4th issue of Annual Report covering program and activities implemented in FY 2071/72 (2014/15) by High Mountain Agribusiness and Livelihood Improvement (HIMALI) Project is on your hand. The report also contains cumulative information on major activities carried out under all three components of the project during whole project period. In addition, attempt has also been made to introduce the project and inform the reader about project objectives and approaches the project has been taking in order to achieve these objectives.

The Mid Term Review of the project scheduled during last quarter of the fiscal year could not be completed due to devastating April, 2015 earthquake. The earthquake not only destroyed sub-projects in three project districts - Rasuwa, Dolakha and Solukhumbhu, but also halted project activities in other districts as well. The challenge we have been facing currently is processing of the large number of Business Plans which were submitted after notice of closure of receiving new Business Plan was published.

I have the privilege of leading the project for three consecutive years and I feel proud to let you know that the project in ADB rating has always remained 'on track'. We were honored as best performing project by ADB in 2014 and I look forward more such reorganizations in days to come also. I take this opportunity to thank the entire project team from center to district (including DPCs, consultants and PMU staff) who have been working hard to achieve this. My sincere thanks are also due to all the proponents who have expressed unconditional trust on the project.

I am thankful to past and present Secretaries of MoAD, who as Project Steering Committee (PSC) chairperson have guided the project to the present destination. I am also grateful to all the members of the PSC who have always been supportive to the project. Similarly, my thanks are also due to Technical Coordination Committee (TCC) chairpersons and all the members who have been kind enough to extend their personal and official support to the project. Guidance of both PSC and TCC have been very vital in the success of the project.

I also take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to the Country Director, Senior Program Officer responsible to the project and other ADB, NRM officials who have always supported the project and contributed greatly in bringing this project to present state.

I am thankful to entire PMU team for their contribution in project implementation in general and to Monitoring Expert Padma Bahadur Shakya and his team for preparing this report in particular.

We are always open to opinions and feedback from you all which will provide us opportunity to improve further. So, we look forward receiving your comments and suggestions.

Cumulative progress of AEC expenditure is reported as 46.2% against total allocated budget.

The Project status in all the ADB reviews has remained “on track” since beginning of its implementation. The figure below shows the trend of contract award and disbursement against ADB target for last four years.

Considering effective implementation of the activities, the ADB awarded HIMALI Project with “Exemplary Contribution to Portfolio Performance Award 2014”. The Project was honored on the Country Portfolio Review meeting held in Kathmandu on 18-19 January, 2015. HIMALI Project was selected as one of the four best projects among 44 ongoing ADB financed projects in Nepal in the year 2014.

A range of activities as briefly explained below, were carried out to achieve the progress mentioned above.

Project Promotion and Agribusiness Development

Social Mobilization activities

The Social Mobilization Team (SMT) including Social Mobilization Coordinator and Social Mobilizers, who were recruited in July, 2013, have performed several promotional activities like organizing community

level meetings, maping interest groups and motivating potential proponents to apply for HIMALI grants. As of 15 July 2015, the community meetings were attended by 7068 participants, of which almost half were women. The Social Mobilisation Team (SMT) has also identified 813 interest groups and facilitated women and dalits to apply for grants in HIMALI Project. Messages about HIMALI Project activities are being broadcasted through local FM radios, targeting potential producers and entrepreneurs in the Project districts and neighboring districts. A Jingle was produced and played in FM radios to promote and disseminate project information. The project information was also disseminated by distributing the project related leaflets and pamphlets. Similarly, print media was also used in project promotion. These activities have created interest among potential entrepreneurs and led them to make decision to apply for the HIMALI project grants.

AEC Activities on Mountain Agribusiness Development

Potential entrepreneurs interested in getting grants approached to DAES in the districts seeking their advice for preparing Business Plans. In this context District Agri-business Specialists (DAES) have rendered different advisory services. As of 15 July, 2015 the DAES provided technical advice to 6342 probable entrepreneurs (including 11.5% women), assisted 2319 proponents (including 15.5% women) in preparing Business Plans (BPs), and organized 45 Ilaka level workshops on business planning preparation. Altogether 2086 individuals of which 34% were women, participated in the workshops. Similarly, 48 value chain presentations were organized at Ilaka level. Those presentations were attended by 2019 individuals, of which 35% were women. Respective District Capacity Development Specialists (DCDS) and Project Management Unit (PMU) staff supported the workshops in several locations. Regional Agribusiness Planning Specialists (RAPS), the Package 1 and Package 2 Consulting teams, and the District Project for Coordinators (DPCs) have been continuously providing technical backstopping to the entrepreneurs in developing viable business plans. Equally important task performed by AEC/HIMALI team includes organizing District and Regional Trade Fairs to help the entrepreneurs develop business linkages. AEC so far has organized 11 district level and 8 regional level trade fairs.

xiii High Mountain Agribusiness and Livelihood Improvement (HIMALI) Project


Activities of District Project Coordinators and Project Management Unit

District Project Coordinators (DPCs) and the personnel from Project Management Unit (PMU) were involved in organizing orientation workshops initially but they have been focusing more on getting feedback and monitoring of ongoing Sub-projects in later years. Getting feedback from stakeholders is important to improve planning and effective implementation of ongoing Sub-projects in order to achieve project outputs. As of July 2015 the PMU jointly with DDCs has organized 26 one-day District Project Implementation Feedback workshops in project districts. Eight such workshops were organized in FY 2014/15 alone.

The project, based on the feedback received from the participants, developed the concept of training Local Resource Persons (LRPs) and involving them to assist entrepreneurs in developing Business Plans. So far, PMU has organized two lots of 9 days’ capacity building training to LRPs (20 in each lot) in order to enhance their capacity in developing BPs. The second LRP training was organized from 8 to 17 June, 2014 in Kathmandu. Similarly, two refresher trainings were also organized. LRP’s job is to help entrepreneurs and groups to prepare BPs. The trainings were technically facilitated by Agro-Enterprise Center, FNCCI, Nepal.

Grant Awarding and Processing of Business Plans

With the first awarding of grants on 30 June, 2013 the Project continued awarding grants to the proponents of 10 project districts in FY 2014/15 too. In FY 2014/15 the Project has signed grant agreement with 197 successful proponents with a total of 329 sub-projects till 15 July, 2015. The proposed investment in these 329 sub-projects is calculated as NRs 509.05 million. The majority of sub-projects have already begun implementing their activities. At the same time, two Grant Assessment Committees (GACs) evaluated 743 BPs out of 2442 BPs received. Twenty-four BPs have been sent back to respective proponents requesting additional information or clarification, while 236 BPs have been rejected.

Gender and Social Inclusion

Gender and Social Inclusion issues were taken into consideration while implementing the capacity

development activities. Of the 329 grant agreements, 66 (20.3%) are women owned. Similarly, out of 25 grant awarded cooperatives, 22 have mixed membership, and three are women run. In AEC conducted capacity development activities also women’s participation is recorded as 35.0% (18.4% Janajati, 1.6% Dalit and 14.9% B/C), while it is 35.4% (20% Janajati, 3.3% Dalit and 11.3% B/C and 0.8% others) in DPC conducted training and workshops. There is gender and DAG balance in SM Team itself as 30% of its member are is female and 35 % are Janajati in a team of 17 persons.

Environment

The environmental safeguard of GoN and ADB is satisfactorily addressed in sub-projects planning and implementation stages. The project has adopted procedural requirements such as environmental screening and review of environment assessment and management (EAM) checklist during the BP evaluation. Public consultation meeting minutes, land ownership papers, required agreement papers and approval/recommendation letters from local government bodies (i.e. DFO, DADO/DLSO, National Parks and Conservation Areas) are needed to be submitted and carefully assessed during BPs assessment process. The field verification also gives importance to environmental requirements. The project has started including simplified mandatory environmental management practice (environmental code of practice) into the grant agreement paper. Specific to sub-projects, environmental management practices has been included in 23 grant agreement. These are in accordance with the sub-project planning stage as recommended by IEE.

Specific Training to Grantees

In order to strengthen capacity of the entrepreneurs in managing their businesses, the project has developed and organized business management training to Grantees. Such trainings were organized in four districts namely Sankhuwasabha (30 March to 1 April, 2014), Jumla (10-11 April, 2014), Dolakha (11-13 May 2014) and Rasuwa (2-4 June, 2014). The major objective of the training was to emphasize on the need of record/book keeping at the sub-projects and maintaining records of revenue generated from it.

xiv High Mountain Agribusiness and Livelihood Improvement (HIMALI) Project


Similarly, the project also organized commodity specific technical trainings for grantees in Kathmandu and Pokhara. The area of training was pig farming (12 participants: 3 women and 9 men), Chiraito value chain analysis (21 participants) and trout fish farming (19 participants all men).

Observation Tour of Grantee Entrepreneurs

The project in the year 2071/72 organized a two days observation tour in Mustang for 19 project grantees. The team visited six sub-projects in operation, which include i) Sea buck thorn juice processing center of Muktinath-4, ii) Mustang Dairy Industry Marpha-8, iii) Syang Hybrid Cow farming, iv) ongoing building construction of Dhaulagiri Guru Syangmo Cheeze Industry, v) Ghasa Rainbow Trout, Lete-2, and vi) Marpha vegetable and fruit processing center. During visit participating grantees had opportunity to exchange their experiences with grantees of Mustang district.

