The Government of Nepal together with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) developed the ´Building a Resilient Churia Region in Nepal´ (BRCRN) Project. The overarching objective of the proposed Green Climate Fund (GCF) project is to “enhance the climate resilience of ecosystems and vulnerable communities in the Churia region through integrated sustainable rural development and natural resource management approaches.”The project will directly benefit at least 750 community-based organizations, containing over 173,160 households and 831,168 people (50% women), in 26 vulnerable river systems to strengthen their resilience against climate change. Indirectly the project will benefit over 3.2 million people living in the BRCRN project area. The project is aligned with the country´s National Development Plans, climate change policy and key sectoral strategies, as well as Nepal´s international commitments, including its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The project has been designed through extensive stakeholder consultations at the national, regional and local level, including consultations with local community-based organizations, indigenous federations, women’s groups and Dalit organizations, among other stakeholders. The National Designated Authority (NDA) has issued a letter of no-objection for the project, and has been closely involved throughout the elaboration of the concept note, funding proposal and supporting documents.
