Nepal is warming at nearly twice the global average, with urban areas facing severe heat stress. In the southern Terai, extreme heat and humidity are driving rapid growth in energy demand for cooling, increasing emissions and placing significant stress on energy infrastructure. Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City (DSMC) in Sudurpaschim Province experiences recurrent heatwaves during May–August, with temperatures frequently exceeding 40°C. Climate variability, rapid and unplanned urbanization, loss of green spaces, and limited energy-efficient infrastructure exacerbate risks to public health, livelihoods, and essential services, disproportionately affecting low-income households, outdoor workers, and residents of poorly insulated housing. Impacts include heat-related illness and mortality, school disruptions, and reduced functionality of public facilities.

DFAT-Strengthening Inclusive Democratic Governance and Electoral Process in Nepal

The project focuses on strengthening the capacities of youth networks, partnering with civil society, academic institutions, and government to foster meaningful youth participation in governance.

The Joint Project aims to deploy, test and refine innovative, scalable financing solutions in support of local food systems transformation action plans.

The project intervention is expected to improve major trekking trails and enhance various tourist services and facilities, promoting emerging destinations, building local capacities, and digitizing tourism services. These efforts are expected to foster inclusive, sustainable, and resilient economic development by creating tourism-based employment opportunities for women, youth, LGBTIQ people, and people living with disabilities including poor, vulnerable, and marginalized communities, capacity development of the tourism sector workforce, standardization of tourism services, adoption of digitization, and promotion of Nepals tourism sector.

The Project is aimed to support the communities to recover from the earthquake but also build capacities of the local governments to restore disrupted public services, enhance disaster preparedness and start long-term recovery and reconstruction.

The Green Transition in Nepal Portfolio (henceforth termed as Green Transition Portfolio) aims to support municipalities in Nepal in the adoption of green practices, focusing on three interconnected transformation pillars: 1. Developing circularity, and green and inclusive economy, adapted to each municipality’s context 2. Establishing a balanced relationship with nature by implementing sustainable and green municipal infrastructures and services, as well as improving the ecosystem resilience within and around municipalities to mitigate local climate and disaster risks3. Establishing supportive policy and governance environment to accelerate green transition in Nepal. It’s an umbrella portfolio that aims to engage with individual municipalities and build local level portfolios that are co-owned with the local authorities and communities, as well as promote coordination, learning, and sharing between them.

The Strengthening Health Resilience in Nepal - UNDP- HIV/TB and ML Project (the Project) will support the Government of Nepal (GoN) to strengthen the country’s resilience and health response and contribute towards a world free of the burden of HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria with better and equitable health care for all. The project’s focus is to address the significant gaps in TB case notification by maximising efforts to reach missing cases with focus on screening among key and vulnerable populations and engaging private service providers. There is a need to improve the capacity of lab network especially in optimising sample transportation, diagnosis, utilisation of GeneXpert and ensuring quality assurance across the diagnostic lab network. Further, the Project will focus on expanding the treatment coverage for DRTB cases and bringing initial loss to follow up cases to radar of health care and treatment. Nepal’s shift to a federal system of governance, as outlined in the Constitution of 2015, has affected human resource capacities of TB and HIV/AIDS programmes, in particular at provincial and local levels. The Project aims to address this by supporting capacity development relevant stakeholders at the sub-national levels, thereby improving resilience of health systems to effectively response to HIV/TB and ML in the country.

Nepal faces significant challenges in combating HIV, Tuberculosis (TB) and Malaria, despite noteworthy progress and achievement in public health and country’s response to health issues. According to the National Center for AIDS and STD control (NCASC), approximately 30,300 people live with HIV with concentrated prevalence among key populations such as sex workers, people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men and migrants who face higher risks due to unsafe practices and lack of targeted interventions. In 2023, 457 people were infected with HIV, a 91% reduction of annual infection rate compared to statistics in 2000. Whereas TB remains a major concern with an estimated incidence of 69,000, with only 69% of infected persons notified,1 and mortality among HIV negative persons of 17,000 Drug resistant TB (DRTB) is an emerging concern, further complicating prevention and treatment efforts. Nepal has started to implement a TB free initiative which has the potential to change the trajectory of the TB burden in the country. However, the initiative is currently limited to 150 out of 753 local governments. Limited or overburdened human resource capacity has markedly reduced the capacity to coordinate the TB programme implementation at the provincial level, and capacity development needs remain high. Further, the weak maintenance system of equipment including calibration, updating software versions and timely repair of equipment and diagnostics further challenge the disease treatment in Nepal. For the last decade Malaria cases have declined significantly but the disease remains endemic in 25 districts with over 1.2 million people who are at risk due to limited access to healthcare, particularly in remote areas of the country. Socio-economic factors, stigma, and poor health infrastructure all play major roles in timely treatment and access to the services. Further, low awareness, risk behaviours and funding gaps hinder Nepal’s ability to effectively prevent, diagnose, and

TA will focus on providing technical assistance to the Provincial and Local Governance Strengthening Programme (PLSGP) for the institutional and organizational capacities of Provincial and Local Governments (PLGs) to deliver inclusive basic services (BSD) which benefit all people, especially women, the most vulnerable and marginalized, and for the federal government to develop and implement necessary laws and policies to strengthen inter-governmental relationships. The Government of Nepal and UNDP Nepal cost-shared portfolio will deploy a collaborative capacity development process and a Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) transformative approach to federal state building in all the seven provinces of Nepal. This systemic challenge requires a systems approach, which is best pursued through the framework of a portfolio.

Road accidents in Nepal bring heavy losses to lives and to the economy every year. Despite all efforts, casualties have increased by 155% in the last 15 years. Experts estimate that the number may reach 4,500 by 2030, which means 12 people dying on roads every day. Women, children, and people with disability are particularly at high risk of road incidents. The majority of casualties from road crashes are among those of productive age, resulting in an economic loss of USD 122,88 million (equivalent to nearly 1.5% of GDP) in 2017. Aligned to UN General Assembly resolution A/RES/74/299, “Improving global road safety”, with an explicit target of reducing 50% of road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030, Nepal developed the National Road Safety Action Plan (NRSAP) (2021 – 2030) in 2020. However, the implementation of NRSAP lagged due to poor regulations, limited technical capacity, and weak enforcement.