Communication and Information Delivery

The website www.himali.gov.np has remained an effective means of communicating HIMALI Project related activities to different stakeholders, including proponents, media persons, and other interested readers. HIMALI quarterly news bulletin named "HIMALI Krishi Sandesh" is also being published since October 2013. In addition, a 5-day media trip was organized to Jumla by HIMALI Project from 3 to 7 June, 2015. Twelve media persons, 8 national and 4 local took part in the visit program. The media team observed ongoing HIMALI Sub-projects (Cow farming, Sheep farming, Handmade paper small scale industry, Herbal processing center and Milk chilling center) and DLSO building and office building of Horticulture research center Rajikot constructed under HIMALI Project budget.

The Project extended full cooperation to ADB Review Mission which was fielded to HIMALI Project from 14 to 23 December, 2014 and assessed overall implementation progress. The mission also visited sub-projects in Sankhuwasabha from 14 to 18 December and monitored agribusinesses being supported by the Project. A wrap-up meeting, chaired by the Secretary of Ministry of Agricultural Development (MoAD), was held on 23 December 2014. As of 19 December 2014, project performance was rated "on track" with both contract award and disbursement exceeding the e-OPS targets. The Mission noted that farmers being supported by the Project could benefit greatly from formal technical training and support in marketing. The Mission emphasized that, benefitting entrepreneurs should be the focus of the DPCs, DAESs and the SMT. the mission also emphasized on linking the grantees to the right training opportunities provided by various government agencies. The Mission stressed on the need for continuous monitoring by the HIMALl Project staff to help projects in marketing and guiding them to the right government offices or other service providers on technical aspects.

Monitoring visits

Several monitoring missions were undertaken by different officials to Project districts. Honorable Minister of Agriculture Mr Hari Prasad Parajuli traveled to Jumla from 6 to 9 Nov, 2015 to understand ongoing HIMALI Project activities in the district. He visited sub-projects namely Triveni Cow Farm, Radha Vegetable and Seed Industry, GSM Saffron Farming, and Himalayan Saffron Cultivation, Processing and Packaging Industry. He interacted with entrepreneurs of Sub-projects funded by HIMALI Project. In the district, honorable minister inaugurated newly constructed District Livestock Service office building constructed by the Project and one-day feedback workshop organized by PMU/DPC in Khalanga, Jumla.

Senior officials and consultants from HIMALI PMU and Regional Directors monitored district activates and assessed implementation status of sub-projects. Civil Engineer and Sub-engineers from HIMALI Project also

xvi High Mountain Agribusiness and Livelihood Improvement (HIMALI) Project


undertook several visits to sub-project sites in order to supervise ongoing infrastructural works.

Higher Studies

HIMALI Project has made available grants to 17 government staff (7 from Department of Livestock Services, 9 from Department of Agriculture and 1 from Department of Food Technology and Quality Control) under MoAD to pursue higher studies in universities in Nepal.

Effect of Earthquake on Sub-projects

The devastating earthquake on 25 April and 12 May, 2015 have caused damages worth NRs 22 million to Sub-projects mainly in Dolakha, Rasuwa and Solukhumbu districts. Thus, the earthquake has disturbed sub-project activities during third quarter of FY 2014/15. The earthquake has led to delay in completion of sub-projects and submission of bills by the grantees resulting in low disbursement.

Revenue and Employment Generation

As of 15 July, 2015 the 80 sub-projects in operation in 10 districts are estimated to have generated NRs 58.43 million (USD 0.679 million). Similarly, 466 persons were employed in these sub-projects. The type of sub-projects that have come in production and started generating income include - vegetable, handmade paper, rainbow trout fish, goat and sheep farming, dairy farming, fruit nurseries, sea buck thorn and bakery etc. While majority of the sub-projects are under construction.

Conclusion

HIMALI Project has completed fourth year of its implementation and the progress achieved till date is satisfactory. As of 15 July, 2015 the Project has maintained its “on track” status it has been maintaining since beginning. Taking effective implementation of Project activities in consideration, the ADB awarded HIMALI Project with “Exemplary Contribution to Portfolio Performance Award, 2014”. The Project was honored on Country Portfolio Review meeting held on 18 to 19 January 2015. HIMALI Project was selected for honor among 44 ongoing ADB funded Projects in 2014.

The Project has received large number of BPs during 35 days submission notice of 1 March, 2015. Altogether 2442 BPs have been received by the PMU and 329 sub-projects so far have been awarded grants. The Grant Assessment Committees (GACs) have reviewed 743 Business Plans. The Project will continue evaluating the remaining BPs and search for additional fund to finance potential BPs not accommodated by currently available budget. Most of the construction works planned under component 2 has been completed, software part which includes training, study tours, workshops, capacity building of HIMALI staff at centre and districts have also been fully implemented as per the Project document. Procurement of goods and services also is almost near completion.

The Project, in FY 2014/15 has achieved 96% and 46% progress in physical and financial targets respectively. This low and unbalanced financial progress was mainly because of delay in the part of grantees in completing works and submitting bills. The devastating earthquake of 25 April, 2015 also hampered the project activities and damaged 72 sub-projects mainly in Dolakha, Rasuwa and Solukhumbu districts. Initial assessment shows damages worth NRs 22 million in these 72 sub-projects.

The Project still needs to work hard to achieve set targets. The major problem so far has been under spending of Agribusiness Development fund as the sub-projects do not complete activities as planned and are late in requesting grant reimbursement. Out of 10.598 million US Dollar provisioned for this purpose only 28.5% has been spent so far.

HIMALI team at PMU has been under constant pressure and has been trying to process the BPs faster. In the reporting period the government staffs as well as the consultants have been involved in verification and approval of BPs. More efforts are being put on monitoring activities of the sub-projects. The Social Mobilization Team now on will work as District Monitoring Team and will focus mainly on monitoring, providing technical backstopping and reporting to PMU. It is a matter of satisfaction to all the staff and stakeholders that the Project is progressing satisfactorily.

1 High Mountain Agribusiness and Livelihood Improvement (HIMALI) Project


1.1 Background

1. The High Mountain Agribusiness and Livelihood Improvement (HIMALI) Project being implemented by the Ministry of Agricultural Development (MoAD) intends to increase income and employment of high mountain people through value chain development of their niche agricultural, livestock and MAPs/NTF products. The Project was approved on 25 March 2011. The Project is estimated to cost $30.23 million with $20.0 million financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) as a grant. The grant and project agreements were signed on 27 June 20111 and the grant was declared effective on 26 September 2011. The Project is scheduled to be closed by 31 October 2017.

2. The Project assists farmers and downstream businesses to strengthen business linkages. The project also aims at taking advantage of the gradual improvement in infrastructure in order to create demand and increase supply of niche mountain products. A demand driven approach has been used in provision of support for quality improvement, value adding and product aggregation. The project has been working to help private sector agribusiness develop in high mountain districts. Project grants is being provided to eligible entities for implementing viable agribusiness plans that are likely to create income and employment benefits in the project districts.

3. The Project has three major components namely; 1) Mountain Agribusiness Development 2) Value Chain Capacity Development 3) Project Management

1.2 Project Impact, Outcome and Outputs

4. The project impact will be increased incomes in the project districts. The outcome of the Project will be mountain agribusinesses are commercially viable in selected high mountain districts. The Project is expected to result in (i) an additional $20 million gross production value per year; (ii) 7,500 jobs created by participating enterprises; and (iii) participating business enterprises achieving a rate of return on investment of no less than 15% per annum by 2017.

Similarly, the three Project outputs envisaged are: (i) an increased number of mountain agribusinesses making use of agribusiness grants; (ii) mountain agribusinesses have knowledge and access to improved production technologies and value addition; and (iii) effective project management at central and district levels.

1 A separate project agreement is signed between the ADB and the Agro-Enterprise Centre of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industries to provide business advisory support to the Project.

1.3 Project Implementation Arrangements

5. The MOAD is the executing agency (EA). Project Management Unit (PMU) led by a Joint Secretary of the Department of Livestock Services, and supported by the team of consultants is responsible for project implementation along with the Agro-Enterprise Center of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, which is responsible for providing business advisory services.



Fig 2: Project Districts

6. The PMU is responsible for overall implementation of both components 1 and 2, and coordination, monitoring and evaluation of the project. For each of the 10 districts, the MoAD has assigned the Senior Officer of DLSO or DADO as District Project Coordinator (Annex 1) depending on the predominant value chains and program profile. DLS/DoA Regional Directorates of four regions (Mid-western, Western, Central and Eastern) have been assigned limited responsibilities for their coordination in training and technical services, monitoring and evaluation, reporting, in addition to line agency functions between center and district.

7. The consulting firm, Agri-food Consulting International (ACI), through its Package 1 Consultants including International TL/ Implementation Specialist and National Team Leader a re responsible for assisting the Project Director and other Government PMU officers in implementing the Project according to the Project Agreement. The PMU consultants supervise the District Social Mobilization Team and coordinate with Agro-Enterprise Center. District Social Mobilization Team is responsible to carry out communication, social mobilization, identifying interest groups, networking at district level, monitoring and evaluation for effective project implementation. Package 2 Consultants (also hired by ACI) including International TL/Capacity Development provided capacity development training and support during first one and half year to AEC, district Social Mobilization team and DLSO & DADO staff to effectively mobilize and deliver agribusiness development services to beneficiaries.

8. AEC is the implementing partner of the project and main responsible agency for High Mountain Agribusiness Development Component. AEC is responsible for implementation of the first component of the project Mountain Agribusiness Development with about 71 % of the total project budget. AEC operates through district based 10 DAES one each in the project districts and supported by four Regional Agribusiness Planning Specialists based in four regions. The AEC in the center is led by a Team leader who looks after management aspects.

