Over 80% of Nepal’s population is at risk from disasters. Relief and recovery from such disasters tend to be slow and chaotic. Not everyone who is affected gets relief on time. The government is developing new guidelines for shock-responsive social protection to mobilize existing social protection programs to deliver relief after the shocks. Social protection systems that can respond to shocks will benefit millions of Nepalis which is central to the green, resilient, and inclusive development (GRID) approach.

In 2018, the World Bank transitioned from safeguards to Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) — moving from simply “Do no Harm” — to making development projects transformative, inclusive, and sustainable. In Nepal, we conducted an Overview Assessment of the country’s existing environmental and social (E&S) provisions to provide a strategic analysis of Nepal’s ESF in relation to the World Bank’s ESF. A robust country E&S system can help identify project risks and impacts, inform the design of appropriate mitigation measures, and continuously monitor implementation to build stakeholder trust and de-risk investment. The recently released Overview Assessment of Nepal’s ESF identifies key recommendations to harmonize country system with good international practices and calls for collective action.

बिहार में धुआँ-मुक्त रसोई: बेहतर स्टोव से जीवन में बदलाव

बिहार राज्य गंभीर वायु प्रदूषण से जूझ रहा है। प्रदेश में धुआं का प्रमुख कारण यहां इस्तेमाल किये जा रहे पारंपरिक लकड़ी और गोबर से जलने वाले चूल्हों का है। एलपीजी और बायोगैस जैसे स्वच्छ ईंधन को अपनाने में प्रगति के बावजूद, कई गरीब परिवार अभी भी इन प्रदूषणकारी तरीकों पर निर्भर हैं। इस वीडियो में देखें कैसे महिलाओं के नेतृत्व वाले स्वयं सहायता समूहों (एसएचजी) के अभिनव प्रयासों के द्वारा बेहतर स्टोव का इस्तेमाल किया जा रहा है। अब महिलाओं और बच्चों के स्वास्थ्य में बेहतरी हो रही है और बिहार के वायु प्रदूषण में कटौती करने के कार्य में मार्ग दर्शन प्रदान करता है।

https://youtu.be/MlHtbotIqc8 कई वर्षों तक कोसी नदी से आने वाली बाढ़ से बिहार के कई ज़िले तबाह हो जाते थे। विश्व बैंक समर्थित बिहार कोसी बेसिन विकास परियोजना के साथ, राज्य को बार-बार तबाह करने वाली बाढ़ से निपटने में मदद मिली है।

इस परियोजना से तटबंधों की रक्षा करने में मदद मिली है। परियोजना के तहत स्थापित नया बाढ़ प्रबंधन सुधार सहायता केंद्र, डेटा इकट्ठा करने के लिए नवीन तकनीक का उपयोग कर रहा है, और बाढ़ की चेतावनी का पूर्वानुमान लगाने के लिए सिमुलेशन का उपयोग करता है। इससे राज्य को बेहतर ढंग से तैयार होने और अपनी कृषि, बुनियादी ढांचे, शिक्षा और स्वास्थ्य देखभाल को बेहतर ढंग से सञ्चालन करने में मदद मिल रही है। यह परियोजना बाढ़ से प्रभावित दुसरे क्षेत्रों और समान चुनौतियों का सामना करने वाले क्षेत्रों के लिए एक समग्र मॉडल प्रदान करती है।
