Friends Service Council Nepal conducted orientation pro-
gram on livestock insurance for livestock farmers of God-
wari-2 on 5th December 2017. The orientation was conduct-
ed through Livelihood based Self Recovery Project which is
being imple-
mented by
FSCN in part-
nership with
World Jewish
Relief. The
main objec-
tive of the
orientation
was to inform
the farmers
about the
concept and
provision of
livestock in-
surance, the
subsidy being
offered by the government, and the benefits of livestock
insurance.
In order to promote the livestock insurance among the rural
and poor households, the Government of Nepal has intro-
duced a provision of 75% subsidy. However many commu-
nity members are unaware about this fact. Thus, through the
Livelihood support project, FSCN implemented orientation
and goat insurance activity in the project area i.e. Godawari
-2.As total of 46 households have been covered and a total
of 92 goats have been insured in collaboration with Shikhar
Insurance Company. Among the insurance premium cost
75% cost will be covered by the Government, 10% will be
covered by FSCN and the remaining 15% cost will be paid
by the beneficiaries themselves. After the orientation pro-
gram beneficiaries as well other community members of
Godawari-2 were very keen on insurance of their livestock.
Friends Service Council Nepal conducted two days capacity
building training for the members of Jaleshwori Women’s Ag-
riculture Multipurpose Cooperative of Godawai-2 on 24th and
25th December 2017.The training was conducted through the
Livelihood Based Self-Recovery project which is being imple-
mented by FSCN in partnership with World Jewish Relief
(WJR).The training was held at FSCN training hall in Imadole

cial aspects such as balance sheet, trail balance, information
on government subsidy and loan system, operation and man-
agement mechanism etc. A total of 15 participants attended

was provided to the 35 members of Ward level Disaster and
Climate Resili-
ence Commit-
tees (WDCRCs)
of ward 6 and 8
which were
formed in facili-
tation of FSCN
PRAGATI pro-
ject. They were
trained on basic
concepts of
DRM, Acts and
Policies, tools of
risk assessment and draft Local Disaster and Climate Resili-
ence Plan guideline. They were trained on using around 8-9
tools of risk assessment such as risk mapping, Venn dia-
gram, crop calen-
dar, hazard map-
ping, problem anal-
ysis etc, developing
risk profile of their
communities and
oriented on the
draft guideline to
develop ward level
Disaster and Cli-
mate Resilience
Plan.
They are also expected to support during the ward level
VCA and municipal level Disaster and Climate Resilience
Plan formulation
process. There
were 39 partici-
pants comprising
committee mem-
bers and staffs.
They actively
participated in
the training and
also highlighted
the need of main-
streaming DRM
in development
plans and also
insisted to pre-
serve traditional risk mitigating measures their great grand-
fathers used or followed.
Friend Service Council Nepal (FSCN) has since long been
practicing the tool of Participatory Self Review and Plan-
ning (PSRP) Workshop for overall review, sharing and plan-
ning of the projects. Based on the outcome of the PSRP, we
have been reviewing and planning the programs and activi-
ties for the effectiveness of the project. So that based on the
feedback and recommendation of the program would be
possible to concrete revision on the coming program and
projects.
In this process the existing project “Strengthening Infor-
mation Management and DRR Coordination Mechanism in
Kathmandu Valley" supported by DCA also conducted
PSRP Workshop in Dhulikhel Resort dated 28-29 December
2017. As the project has been implemented with close col-
laboration with the government authorities like District Dis-
aster Management Committee (DDMCs), and some munici-
palities of Kathmandu Valley, as the same line this work-
shop participates had also able to engage those representa-
tives from the same concern government line agencies for
the participatory review and planning. Moreover, this work-
shop had anticipated to find out the strengths and area of
improvements of the project, opportunities, threats and gaps
of the project which will be crucial in planning for next
phases.
The main objective of the workshop is to review and reflect
the activities/achievements of ongoing Strengthening Infor-
mation Management and DRR Coordination in Kathmandu
Valley Project; and consolidate feedback, suggestion and
recommendations for further project planning. The work-
shop was conducted in participatory way for review and
planning. It is remarkable that Mr Jaya Kumar Ghimire,
Assty. CDO of Bhaktapur was the chief guest of the pro-
gram and there were 14 participants altogether including 5
female and 9 male.