1.4 ProjectDistricts,PrioritizedCommoditiesandBeneficiaries

1.4.1. Project Districts 9. Based on existing agricultural products, the growth potentiality and possibility of value chain

development by linking production to downstream agribusinesses and markets, the Project is implemented in 10 districts namely Sankhuwasabha and Solukumbu in eastern region, Dolkha and Rasuwa in central region, Manang and Mustang in western region and Dolpa, Jumla, Mugu and Humla in mid-western region (Fig 2.)



10. The altitude of the project districts varies from 400 meters (Sankhuwasabha) to 8848 masl (Solukhumbu) providing varied geophysical and climatic conditions suitable for production of different niche commodities and products. The statistical information on HIMALI Project districts are presented in Annex 2. The project districts have advantages in certain traditional and high-value products including wool, yak cheese, hand made paper, seeds, off-season vegetables, fruits, dairy, meat, and medicinal and aromatic plant products. Mugu, Humla, Dolpa, Jumla and Rasuwa districts are ranked lowest in terms of Human Development Index (HDI) where as Solukhumbu, Dolakha, Manag, Sankhuwasabha and Mustang are found to be relatively better off.

1.4.2 Prioritized Commodities

11. Out of total 43 identified commodities the HIMALI Project has prioritized them under agriculture, livestock and medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) commodities and products for each district based on their potentiality of production, processing and marketing in and outside the project district (Table 1.1). The commodities and products produced and processed in and above 2000 masl are considered as priority commodities for funding and given high weightage in awarding grant, while the commodities from below 2000 m are in second priority.

1.4.3.ProjectBeneficiaries

12. Direct Beneficiaries: Agribusiness grants eligible enterprises, individuals, groups and associations, community forestry and rangeland enterprises, cooperatives and agribusiness, located in the project districts are the beneficiaries of the project. In addition, agribusinesses based outside the project area, but having linkages with high mountain producers through contract farming, supply and marketing agreements, can also benefit from the project. The project during its life aims to support establishment and expansion of about 700 agribusiness. A total of 7500 full time jobs are expected to be created by participating enterprises; and $6.4 million is projected as wages by 2017.



13. Indirect Beneficiaries: Poor and disadvantaged groups will, mostly benefit indirectly through labor and contract farming, and often in the longer term, i.e. after demand and services have improved due to the initial intervention.

1.5 Grants Categories

14. The amount of grants to be awarded depends on the nature and location of the business and amount of investment proposed. If the business plan is based on commodities produced and processed in and above 2000 masl the grant could be up to 80% for the investment upto US$ 50,000, otherwise the proportion of funding may decrease to 50% as indicated in Table 1.2.

1.6 Business Plan Processing, Grant Awarding and Release of Installments

15. After conducting promotional activities to make potential proponents aware of the HIMALI project grant provisions by Social Mobilization Team (SMT), the PMU invited through public notice for the business plans (BPs) from potential proponents. The proponents were required to submit supporting documents and argue how the business can increase income, generate employment and improve livelihood of the local people. Fig 3 shows the steps of business plan processing from submission of proposal to signing of grant-agreements.

Fig 3: Steps of Business Plan Processing



16. The interested eligible, cooperative, firms, companies and entrepreneurs develop concept of preparing Business Plans (BPs) in consultation with concerned technical line agencies. District Agro-enterprise Specialists (DAES) and Social Mobilization Team (SMT) in the districts assist proponents in preparation of the business plans.

17. DAES collects business plans prepared by the proponents as per guidelines of the project and then pre-screened them at the district. Then the DAES forwarded screened BPs to PMU through DPCs for final evaluation and grant awarding. The BPs of only those organizations which were registered under Government of Nepal authorities (Companies, Cooperatives, Societies, Partnerships and Sole Proprietors) were considered for grant award. However, grant applicants were not required to provide evidence of business registration during grant application itself. For applicants who had submitted grant applications without registration, the GAC reviews and make recommendations on a conditional basis, requiring the proponent to complete necessary registrations prior to signing grant agreement.

18. At the center, the Grant Assessment Committee (GAC) evaluates the business plans using pre-approved criteria. The GAC is comprised of the experts of Business Development, Financial Management, and Environment and Social Safeguard. There are two GACs in PMU to evaluate the BPs. Once GAC recommends for approval, the verification team either from district or PMU will be mobilized for field verification. Based on the recommendation of field verification team the BP will be finally approved or rejected. Once the business plan is approved the proponents are informed and invited for agreement.

19. Activity implementation plan (work plan), amount of grants and pattern of grants release (installments) are decided during signing of agreement to enable proponent carry out the activities smoothly to achieve the objectives of the business plan. The expected outputs and revenue generation are also readjusted accordingly. As per financial rule of the HIMALI project the proponent will have to spend his/her share of minimum 20% of the approved total investment first in the agribusiness. Then only the proponent can request for the first installment reimbursement. The PMU releases 80% of the amount in agreed installment(s) through transferring the amount in the account of the organization concerned. In order to get the installment reimbursed, the proponent will have to submit a progress report indicating activities undertaken as per implementation plan agreed and submitted. PMU will seek certification of DPC or PMU staff indicating completion of the claimed activity/ies.

1.7 Monitoring and Reporting 20. Project Monitoring Mission, RDs, DPCs, AEC and SMTs regularly monitor implementation of the sub-

projects. Similarly, the Project activities are also monitored by the Ministry, Departments and ADB.

The district level staff (DPC and SMT) send their activity progress to PMU every month. The PMU receives progress report of DAES through AEC.

21. At sub-project level, every grantee is require to maintain daily records of expenditure incurred for purchasing inputs, expenditures on construction, outputs produced and revenue generated. For this purpose, the project provides formats designed specially to record expenditure and income from the sub-project. The sub-projects need to submit two copies of progresses made in sub-project covering the period of three months in a reporting format (Annexes 3a, 3b, 3c)) to DPC in the district. The reporting time is the end of the months: Ashwin (Mid-October), Poush (Mid-January), Chaitra (Mid-April), and Ashad (Mid-July). The progress is assessed against the target activities mentioned in implementation



plan as well as impact indicators such as quantity of output produced, revenue generated, number of employment created and amount of wage paid to the regular and seasonal workers. The project provides orientation to grantees during agreements either at the center or in the districts on proper filling of reporting formats. After receiving the progress report from sub-project, the DPCs forwards one copy of progress report to PMU/M & E section.

22. The Service providers (DPC, DAES and SMT) as well as staff/Consultants use same reporting formats while monitoring the sub-project activities in the districts.



23. Under Component 1, the Project is to assist farmer groups, private agribusiness, and agricultural value chain service enterprises in developing and implementing viable and sustainable business plans in the Project districts. The component has allocation of 71% of total project budget. The activities performed under this component include project promotion and communication, mobilization and identification of interest groups, advice, and encouraging and assisting them in preparing Business Plans.

2.1 Communication,SocialMobilizationandIdentificationofInterestGroups

2.1.1. Communication and Information Delivery

24. HIMALI Project has been making its best effort to communicate ongoing HIMALI Project activities to all stakeholders and general public. HIMALI Project has developed its own website www.himali.gov.np. The website has been an effective means of communicating HIMALI Project activities to different target audiences, including project proponents, journalists, different stakeholders and others who are interested. The content of the website includes components of the project, recent news, publications, business plan status, Sub-project profile, photo and video gallery, and column for feedback from the readers. The website is updated regularly.

25. Provision of collecting grievances regarding project, its entities and activities has been incorporated in the website and a separate email address "[email protected]" has been created with the vision of making it easy for the public in raising grievance. The project has updated introductory brochures, norms and directives of agribusiness grants and activities of HIMALI project, and eligibility criteria for applying grants and procedures.

26. The project started broadcasting message on HIMALI Project activities through local FM radios from February 2014. Messages targeting potential producers and entrepreneurs were also broadcasted through Ujyalo FM Radios for about a month. Later a jingle containing project’s message is also prepared. The jingle is being played through local FM radios for disseminating HIMALI message. Nine out of 10 districts (except Manang) have broadcasted message on agribusiness grant through the jingle. In addition, an especial jingle of 140-second-long is also developed for Karnali region in Deuda. Number of visits by potential proponents to DPC/DAES/SMT at district head quarter has increased significantly after broadcasting from local FM radios. Content of message changed after March 1, 2015 when a large number of business plans were received in PMU. Messages then covered asking entrepreneurs to implement their sub-project effectively on time.

2.1.2.SocialMobilizationandIdentificationofInterestGroup

27. A. Social Mobilization Team: Originally project had provision of recruiting district NGOs for under taking social mobilization activities in the districts. Later decision was made to change the implementing arrangement and separate Social Mobilization Teams (SMTs) were recruited for each district. This Delayed the social mobilization activities initially. SMTs consist of one Social Mobilization Coordinator (SMC), one Social Mobilizer (SM) and one Office Assistant. Initially SMT were first recruited for Dolakha, Mustang and Jumla in July, 2013 and then for Sankhuwasabha, Solukhumbu, Rasuwa, Manang, Dolpa, Mugu and Humla in September 2013. Project started its activities from February 2012 while SMT joined the project nearly one and half year later. SMT promoted project by creating awareness among the stakeholders and have been working under supervision of DPCs in the districts.

28. B. Community Meetings: Social Mobilization Team (SMT) have made field visits and organized community meetings of potential groups and individuals including women and DAG. They disseminated information mainly on the project provisions and grant application procedures. Participation of various social groups in project activities during reporting period is given in Table 2.1 Participation of women in community meetings is reported to be about 50%, although their representation is less in other activities.

29. The SMTs have been suggested to target more women so that there will be at least 60% women participation in community level meetings in the project information dissemination activities. The higher participation of women in communication meetings is expected to help increase women participation in agribusiness grants application.

