmental issues and details of the data to be collected. The appointed COs
were also provided training about the environmental issues and their mitigation measures. It
seems that the safeguard training of the project team is inadequate.
8
8.1.8 Environment management related activities
The SPs have great environment benefits in terms of catchment management, ground water
recharge, surface water management, water source protection, land stabilization and erosion
control mechanism. Therefore, with an aim to manage and conserve watersheds, the
environmental benefits of the project outweigh minor adverse impacts incurred during
construction. These adverse impacts were also addressed during planning stage.
8.2 DURING IMPLEMENTATION STAGE
Besides monitoring of planning stage indicators, COs/CSs/FTTs of the respective districts use the
environment monitoring formats to collect the information on quarry site management, spoil
management, safety gears, grazing land, cut trees, trees plantation, grass cultivation, catchment
management, gully control measures, landslide protection measures, recharge pits, cattle ponds
and irrigation ponds. The safeguard issues observed by the expert during field visit are also
included in implementation stage safeguard status. Considering the issues and mitigation measures
as provided in EARF, and SPs specific issues during field visit, a summary of compliance status of
implementation stage is provided in Annex 1b.
Safeguard issues during implementation stage are satisfactorily complied. No quarry and burrow
pit area are located near to schemes or construction area. The majority of SPs’ civil structures are small-scale, extraction of sand, gravel and boulder is very low. The project has the provision
of re-grade the quarry sites. All the generated spoils from minor construction activities are
managed by SPs themselves such as backfilling. Excavated top soil is recommended for final
dressing of the sites. Waste generation is insignificant due to the nature of the SPs. Workers’ safety concern during construction is included in contract paper. However, the SP should make
the provision of protective gears like gloves, shoes, helmets etc. during construction. No grazing
practice is seen in the catchment protection area; however, the project should have the provision
of alternative grazing practice. Though no tree cutting issues are reported, the project should
have cleared vegetation during land preparation. The project has not received grievances
regarding to safeguards. Other statistical information is given in Table 2 below.
8.2.1 Quarry Site and Burrow Pit Management
The majority of SPs’ civil structures were small-scale, extraction of sand, gravel and boulder was
very low. Stones were used for gabion wall to protect source. An average 120 m3 of stone per
subproject is used for the gabion structures. These stones were collected with an approval of the
concerned municipality. During civil construction, all raw materials were collected from the
location specified by the designated engineers to avoid the issues of material transportation and
haphazard collection. As the project had the provision of re-grade the quarry sites, no adverse
impact due to quarrying and burrow pit was seen.
9
8.2.2 Excess Spoil and excavated top soil management
All the generated spoils from minor construction activities were managed by SPs themselves.
These spoils were used in back filling. As the top soil is very important, it is recommended to use
excavated top soil for final dressing of the sites and suggested to plant soil stabilizing shrubs to
prevent from erosion during rainfall.
8.2.3 Tree cutting and plantation
Although it was reported that no trees were cut, few trees might have been cleared by few SPs
during the land preparation for civil construction activities and recharge pit construction. The SPs
had provision of summer and winter trees plantation on both in private and public land which
includes fruit trees plantation, fodder trees plantation which has surely compensated these minor
numbers of cut trees. It is reported that 55078 winter plantation, 261882 fruit trees and 2188353
fodder species, 455823 forestry species were planted in 108 SPs till June, 2020. Besides restoring
upslope catchment, these plantations will help to generate income of community people, fodder
for animal. The SPs are recommended to care the planted trees until they grow. (Table 1).
8.2.4 Soil erosion and landslide control
Soil erosion and landslide issues occur during construction and land preparation for SPs’ activities.
Earthworks and trenching are generally done manually and concrete and cement masonry
structures erected using local skilled labour. Most aspects of the proposed works engage a limited
number of workers to lay piping, construct forms for reinforced concrete structures and prepare
ground for planting soil stabilizing grasses and shrubs. The project has recommended to plant
shrubs and grass on exposed slopes after construction. Thus, landslide and soil erosion issues
due to construction activities are not significant. The project has encouraged SPs to adopt
landslide stabilization, erosion control, gully area treatment and bioengineering practices. About
2469 m of brush layering, 1965 m of check dam and 11974 m of live fencing were done till
reporting period. Bamboos are planted in an area of 67.91 ha for bio-engineering purpose to
control erosion (Refer Table 2). To stabilize the land, the project has also adopted measures such
as gabion wall. 6357 units of gabion walls (Major) and masonry wall (minor) are used to protect
source water (Table 3). During the field visit, it came to know that few of the structures are
located in slope land which need to be stabilized to avoid possible damage to the structure.
8.2.5 Grazing land management
To prevent the possible damage of the catchment area, the project has the provision of
prohibiting animal grazing in catchment area. Few SPs have practiced grass/fodder cultivation.
Cultivation of 1893039 numbers of grasses in 122.93 ha of land is reported till the reporting
period (Table 2). Communities are encouraged to stall feeding by sufficient grass/fodder
cultivation. Rotational grazing and acceptable grazing area should be defined for grazing type’s alternatives.
10
8.2.6 Catchment management
The project has supported trees cultivation, grass cultivation for catchment improvement which
add the greenery as well. Brush layering, check dam and live fencing are adopted to protect
catchment area. To increase the ground recharge, the SPs have also constructed 11230 recharge
pits, 157 recharge ponds, 21 conservation ponds. (Table 2).
