Planning workshop for
Basantapur, Terathum
22 July 2022
We are supporting Dhankuta Municipality and Chhathar Jorpati Rural Municipality to organise this planning workshop to discuss and plan the activities and budget related to the Nibuwa-Tankhuwa Watershed Management Plan (NTWMP) for the Nepali fiscal year BS . Local government representatives and stakeholders from Dhankuta will be participate in the workshop.
Upon the demand of the local governments, research and multi-stakeholder consultations between the communities and key stakeholders of the Nibuwa-Tankhuwa Watershed from 2018 to 2020 led to the preparation of the NTWMP. The plan builds on the sub-watershed management guidelines of the Department of Forests and Soil Conservation and adds to critical topics such as springshed management and institutional mechanisms for implementation.
The NTWMP primarily aims to assist decision makers and practitioners at the ward, municipality, basin, and national levels to understand the watershed’s status, problems, issues, risks, and opportunities, and to leverage investments for improving watershed management in both the short and long term.