30. Promotional activities were stopped following discontinuation of receiving BPs by the project effective from March 1, 2015. The role of SMTs has also been changed to monitoring of sub-projects in the districts.

31. C. Identification of Interested Groups: SMTs identified 813 interest groups in the project districts during reporting period (Table 2.2). They have been using the Interested Group Mapping (IGM) to find out potential and interested proponents for agribusiness grant applications.

2.2 AEC Activities: Agribusiness Planning and Business Plan Development

A. Service Delivery

32. AEC team, which is responsible for providing assistance to potential proponents in prepare agri-business plans, and guiding forward and backward market linkages has carried out several activities ranging from Business Advisory Contacts to organizing Trade Fairs in FY 2013/14 and 2014/15 (Table 2.3).

*Figures in parenthesis are participants

B. Advisory Contacts

33. Under Business advisory contact DAES responds to the queries of potential proponents about requirements of BP preparation, criteria that need to be followed by the applicants, ceiling of HIMALI grants, and time frame of BP submission. Business Advisory service makes potential proponents aware of provisions in HIMALI project and helps develop confidence to prepare BPs and apply for the grants. The number of individuals, who visited AEC district office for consultation in FY 2013/14 and 2014/15 is 6342 of which 11.49% are women.

C. Enterprises Assisted in Formulation of Business Plans

34. As a result of the promotional activities in the districts, several interested and potential farmer groups and entrepreneurs have approached DAESs for guidance in preparing business plans. Altogether 2319 entrepreneurs were assisted in preparation of business plans in 10 districts in FY 2013/14 and 2014/15. The entrepreneurs who had received assistance include 84.47 % male and 15.53% female.

35. DAES have assisted proponents to prepare content of BP and made them understand about production plan, marketing plan, management plan, financial plan and business development plan as outlined in BP preparation guideline. During the course of BP preparation, the proponents were found to have difficulties in preparing production plan, which needs good knowledge of technical parameters. Technical plan being basic for quality and viable BP, those, who have prepared production plan with correct technical parameters, have been able to prepare other plans correctly. Thus, wrong technical plan is found to have implications in other plans as well. Naturally due to lack of formal education the potential proponents have faced difficulty in preparing financial plan but prepared that with external assistance. The DCDS provided hands on guidance to the DAES to review and provide comments on business plans.



D. Workshops on Business Planning and Presentation

36. Another important event that took place in the district is business planning and presentations workshops. DAES in FY 2013/14 and 2014/15 organized a total of 45 Business Planning and Presentation workshops. A total of 2086 individuals participated in these workshops, of which 33.74% were female. In the workshops participants were introduced to provisions available in HIMALI project and briefed on requirements while preparing BPs. Important part of the workshop was that the proponents themselves in groups prepared sample BP on different commodities like agriculture, livestock and MAPs. The exercise of preparing BP and presentation has made them understand on what BP is and how it should be prepared. Participants were found to be relatively more active in district level workshops than in Ilaka level workshop. The workshop is found to be more effective at district level as SMSs related to Agriculture Livestock, Cottage and Small Scale Industry, and MAPs/NTFPs were present there and helped the participants in BP preparation.

E. Workshop on Value Chain Analysis and Presentation.

37. A total of 48 Workshops on Value Chain Analysis and Presentation were organized in HIMALI Project district. A total of 2019 participants have participated in these workshops, of which 34.62% are female. The workshops tried to make the proponents aware of value chain actors, value adding activities and linkage of producers with downstream entrepreneurs. HIMALI staff, including consultants, made presentations citing one prioritized commodity as an example. Participants were found to be relatively more attentive and active in district level workshops, than in Ilaka level ones.

F. Trade Fairs

38. During reporting period AEC organized a total of 11 District level Agribusiness trade fairs. A total of 7027 individuals are estimated to have observed the exhibition. The Trade Fairs were organized with objectives of creating awareness among producers and entrepreneurs on services provided by AEC/HIMALI project through display of quality agriculture, livestock, and MAPs products. These fairs have helped to promote local commodities and promotion of local agribusiness. During the fairs, information on HIMALI project working modalities and project prioritized commodities were disseminated. District Trade Fairs have worked as a platform to bring producers and buyers in one place and to decide in advance on quantity and price of the commodities to be supplied later. Similarly, a total of eight Regional Level Agribusiness Trade Fairs were organized.

G. Prescreening and Forwarding of Sub-projects

39. The DAES in the districts faced difficulty in convincing the people residing in mountain area to develop business plans by introducing concept of value chain and value addition due to their low awareness level. The proponents in the project districts faced problem in preparing BPs especially in absence of technical experts. Rules and regulation of national parks and conservation areas are found to hinder the promotion of high value (niche) products based enterprises in highly potential areas of Dolakha and Sankhuwasabha districts. In spite of all these difficulties DAES in 10 districts have been able to prescreen 1145 BPs in the first lot (before 1 March, 2015) and additional 1297 BPs in the second lot, and forward 2442 BPs to PMU. The district staff had very hard time in prescreening the Agribusiness proposals of second lot.

H. Progress of AEC Physical and Financial Activities

40. Physical Progress: The physical progress of AEC was calculated as 70% against the target set for FY 2014/15. Calculation of progress percentage is based on the progress reported by AEC on the activities and target mentioned in the PAM. Low progress in FY 2014/15 is due to discontinuation of activities on Value Chain Presentations, Business Plan Presentation and Trade fairs after March 1, 2015. Due to large number of BPs received in PMU the Project took decision to stop promotional activities in the field. Table 2.4 shows the physical progress of AEC activities from FY 2011/12 to 2014/15.

2.3 DPC Activities: Project Promotion and Agribusiness Planning

A. Program Orientation and Implementation Feedback Workshop

42. Informing to stakeholders/grantees and getting feedback from them on HIMALI Project activities is necessary to improve planning of program/activities for succeeding years. Project Management Unit jointly with DPCs has been organizing two days long Feedback workshops in the districts every year. However the objectives have differed slightly as project progressed. In FY 2011/12 PMU organized District Orientation workshops in 10 Project districts with objective of informing local stakeholders about initiation of HIMALI Project and its implementation process. In the following year, DPCs in association with PMU, organized two days District Project Implementation and Feedback Workshops in all project districts except Dolpa. This time objectives were to share the status of project implementation in general and ongoing district level activities in particular. The workshop was utilized to collect feedback from stakeholders of different level on working modality. Similar workshops organized in FY 2013/14 emphasized on need of effective implementation of HIMALI activities in the districts. In the workshops, the entrepreneurs presented progress status of their respective sub-projects focusing particularly on ongoing activities including revenue generation.

Project Implementation Feedback Workshop, Manang Feedback Workshop Sankhuwasabha



43. In FY 2014/15 the workshops were organized in 8 districts (except in Humla and Solukhumbu) to get feedback on ongoing sub-projects. The entrepreneurs presented progress status of their respective sub-projects, including financial aspects. At the same time the information was collected on revenue generation, persons employed and wages paid. Grantees in the districts were provided formats and points to be covered during their presentation. The number of Feedback Workshops conducted during last four years at districts is presented in Table 2.6.

2.4. PMU Activities: Project Promotion and Agribusiness Planning

A. Project Inception Workshop

45. PMU organized Project Inception workshop in Kathmandu on 26 March, 2012 to orient central level stakeholders on HIMALI project. The project Director, HIMALI made a power point presentation and clarified the issues and queries raised on working modality of the project. The workshop was attended by representatives from MOAC, DOA, DLS, various Technical Directorates under DOA and DLS, FNCCI, Regional Agriculture Directorate, Regional Livestock Services Directorate, DADO and DLSO, different NGOs, INGOs, NARC, Watershed Management, Reporters etc.



B. Central Level Feedback Workshop

46. A half day workshop was organized to get feedback from the beneficiaries and other stakeholders involved in the project implementation on 30 June, 2013 in Kathmandu. Altogether 90 participants including 7 women participated in the workshop. The participants were divided into 4 sub-groups and each group discussed on the topics i) Strengths/positive aspects of HIMALI Project ii) Difficulties and constraints in implementation and iii) Measures to mitigate problems and presented their findings HIMALI Capacity Development Team facilitated group works. As per group recommendations i) the Steering Committee need to play proactive role to bring effective coordination among line agencies, ii) implement capacity building training to DPC, SMT, DADO, DLSO, DFO staff, and iii) Processing of BPs need to make by hiring second GAC.

C. Training of Local Resource Persons

47. PMU organized 9 day's orientation training (Lot 2) for newly selected 20 LRPs from 8 to 17 June, 2014 and 3 days’ refresher training in Kathmandu. A similar training was organized for Lot 1 LRPs in April 2013. The concept of Local Resource Persons (LRPs) was developed by HIMALI Project in order to facilitate potential agribusiness proponents in preparing quality business plan at district level itself. The potential 20 LRPs (two persons from each district) were selected by AEC in consultation with respective DCCI. The training was technically facilitated by AEC, FNCCI Nepal.

External experts were also invited to facilitate technical aspects related to proposal development. Twenty participants from 10 districts actively participated and gained knowledge on developing business plan. After the training the LRPs worked as independent service providers to potential proponents in project districts. They helped prepare sound and viable BPs for potential proponents. LRPs are neither HIMALI staff nor ACI pays them; rather they are the individual independent service providers. The LRP’s jobs has been to help farmers, farmer groups and individual entrepreneurs in preparation of BPs, for which the LRP charge the proponent an agreed fee within limit fixed by DCCI. With the proposals written by them, quite a number of proponents prepared competitive plans and received HIMALI Project grants for their agribusiness. Provision of LRPs was very much helpful to the proponents in preparing business plans. However, it is found that more than half of the LRPs from lot 1 did not continue their job making it necessary to train additional 20 LRPs of lot 2 (Table 2.7). Their activities stopped when the project stopped receiving Business plan after March 1, 2015.

