|
The Government of Japan has decided to extend financial assistance of 239,299 US Dollars; equivalent to approximately 23,791,106 Nepalese Rupees to AMDA Multisectoral and Integrated Development Services (AMDA-MINDS) under the Grant Assistance for Japanese NGO Projects Scheme. AMDA-MINDS is a NGO based in Japan, which will provide technical and financial support to partner agency, SAGUN Nepal, to implement the Project for Improvement of Living Condition in Kharpachok VDC.
A Grant Contract relating to this project was signed and exchanged on March 3 at the Embassy of Japan between His Excellency Mr. Masashi OGAWA, Ambassador of Japan to Nepal and Ms. Chiho MATSUMOTO, Country Director, AMDA-MINDS Nepal Office.
This grant assistance will be used to implement a project at Kharpachok VDC in Kavrepalanchok District, aiming for the improvement of people’s living conditions such as livelihood, water, and health and hygiene. The major elements of this project are:-
- Agriculture Livelihood Training
The project will provide agriculture training and material support to about 100
households which are food-deficient for more than six months in a year.
- Improvement of Water Facilities
The project will support the community to install water tanks and repair existing water
pipes in the most vulnerable clusters so as to secure water for both drinking and
agriculture.
- Health and Sanitation
To prevent and cope with local major infectious diseases such as diarrhea, the project
will provide training and hold community awareness events.
The Embassy of Japan expects that this project will enhance the cordial friendship between the peoples of Japan and Nepal.
