“A summary of progress against DFID’s portfolio in Nepal”
DFID Nepal’s Operational Plan 2011-2015
The UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID) prepared an Operational Plan for Nepal during 2010. This plan commits up to £331 million of UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) during the period 2011-2015. Our Operational Plan is set around four pillars that we believe are critical to secure long term peace and development in Nepal; (1) Governance & Security (2) Inclusive Wealth Creation, (3) Service Delivery (4) Climate & Disaster Resilience. Gender and Social Inclusion is a major cross-cutting theme throughout all of our work and is reflected in our results. By 2015 we have committed to achieve the following results in partnership with the Government of Nepal:
Create 230,000 jobs, 50 per cent of them for women
Build or maintain over 4,000 km of road
Reduce the climate and disaster vulnerability of 4 million poor people, of which 50% will be women
Lift 570,000 people out of poverty through the forestry programme1 , of which 55% will be women
Public audits conducted for 93 per cent of local government projects
Support 7 million people to vote in Constituent Assembly elections
Avert 400,000 unwanted pregnancies
Ensure 250,000 people (51% women) benefit from safe latrines