D. Workshop Linking Bankers and Agribusiness Entrepreneurs

48. In order to improve linkages among entrepreneurs, banks, and the projects, ADB organized a workshop with bankers' association on 10 June 2014 in Kathmandu. HIMALI Project staff and ACI consultants contributed in organizing the workshop and participated actively in the discussions. The objectives of the workshop were: i) To introduce HIMALI-RISMFP to the Bankers/Finance Providers and agribusiness entrepreneurs in Nepal; ii) To explore ways to finance larger subprojects involving agribusiness entrepreneurs and farmer groups (investment > 20 million NRs), and iii) To facilitate access of potential agribusiness investors to different sources of funds (grants, equity, and credit).The workshop was attended by 108 participants including Bankers, Finance Service Providers, HIMALI and RISMFP Project Staff, Agribusiness Entrepreneurs, Nepal Government officials and donors.

49. The workshop has been successful in introducing the HIMALI project to the bankers and entrepreneurs and facilitated networking among these actors and the project staff. The workshop also has been successful in identifying some investment ideas for large sub-projects. It is important to realize that the role of the grants in the projects is to reduce the risk of investors in a sector that is still largely underdeveloped. By providing grants, ADB and GoN effectively reduce the risk to entrepreneurs and bankers. Moreover, technical assistance is also provided to the entrepreneurs who again facilitate investment and lower the risks of investment. This indicates a strong role for partnerships between government, private agribusiness sector, and banking/financial sector.

2.5 Gender Equity and Social Inclusion

50. As stated in the project administration manual (PAM) the GESI plan concerns the participation of/and benefit for women and disadvantaged groups (DAGs). The project has its Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI) Plan to guide the project activities on gender and social inclusion. PAM defines disadvantaged groups for the project as Dalits, indigenous people in general and the marginal households without land or access to irrigation. Women are considered to be included when referring to disadvantaged groups in general, but are mentioned separately where different from other disadvantaged categories. Social mobilization teams (SMTs) in the project districts have developed annual work plans based on the GESI plan of the project.

51. Of the 329 contracted proposals 66 (20.3%) are women owned. Similarly, out of 25 cooperatives contracted for agribusiness, 22 are mixed farmer/cooperative groups, and three are women run cooperatives. In AEC conducted capacity development activities women’s participation is found to be 35.0%, (18.4% Janajati, 1.6% Dalit and 14.9% B/C), while in DPC conducted training and workshops 35.4% were women (20% Janajati, 3.3% Dalit and 11.3% B/C and 0.8% others). There is gender and DAG balanced SM Team as 30% is female and 35 % is Janajati in the whole team of 17 persons. The progress of the GESI plan in detail is presented in Annex 4.

Linking Bankers and Agribusiness Entrepreneurs Workshop



2.6 Environmental Management

52. The environmental safeguard of GoN and ADB is satisfactorily addressed in sub-projects planning and implementation stages. The project has adopted procedural requirements such as environmental screening and review of environment assessment and management (EAM) checklist during business plans evaluation. Public consultation meeting minute, land ownership paper, required agreement papers and approval/recommendation letters from local government bodies (i.e. DFO, DADO/DLSO, National Parks and Conservation Areas) are also carefully assessed during BPs approval process. The field verification has also been conducted for additional information and environmental assessment requirements. The project has also started including simplified environmental management practice (environmental code of practice) into the sub-projects agreement paper. Specific to sub-projects, environmental management practice has been included to 23 sub-projects contract documents. These are as accordance with the sub-project planning stage as recommended by IEE.

53. The project has considered grazing/pasture land management, forage and hay production, additional tree plantation, promotion of MAPs/NTFPs cultivation, compensatory trees plantation, promotion of organic farming, balance use of recommended pesticides, use of personal protective wares, use of alternative source of energy for drying/boiling/cooking and improved methods, participation of women, local people, dalits, indigenous and deprived communities. No violations of local traditions, culture and indigenous people, promotion of local labor, avoidance of under aged workers, written consent for utilizing common resources, slope stabilization through engineering and bioengineering measures, minimizing trees cutting (if unavoidable), adoption of balance cut & fills, provision of first aid kit, spoil management and construction of compost pits, soak pits, septic tanks are being considered during implementation of sub-projects.

54. The project has also established grievance handling mechanism in district project coordinator offices of all districts. The documentation and reporting of grievances received and addressed is in progress. Training on environmental monitoring and reporting has been conducted to the district monitoring team (SM, SMC, DAES). Now the project has started receiving environmental monitoring reports from districts. As the project has received all business plans before the approval of IEE, the HIMALI project is unable to use the amended checklist recommended by IEE during business plan submission. However, project has prepared monitoring guideline with monitoring checklists by incorporating screening questionnaires of amended checklist. Environment due diligence report are also suggested for 14 medium and large agribusiness which are in progress. The project is now focused on strengthening environmental compliance monitoring and reporting by structured checklists, guidelines, reporting formats, follow ups, feedbacks, orientations and training to the district team.

2.7 Capacity Development of Grantees

67. Before entering into grant agreement with proponents, the Project perform prescreens the BP at district level, evaluates by GAC at center level and does field verification of proposed BP in the field. These activities are briefly discussed below.

3.1.2 Prescreening of Business Plan at District

68. Prescreening of BPs is performed in the district to check whether the BP contains required documents for Agribusiness Grant application as per HIMALI Project guidelines. Past experiences have shown that a number of Business Plans lacked one or more evidences of land ownership, bank account detail and so on. Similarly, the BPs are also found lacking proper production plan, backward and forward linkages, marketing plan, financial plan and environmental plan. Complete Business Plans after prescreening is forwarded to center for further evaluation.

3.2 Grant Assessment Committee

69. Two independent Grant Assessment Committees (GAC) were engaged in evaluation of BPs received in the PMU. Each GAC consists of 5 members lead by Project Director and members including Grant Coordinator from the Project and three other experts namely Business Development Expert, Financial Management Expert, and Social Safeguards and Environment Expert. Two GACs were fully functional during reporting period. One hundred thirty-seven Grants Assessment Committee meetings (95 GAC1 and 42 GAC2) were held as of 15 July, 2015 and the GACs have evaluated 585 Business Plans (Table 3.4).

3.3 Support of Technical Experts to GAC

70. Due to limited technical knowledge of GAC members in many areas of agriculture, livestock and forestry sector, assistance of technical experts was sought. The GAC members felt that technical aspects of the business plans evaluated first would help GAC members make quicker and correct evaluation of BPs. Thus the project has prepared a roster of the specialists in different fields to seek their help while evaluating the technical aspects of the business plans whenever needed. The GAC is getting support of technical experts on different fields ranging from yak husbandry to kiwi nursery establishment and Jadibuti processing. The services of technical experts began since July, 2013. As of July 2015, 37 Technical experts rendered their services in 30 different commodity areas as indicted in Table 3.5.

3.4BusinessPlansunderModification

71. Based on the evaluation of Business Plans, the GAC team in the past has asked proponents for additional information that are lacking or asked to modify the Business Plans. As of 15 July, 2015 24 proposals/ Business Plans are sent back to the proponents for revision or modification. Under modification the proponents in general are asked justification on civil works proposed, machinery and equipment demanded; realistic production coefficients; competitive pricing plan and marketing plan; more descriptive Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) plan; source of the applicants' equity contribution; indicative estimates or quotations for the assets to be purchased or constructed; evidence of land ownership, evidence of consultative meetings; clear Business Plans and Financial Plans etc. After receiving additional information, the BPs are again checked by GAC team.

3.5Fieldverification

72 . Field verification is undertaken for GAC recommended BPs to assess the reality in the field (Fig 1). Field verification is required in order to examine critically and understand the businesses so that appropriate decision could be made regarding the grant award. In general, the field verification focuses mainly on availability and suitability of land resources for the business proposed in the BPs. In addition, environmental, social, financial and technical factors important for feasibility and sustainability of the sub-project are also verified. A total of 128 BPs were at the stage of field verification as of 15 July, 2015

4.2 Improved Breed, Varieties and Seed Production

a) Improved Yak from Imported Yak and Nak

76. Yaks are economically important animals in the high mountains of Nepal. Yaks are used to produce Chauris which are the source of milk to produce much appreciated yak cheese in the high mountain regions. Besides this, yaks and its crosses are used as pack animals. Hairs and wool from yak is also used to produce local garments. After hard efforts of three consecutive years by the MoAD, the project could import 5 Yaks and 25 Naks from Tibet Autonomous Region of China on 12 July, 2014. Mr Bhesh Bahadur Ghimire, Livestock Technician at Yak Development Farm, Syangboche, Solukhumbu received yaks and naks from the Chinese officials at the Nepal China border. It took 7 days to take the animals to Zonglakharka where animals from the Yak Development Farm, Syangboche are grazed during summer. Those yaks and naks were gradually moved down to the farm in the month of November 2014.

77. Twenty naks have given birth to 20 calves (13 males and 7 female) till June, 2015. Out of these 20, seven 3 months old male caves were sold to local farmers of Shayngboche VDC of Solukhumbu at the rate of NRs. 2,000 each. The farm will keep two males and seven female offspring. The farm officials have reported that they have advised the farmers to grow male offspring to adult and use them for breeding purpose.

the study tour were to i) study the animal production and value chain development of animal products in highlands of Bhutan; ii) observe and study the research and development updates of livestock development; iii) visit field and interact with farmers involved in livestock production and its value chain development; and iv) study marketing system in livestock products value chain.

