Nepal Adolescent Girls Employment Initiative Project

The development objective of the Adolescent Girls Employment Initiative Project is to increase employment and incomes of young women aged 16-24 years by strengthening an existing model for training and job placement in Nepal. The project includes the following components: (i) skills provision and job training (US$ 1,719,643); and (ii) institutional strengthening, monitoring and evaluation (US$ 150,974). 

The development objectives remain fully consistent with the World Bank's Interim Strategy Note (ISN) for Nepal. The project has been successful along several dimensions and is currently rated as satisfactory on both implementation progress and development objectives. Under component (skills provision and job training), progress includes completion of skills training to nearly 2500 beneficiaries over 2010 and 2011. Beneficiaries also have to appear for an independent skills test carried out by the National Skills Testing Board (NSTB) and nearly 90 percent of beneficiaries have successfully completed their skills test. Beneficiaries have also received optional additional packages on psychosocial training, awareness on reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, links to prospective employers, business and enterprise skills training, and links to credit schemes. 

In 2012, the project aims to train 2007 young women across 36 trades. The extension is necessary to correct a mistake made during project preparation where there is a discrepancy in the closing date between the project paper and the grant agreement where the former identifies closing date as December 31, 2011, while the latter identifies the closing date as December 31, 2012. There is a clear plan for completion of all project activities.

Nepal.Urban Governance and Development Program Project

The high rate of urbanization is exerting immense pressure on urban environment. The municipalities often do not have sufficient expertise and resources to deal with the rapid growth. With the enactment of the Local Self-Governance Act, 1999, municipalities have been given many responsibilities but there have not been adequate measures to enhance their capacities.

As a result, many cities are facing environmental problems such as inadequate basic physical infrastructure, solid waste management, air pollution, and wastewater management, and with continued growth, the problems of urban poverty and informal settlements are also growing. Municipalities also lack adequate financial resources to provide basic urban services.

This process is reshaping Nepal‘s economic and human geography. At the same time, Nepal wishes to strengthen the decentralization/devolution and local governance.

In the given context, the GON has requested the World Bank‘s assistance in the urban sector, particularly in secondary towns. GON is in the process of preparing Urban Governance and Development Program (UGDP) under the funding support from the World Bank. The program aims to build the capacity of selected municipalities to plan and implement basic infrastructure that will lead to increased economic opportunities and improved services for their residents.