8.2.7 Water source protection
Water source is protected by considering the intake and protection wall around the source.
Prevention of gully erosion by check dams and gabion protection and source covering have helped
the water source protection. The trees around the water source are retained in water source
area.

8.2.8 Irrigation Pond and Cattle Ponds
Besides providing drinking water to the community, the project has also supported 498 irrigation
ponds, 90 cattle ponds which benefit community to grow vegetable and crops and cattle drinking
(Refer Table 2).
8.2.9 Impact in Forest
No civil work was done in forest land. It is also reported that no single tree was removed from
the forest area. During the catchment restoration in community forest, the SP has received the
permits from CFUG. The SPs and project should also coordinate with Division Forest Offices
(DFO) during such work.
11
8.2.10 Waste management and Environment sanitation
According to the nature of SPs, construction wastes are common which are managed later. There
are plastic covers, scrap of chocolates, tobacco and biscuits etc. seen around few taps stands, the
reservoir tank and ponds which needs to be cleaned. This issue should be considered during PS.
8.2.11 Downstream water use
Community consultations with downstream community and formation of CDG have mitigated
the potential social conflict. SPs have allocated budget for construction of intake, reservoir tank,
RVT, irrigation pond, cattle pond etc. Few SPs are provided budget for drip irrigation, sprinkle.
These infrastructures are also used by downstream community as well. Till reporting period, 378
subproject level consultations and 1077 ward level consultations were conducted.
8.2.12 Worker’s safety and Work Camp
The construction activities are minor in the SPs and most of the construction activities are
completed. Workers’ safety concern during construction is included in contract paper. The SP
should make the provision of protective gears like gloves, shoes, helmets etc. during construction.
It is suggested that safety gears and first aid box should be provisioned in on-going construction
activities or PS activities. The contract document also contains safe working place. Local people
with CDG are used, thus, provision of construction work camp is non-significant.
8.2.13 Land acquisition and impacts to indigenous people
As the project has the provision of voluntary land donation, no involuntary land acquisition issue
arises due to SPs implementation. No negative impact to the life of indigenous people was
reported yet. It is found that the indigenous people are also benefitted positively in terms of
employment and drinking water facilities.
8.2.14 Child labor
No child below 18 years is employed as a labour in any SP activity. The SPs’ contract documents
also include the prohibition of child labours in SP activities.
8.2.15 Employment and wage discrimination
No wage discrimination for women performing similar nature of work is reported yet. The
contract document has also assured the no wage discrimination.
8.2.16 Violation of laws and regulation of GoN
The project/SPs have followed the rules and regulation of GoN during their implementation.
12
8.2.17 Field Visits by project team and SES
All SPs of implementation stages have been visited by PMIC consultant, experts, PMU/PIU staffs
and technical persons. The project has helped in capacity building of the CDG members through
training and orientation program. However, the project should orient the community and CDG
members about the importance of catchment restoration work. During field visit, the watershed
management experts has also instructed the FTT, CO and CS about supervision of the
construction quality and maintaining the safe environmental condition there. Due to the COVID
pandemic, the SES could not conduct the biannual visit; the information was collected through
personal contacts to the field staffs. Meeting regarding to PCR and SEMR were shared to the
project team as well.
8.2.18 Safeguard Training to Project Team (COs/CSs/FTTs/Environment Officer)
No specific safeguard training was conducted separately, however few sessions of safeguard
related issues were delivered during the training of watershed management, catchment
restoration and GESI related activities. The project staffs were orientated during the joint visit
with SES.
8.2.19 Safeguard monitoring and reporting system
The SES has prepared and shared environment monitoring and reporting formats. The capacity
for environment monitoring and reporting of the project team should be enhanced. CSs have
also been instructed to monitor the environmental condition at site to gather the environmental
issues and have been instructed to fill up the checklist and forward it to the FTT and finally at
PMIC office to check the environmental issues and whether need to be addressed them.
8.2.20 Grievance redress mechanism
Subprojects have been implemented through the consensus of local people. During planning stage,
the SP will form the community development group and the concern of local people has been
taken in to consideration. Till June, 2020, no major environmental grievances were reported.
However, the PIU has received the grievances of inadequate monitoring by the project. No special
committee for resolving grievances was formed, however, Project Director and PIU head at
project level and Rural municipality ward with CDG at SP level are dealing with the grievances.
8.2.21 Replication of good practices
The project has supported recharge pits, conservation pond for catchment restoration works
which are also replicated by Rural Municipalities. Capacity enhancement of conservation ponds
by RM and Province Government are also reported during this reporting period.

9. CORRECTIVE ACTION AND RECOMMENDATION
As the project is in its completion phase and no more monitoring report needs to be prepared,
the recommendations could not be considered in next EMR. However, the lesson learned could
be apply in the similar project in future. The project should strengthen environmental monitoring
and reporting mechanism as provisioned in planning stage. Similarly, caring of planted trees,
considering grazing alternatives, safety measures and coordination with other government bodies
should also be considered during implementation stage. Preparation of environment safeguard
guidelines, training on safeguard to project staffs, preparation of environment code of practices
should be considered at the beginning.
Field visits should also include the safeguard monitoring and reporting mechanism as per
EARF/PAM. The project needs to include environmental safeguard information so that the project
could receive safeguard information in upcoming PCR.