Major observations

• In livestock sector development Bhutan has a total of 224 field units to provide services to the farmers. All the services are free of cost including artificial insemination. Subsidies are provided in some input/infrastructure support.

• Individual farmer gets free services; group members or cooperatives get infrastructure support in shade making, irrigation pipes and canals, etc.

• In district level, there is District Livestock Office and Veterinary Hospital lead by a Veterinary officer. Sub-centers are led by Para- veterinary staffs.

• National Center for Animal health, after a long effort, has established a BSL Lab, one of the important labs in South Asia.

• Soft cheese is found to be very common livestock product in Bhutan. They use it in vegetable curry. Another important observation was they use to drink "Mohi" instead of cold drinks and it is found available along roads and dense settlement of urban and semi urban areas.

• National Dog Population Management Project is on implementation. Mass Rabies Vaccination (6178 Numbers i.e.75.5%) program, seems very successful to manage the dog population in Bhutan.

• Bhutan is using "JIBATU" technology from Nepal in organic research programs. In Renewable Natural Resources Centers. NRNC of Wangdue reported that they are producing Walnut grafted plants in lower altitude of about 1200 mt for the high mountain plantation and it is successful up to 90 percentages. They have good results in Apple, Apricot and Peach.

• National River and Lake Fisheries Center is working in the research and development of Brown and Rainbow trout. They have brown trout in their own and bought rainbow trout from Kashmir, India. They also import trout feed from Kashmir.

• They started School Agriculture Program to attract the young generation in Agriculture.

B. Study Tour to Kashmir, India

Key learning of the study tour which could be applicable in Nepalese situation are:

a. Model of farmer cooperatives where production is done by members while the cooperatives play role in input procurement and marketing of the produce.

b. Commercialization of dairy, vegetable and agro-tourism sector by renting public land to farm families.

c. A new model of research and development in dairy sector where the research center maintains no animals but encourages and supports farming in private sector and conducts research in participatory way.

d. For promotion of Agro-tourism Ba Vi homestead programs are organized in which tourist can observe or practice the followings:

• Rice planting or harvesting as per season.• Vegetable farming.• Fishing in fish ponds• Other farm activities.

e. Effectiveness of sexed semen use which will be helpful in making decision in planned import and use of sexed semen in Nepal.

f. Partnership of industry in agriculture research and marketing of research findings through a separate company promoted by research institutes.

Performance of rainbow trout is better in Vietnam than in Nepal mainly due to i) Vietnamese government’s policy regarding renting out public land for agriculture purpose; and ii) Viet GAP in practice there.

6.1 Preparatory Works for Monitoring HIMALI Project Activities

PreparationinPMUandDistrictoffices

99. As per requirement of Project Administrative Manual (PAM) the Project established and maintained Project Performance Management System (PMAS) by developing Monitoring and Evaluation Manual 2012. The document contains formats required to report HIMALI project activities from the project districts. M& E Specialist (International Consultant) with support from M & Expert (National Consultant) developed the manual. The manual was prepared considering the targets of impact indicators and outputs (DMF) of HIMALI project and formats based on planned activities carried out by DPC, SMT and DAES in the project districts. The service providers (DPC, DAES and SMT) were asked to report progress monthly and tri-monthly depending upon nature of activities.

100. In order to fasten reporting a web based software system was developed and brought into use. The system requires recording of events by the service providers as it happens. The software also had provisions to summarize information district wise and as per time/date as required. The software, although is functional, reporting through software has been irregular due to irregular availability of network in remote project districts.

101. Sub-projects in the districts started generating revenues/output value from FY 2013/14. The M & E Specialist (International Consultant) prepared a note emphasising need of recording progress on impact indicators (revenue, employment and wages paid) of each sub-project. Accordingly, Agribusiness Diary is developed and distributed to grantees for proper record keeping on expenditure, employment and revenue generation. Similarly, Sub-project reporting formats are developed and provided to district staff for use during monitoring of Sub-projects in the field and to grantees for reporting quarterly progress.

Getting Grantees Ready to Implement Sub-project

Briefing to Grantees 102. Once proponents sign grant agreement with the

project, they are briefed on reporting requirement of HIMALI projects. PMU/ M&E Section staff collects background information from the grantees in order to understand them more closely. Collected background information include family information, education level, past and ongoing working experiences, technical and account related

Chapter

Briefing to the grantee on progress reporting



training, reason of getting involved in proposed agribusiness. They are also asked about their clarity on working calendar they have proposed and agreed. Assessment is also made on sources of inputs, their availability, expected output, employment (regular and seasonal), expected wages to be paid, price of output, market and marketing approach, and revenue generation. This discussion is expected to benefit grantees in making them ready to start sub-project and guide them to implement the sub-project more effectively.

103. They are briefed on method of filling reporting formats to be submitted during quarterly progress reporting to the project. Every grantee is provided with Agribusiness Diary, in which the grantee has to record information on daily expenditure, revenue generated, persons employed etc. They are also asked to keep record of installment received from HIMALI Project.

Recording and Reporting Progress

104. District staffs (DPC, SMT, and DAES) forward their progress of activities in prescribed formats in monthly and quarterly basis. However, progress on impact indicators (revenue, employment data and wages record etc.) are to be recorded every time the sub-projects are monitored in Summary Revenue formats prepared for each district and each sub-project. Cumulative figure of progress is forwarded to PMU, AEC every three month i.e. first week of October, January, April and July as quarterly report so that the information could be processed timely and report them to ADB, Department of Livestock Department Services and MOAD.

6.2 ADB Review Mission

105. ADB Review Mission was fielded to HIMALI Project and districts from 14 to 23 December 2014.The Mission assessed (i) overall implementation progress; (ii) contract award and disbursement achievements in 2014, and projections for 2015; (iii) examined status of grant applications received by the Project, their nature, and value chain linkages; and (iv) reviewed safeguard compliance and progress towards the gender action plan.

The Mission also visited sub-projects in Sankhuwasabha from 14 to 18 December, 2014 to monitor agribusinesses being supported by the project. A wrap-up meeting, chaired by the Secretary of the Ministry of Agricultural Development (M0AD), was held on 23 December, 2014. As of 19 December, 2014 project performance is rated "on track" with both contract award and disbursement exceeding the e-OPS targets.

106. The Mission noted that farmers being supported by the Project could benefit greatly from formal technical training and support in marketing. In the coming days, benefitting entrepreneurs need to be the focus of the DPC, DAES, and the social mobilizers, ensuring that farmers are linked to the right training opportunities provided by various government agencies, or by exploring training opportunities through the private sector through PPP agreements. The budget allocated to AEC for project awareness activities need to from henceforth, be utilized for marketing and technical backstopping. It was also suggested that agribusiness promotional exhibitions be held in Kathmandu to show case best practices,

ADB Mission, Sankhuwasabha



and that project impacts be documented and promoted via the social media. Short documentaries could also be uploaded on the internet to show best practices and impact stories.

107. The Mission also stressed on the need for continuous monitoring by the HIMALI project staff to help farmers in marketing and guiding them to the right government offices or other service providers on technical aspects. The Mission also took of note weak ownership and support from other public sector agencies on technical aspects. Hence, handholding support to farmers from the DPC, DAES and the social mobilization team will be critical in ensuring the sustainability of HIMALI grant investments.

6.3MonitoringbySeniorGovernmentOfficials108. Field visits play an important role in promoting the project, communicating with local officials and

meeting first hand with potential proponents. They help in developing better support from local government institutions. Those institutions have a wealth of technical knowledge that can be put to good use in developing sound BPs. In addition, the monitors will have better knowledge on the ongoing sub-projects in their status.

Agriculture Minister visits to HIMALI Sub-projects in Jumla

109. In context with monitoring of different Project activities under MoAD honorable Minister of Agriculture Mr Hari Prasad Parajuli traveled to Jumla from 7 to 9 November, 2015 to observe ongoing HIMALI Project activities in the district. He visited Triveni Cow Farm, Radha Vegetable and Seed Industry, GSM Saffron Farming, and Himalayan Saffron Cultivation, Processing and Packaging Industry. He also interacted with entrepreneurs of Sub-projects funded by HIMALI Project. During his stay in Jumla honorable minister inaugurated newly constructed District Livestock Service office building funded by the Project and one-day Feedback workshop organized by PMU/DPC.

6.4 Monitoring by Centre Level HIMALI Project Staff and Consultants

110. As in previous years several monitoring missions were undertaken by the HIMALI Project staff and Consultants to project districts in FY 2014/15 as presented in Table 6.1

111. One or more PMU staff (PD, TL International, TL National, M & E Expert, M & E Officer, Senior Program officers) and AEC Team Leader undertook monitoring visits to Project districts and districts of regional headquarters during reporting period. The monitoring trips were useful to understand the activities carried out in sub-projects, involvement of district level HIMALI staff, and maintain coordination among stakeholders.

Monitoring of Ongoing Construction of Infrastructural Works

112. In addition to checking of detail estimate of infrastructures proposed by the proponent in their agribusiness plan, Civil Engineer and Sub-engineer from HIMALI project have undertaken several monitoring visits to project districts to supervise ongoing civil works. The monitoring has benefitted the grantees in the following way.

• In Sub-projects checking of detail estimate of infrastructures proposed by the proponent in the agribusiness plan before signing agreement ensures realistic project cost, which is the most vital factor in completion of any project and success of the proposed business.

• Installment disbursement based on the physical progress of the project after field measurement and verification accelerates the project as per the schedule and can precede the business smoothly and quickly.

• Monitoring of infrastructures under construction makes proponents to be honest in executing the agreed contract as per proposed design, specification and estimate.

• Necessary advice on technical matters facilitates them to execute the project with the quality.• Technical monitoring conveys positive message to the community also that the proponent cannot get grant

money without actual execution of the committed project and complying agreed terms and conditions.• In government Office infrastructure works: By technical monitoring on infrastructures make contractors to be

obliged in executing the agreed contract as per signed contract, design, specification and estimate.• Necessary advice on technical matters like total bill of quantities, items of work, quality materials, workmanship

etc. is given which helps both contractors and the clients to execute the project.

Environmental Monitoring

113. Environment expert travelled to Manang (16 to 19 April, 2015) and Mustang (3 to 8 July, 2015) districts and visited 16 Sub-projects with the help of structured checklists for environmental compliance monitoring. Potential environmental and social issues related to Agro-manang apple farm and rainbow trout farming sub-projects of Manang district was monitored. Major issues of trees clearance by Agro-manang sub-project was compensated by planting apple plants and additional plantation. For the Rainbow Trout Farming, no social issue such as water resource use has been raised.

114. Environment expert also visited Tora (sea-buck thorn) juice, vegetables, dairy, cow farming fruit processing and trout sub-projects of Mustang. Expert pointed out the sub-project specific impacts and suggested mitigation measures in visited Sub-projects. Mitigation measures such as compensatory plantation, grass cultivation, waste management and approval for resource use were recommended to the sub-projects. Besides monitoring adopted mitigation measures for the impact caused by sub projects, field visit had also strengthened grantees to identify possible mitigation measures for issues not identified during BPs sub-mission. In both visits the Environmental expert had also participated in feedback workshops.

7.1 Direct Loss from Earthquake

115. Nepal experienced devastating earthquake on 25 April, 2015 and subsequent big aftershocks on 26 April and 12 May, 2015. They impacted HIMALI Project significantly, damaging 74 agribusiness Sub-projects supported by the Project and causing widespread damage to infrastructure of MOAD research stations and field offices mainly in two districts Dolakha and Rasuwa.

116. The project has gathered information on damages soon after the earthquake through DPCs (District Project Coordinators), DAES (District Agro Enterprise Specialists) and SMCs (Social Mobilization Coordinator) in the districts. In some cases, proponents themselves also reported the damages. Some proponents sent the damage information in writing. The project deputed two assessment teams to Dolakha and Rasuwa to make the actual assessment of the damages.

117. Two assessment teams deputed from the project found different degree of damages in animal sheds, factories and store buildings in Dolakha and Rasuwa. In some cases, these facilities had minor cracks, while in many cases there was complete destruction. The assessment teams also found that in case of the damaged buildings, materials like stones, woods and zinc sheets can be reused in repair and reconstruction of the building. In addition to civil works the earthquake also destroyed equipment, feed and killed livestock and fish. Property loss of NRs 21.98 million (Table 7.1) has been estimated. However, the figure may increase due to further damaged in already damaged infrastructure due to minor socks.

118. The losses are calculated on the basis of death of animals, rainbow trout fish and loss/damage of equipment. In case of civil works damage loss is calculated by assuming that the stones, woods and roofing materials can be reused in repair and reconstruction. Loss of NRs 21.91 million is only the direct one.

119 Findings of the Initial Assessment Report on Earthquake Damage were presented and discussed in the Project Technical and Coordination Committee (TCC) meeting Chaired by Director General of Department of Agriculture on 5 July, 2015. Similar presentation was made in the Project Steering Committee (PSC) meeting Chaired by Secretary of Ministry of Agricultural Development, on 6 July, 2015. Both of these committees have agreed to support repair and reconstruct damaged sub-projects. So, the project as directed by the PSC and with approval from the ADB has prepared the procedure and plan of actions for reconstruction and rehabilitation of sub-projects to bring them in normal operation.

120. Besides these, most of the entrepreneurs have lost their houses. Ms. Chhiring Sangbo, a rainbow trout entrepreneur from Rasuwa, was injured by earthquake and was airlifted to Kathmandu. She had multiple fractures in her right leg. She got treatment in different hospitals in Kathmandu. Now she is discharged but has to take complete rest and remain under medical supervision for about another three months.

7.2 Indirect loss from Earthquake

121. The earthquake has led or likely to lead to indirect losses in the following forms. No estimation is made in monetary term for those losses.

• Abortion in animals

122. Proponents have reported abortions in dairy cattle, chauris, goats and pigs. Farmers will lose one production cycle in terms milk and meat production from these animals which will be substantial to the proponents.

• Rebuilding of the animal herd

123. Several animals died due to earthquake.Taking in account of the wider effects of earthquake, such as, destruction of proponents’ owns residential houses, loss of stored food grains, immediate problem of

Fig. Damaged Sub-project on handmade paper (ma-chine), Dolakha

Fig. Damaged Sub-project on Rainbow Trout (raceway), Rasuwa



shelter for people and animals, difficulties due to monsoon rain, unavailability/uncertainty of animal sources for procurement, it might take about 6 to 9 months to rebuild the animal herd to the original. This will also push back the production by about a year.

• Restoration of the trout production

124. There is massive damage in raceways, fingerlings and fish hatchery. Proponents stock the fingerlings in February/March in their raceways. So, fingerlings were stocked just about a month before the deadly earthquake. Raceways need to be repaired/reconstructed before the next cycle of restocking. The next cycle will start in February/March of 2016. So, rainbow trout entrepreneurs have lost one complete cycle of production.

• Loss in production, quality and marketing of the products

125. Cheese production factories, stores and equipment are destroyed. So, cheese production was stopped. Cheese factories could not buy milk from Chauri farmers. So, Chauri farmers’ income was also affected. Cheese stores were damaged which affected the quality of cheese. Cheese market in Kathmandu was down due to earthquake. So, cheese producers could not sell their product. Sometime cheese was sold in half of the normal price due to store problem. So, cheese sector lost their products as well as market.

• Loss in revenue

126. Production process is affected particularly in livestock related and rainbow trout Sub-projects due to destruction of sheds and raceways, death of livestock and fish and abortion in animals. So livestock and fish production, and revenue generation is pushed back by about a year in affected sub-projects.

• Rehabilitation of the damaged Sub-projects

127. HIMALI Project has agreed to support 62, 34 and 15 -s in Dolakha, Rasuwa and Solukhumbu respectively till 23 April, 2015 which was just two days before the first devastating earthquake. Total investment in these 3 districts to implement these Sub-projects is NRs.209.4 million. Investment of Project and proponents in these 3 districts is NRs151.42 and 58.09 million respectively. Project has reimbursed NRs. 66.94 million just before the earthquake. Many of the damaged Sub-projects may not come into production if they are not supported from the project and some others may be very slow in recovery. In such case, both the grant from project and investment from the proponents will be in risk. So, Project should support the damaged Sub-projects in their reconstruction and rehabilitation. Project support should be in procurement of the animals, repair/ reconstruction of animal sheds, factories and fish raceways, and procurement of equipment.



8.1 Revenue Generation

128. Number of Sub-projects implemented under HIMALI project has reached to 329 as of 15 July 2015. Some Sub-projects started generating revenues from year 2014, while majority of the Sub-projects are under establishment. The project gathered information on Impact Indicators i.e. amount of rev-enue generated, employment created and wages paid on quarterly basis through district level staff or directly from the proponents. As of 15 July, 2015, the 64 Sub-projects in 10 districts are estimated to have generated NRs 584, 33,645. Table 8.1 presents district wise distribution of revenue generated and employment created. The table also shows that Mustang district has relatively higher average cumula-tive revenue generation (Rs 31,21,283) per Sub-project followed by Sub-projects in Solukhumbu and Dolakha districts.

10.1 Progress Against Annual Targets

136. In FY 2014/15 HIMALI Project (PMU) and AEC have achieved physical progress of 96 % and 74% respectively against approved program. Similaryl, its financial prgress is recouded as 46% in total

Annual Physical Progress

137. Average annual physical progress of 96% is estimated based on the progress made by Project Management Unit (95.8%), eight Livestock and Agriculture Regional Directorates (97%) and 10 District Project Coordinators (100%). The PMU, the Regional Directorate of Livestock Services and Agriculture, and DPCs (from DLSO and DADO offices) implemented the government approved HIMALI Project activities for FY 2014/15.

138. Annual physical progress of HIMALI project shows increasing trend from FY 2011/12 (year 1) to FY 2014/15 (year 4). Year one of project implementation had limitation of project staff which ultimately hampered program implementation. Year 2 and Year 3 have been fruitful year in term of progress made. Procurement, construction of infrastructures, and grant awarding have been major activities in those years. In fourth year the project gave emphasis in awarding grants to more number of Sub-projects, their effective implementation and monitoring in the field. However, the devastating earthquake occurred in 25 April and 12 May, 2015 has damaged sub-projects mainly in Dolakha, Rasuwa and Solukhumbu districts. The earthquake disturbed sub-project activities during third quarter of the year.

Annual Financial Progress

139. Fig 5 shows the trend of annual budget allocation and expenditure of HIMALI project from FY 2011/12 to FY 2014/15. The financial expenditure of HIMALI Project is estimated as NRs 350 million (46%) for the FY 2014/15 against annual allocated budget of NRs 776.74 million. Similarly, the annual financial progress for FY 2011/12, FY 2012/13 and FY 2013/14 was reported in order of 24.1%, 85.4% and 64.4%. The trend of expenditure is consistent with the trend of physical progress achieved.

140. Low financial expenditure in Year 1 of project implementation can be attributed to more preparatory works under taken and failure to award grants for sub-projects. The rate of expenditure increased in year 2 because of payment made to construction works in the districts and procurement of goods and services. FY 2013/14 has been the year for awarding grants to successful proponents and undertaking of construction works in Government Resource Centers and Research Farms. In fourth year the payment to Sub-project was delayed due to late submission of bills by the grantees and also because of earthquake which disturbed Sub-project activities in the districts.

10.2 Progress Against Project Targets

141. PMU based on overall HIMALI Project implementation plan (PAM, 2011), has prepared the table (Annex 21) and set targets component wise and quarterly wise for entire project period. There is provision of rooms in the format to fill out quarterly progress against set targets. Once the progress reports are received from PMU, RDs, DPC as well as AEC, the M & E Section records the progresses thus achieved in quarterly column of the table and also added to cumulative figure of previous quarter to produce latest cumulative figure. Thus the table gives the picture on where HIMALI project stands in terms of overall physical progress as of that quarter of the year.

Overall Physical Progress

142. Overall physical progress in FY 2014/15 has been computed as 16.8% against the project target of 100%. Fig 7 shows the increasing trend of overall physical progress from 4.1% in year 1 to 16.8% in year 4 of project implementation. The cumulative progress as of 15 July 2015 is calculated as 64.6% (Annex 21).

143. HIMALI project has three major components namely Agribusiness development, Value chain capacity development and Project management. The first component carries 71% weightage in term of budget allocation and thus has range of district level activities carried out. Similarly, component 2 and Component 3 have the budget provision of 11.70 % and 17.2 % respectively. Breakdown of physical progress component wise is presented in Table 10.1.

10.3 Contract Awarded and Disbursement

146. ADB sets quarterly target of Contract Award and Disbursement every year and assess the progress made by organizing Quarterly Progress Review Meeting (QCPR) Sector wise. The table 10.3 presents the progress on disbursement and Contract Awards of HIMALI Project. As of 15 July, 2015 the progress of 57.35% was achieved in contract award and 44.39% in Disbursement while compared with ADB grants of USD 20 million (Table 10.3).

147. HIMALI is a six-year project being implemented in Nepal with support of the ADB since September 2011. As of 15 July, 2015 the project has always remained remained “on “track” in all reviews of ADB. Considering effective implementation of project activities, ADB awarded HIMALI Project with “Exemplary Contribution to Portfolio Performance Award 2014”. The Project was honored at Country Portfolio Review meeting held on 18 to 19 January, 2015. HIMALI Project was selected for the award out of 44 ongoing ADB financed projects in 2014.

10.4 Agreed Priority Actions and Progress

148. ADB Review Mission which was fielded to HIMALI Project from 14 to 23 December, 2014 has assessed overall project implementation progress. The Mission also visited sub-projects in Sankhuwasabha from 14-18 December to monitor agribusinesses being supported by the project. A wrap-up meeting, chaired by the Secretary of the Ministry of Agricultural Development was held on 23 December 2014. As of 19 December 2014, project performance was rated "on track" with both contract award and disbursement exceeding the e-OPS targets. The Mission noted that farmers being supported by the Project could benefit greatly from formal technical training and support in marketing. In the coming days, benefitting entrepreneurs needs to be the focus of the DPC, DAES, and the social mobilizers, ensuring that farmers are linked to the right training opportunities provided by various government agencies. The Mission stressed on the need for continuous monitoring by the HIMALl project staff to help farmers in marketing and guiding them to the right government offices or other service providers on technical aspects.

Output 3. Effective project management at central and district levels operational

3.1 Establish central PMU and appoint district coordinators by May 2011.

3.2 Establish PPMS in all 10 districts from June to

September 2011.

3.3 PMU disburses and monitors agribusiness grants from September 2011 to July 2016 and achieves grant disbursement rates according to schedule in 1.2 above.

3.3 Ongoing

10.6. Compliance with Project Specific Loan Covenants

150. Regarding Project Specific Covenants (Grant Agreement, Section 4.04), most of the Covenants are being implied, however the project have so far complied with three Covenants namely PPMS, Grievance handling mechanism and Fielding of consultants as indicated in Annex 22.



11.1 Large Number of Business Plans

151. As of 15 July 2015, the Project has received a total of 2,442 business plans seeking grants. Of these, 1145 proposals were received before the 35-day notice (1 March, 2015) announcing closer of registra-tion of new proposals. A total of 1,297 BPs were received during 35 days period of the notice. Out of the 743 BPs reviewed, 329 have been contracted, 128 are awaiting final field verification report and 24 have been returned to the proponents for additional information or modifications. A total of 236 proposals (32%) have been rejected.

152. The cumulative value of the 329 agribusinesses contracted to date is calculated as NRs 699.82 million (approximately $7.1 million) of which ADB grant share recorded as “contracted” is NRs 509 million ($5.1 million). On average, the ADB grant share for the sub-project has been approximately NRs 1547,100 ($15,471) per Sub-project. Applying this average, the uncommitted funds will be enough for a maximum of 355 additional subprojects. There are 177 proposals which have already been rec-ommended for acceptance by the GAC, and are awaiting field verification reports, modification, or contract signing. This means grant funds are available for around 178 additional sub-projects only. A further 255 proposals have already been evaluated by the GAC and are awaiting a review and final decision by the PMU. If only 65% of these are approved, the investment fund will be exhausted by the time decision is taken on these proposals. The number of agribusinesses that may be supported will thus be around 680. PMU will continue to evaluate all BPs received in PMU and search for additional financing.

11.2 Evaluation of Agribusiness Proposals

153. Out of 2442 BPs received 1443 are yet to be assessed. Currently the two GAC’s are evaluating 10 proposals each, per week (total 20 proposals per week) and 70 proposals per month. If evaluation is continued in same speed it will require 21 months to complete evaluation, while the project will come to an end in 15 more months, because the final closing of the project will be done in October 2017 and operation closing in April 2017. To give the room for Sub-project implementation for 6 months to one year, evaluation of BPs is to be completed by September, 2016. The Project plans to mobilize third grant assessment committee and additional PMU staff to expedite BPs processing.

11.3 Damages in Sub-projects by Earthquake

154. The devastating earthquake that hit Nepal on 25 April 2015 impacted the HIMALI Project significantly, damaging 74 agribusinesses subprojects supported by the Project and causing widespread damage to infrastructure of MOAD research stations and field offices in three districts: Solukhumbu, Dolakha,

Rasuwa. The loss was estimated as NRs 21.91 million.The project has invested a lot of money in devel-oping agribusiness in Dolakha, Rasuwa and Solukhumbu as indicated in table 11.1

3 Solukhumbu 17.33 6.01 23.34 7.15

Total 151.42 58.09 209.51 66.94

155. The project will have to support rehabilitation of infrastructure constructed under HIMALI grants because damage on the facilities and other property will have negative impact Sub-project output and revenues. Procedure and plan of action for reconstruction and rehabilitation will be developed to bring the Sub-projects in normal operation. As the rehabilitation activities will require additional fund, the issue will be thoroughly discussed in Project TCC meeting and PSC meeting and figure out the ways and means for reconstruction and rehabilitation to bring the sub-projects in normal operation.



156. HIMALI Project has now completed fourth year of its implementation and the progress achieved so far is satisfactory. As of 15 July, 2015 the project in all the ADB reviews since its beginning has always remained “on track”. Considering effective implementation of project activities, ADB awarded HIMALI Project with “Exemplary Contribution to Portfolio Performance Award 2014”. The Project was honored at the Country Portfolio Review meeting held in Kathmandu on 18-19 January, 2015. HIMALI Project was selected as one of the four best projects among 44 ongoing ADB financed projects in Nepal in the year 2014.

157. The project has received large number of BPs during 35 days’ notice published to stop registration of new BPs. As of 15 July, 2015 the project has received 2442 BPs in PMU. Grant Assessment Committees (GAC) have reviewed 743 and grants worth of NRs 509.050 million awarded to 329 Sub-projects. However, the project will continue to evaluate remaining BPs and search for the funds to financing potential Agribusiness if available budget is inadequate. At the same time most of the construction work planned under component 2 has been completed and software part which includes training, tours, workshops, capacity building of HIMALI staff at Centre and districts also fully implemented as per the project document. Likewise, procurement of goods and services has also been almost completed.

158. The project in 2014/15 has achieved 95.6 % and 46.1% progress in physical and financial target respectively. The devastating earthquake occurred in 25 April and 12 May, 2015 has damaged 74 sub-projects mainly in Dolakha, Rasuwa and Solukhumbu districts and disturbed sub-project activities during third quarter of 2014/15. The earthquake has also led to delay in submission of bills by the grantees of Sub-projects and thus resulting in low expenditure.

159. As of 15 July, 2015 HIMALI project has achieved overall physical progress of 64.6% and financial progress of 39.39 % as compared to the project target. The expenditure on ADB grants is recorded as 43.55%. On the other hand, 80 Sub-projects in the districts have generated total output value of NRs 58.43 million and created employment to 466 persons. However, the project still needs to work hard to reach its destination set by the project document. The major problem faced has been under spending of Agribusiness Development fund provisioned for providing grants to the proponents. Out of 10.598 million US dollar provisioned under investment fund for this purpose only 28.5% has been spent so far.

160. HIMALI team at PMU has been trying to process the Business Plans received in the project faster. In the reporting period the government staffs as well as the consultants have been very active in verification of approved Business Plans in the field. At the same time more efforts have been put on monitoring of activities of Sub-projects in project districts. The project staff in the centre and districts will also focus more in providing technical feedback to ongoing Sub-projects to achieve project output.
