This publication is a collection of human stories prepared as part of the experiences gained under the Livelihood Recovery for Peace (LRP) Project of UNDP in Nepal. This five-year project was launched in late 2009 and implementation started in early 2010. The stories presented here are, therefore, achievements of the past two years collected through individual interviews and focus group discussions with target beneficiaries, representatives from local civil society, and community leaders. The project is implemented in Mahottari, Sarlahi and Rautahat, the three Central Tarai (southern plains) districts of Nepal, where poverty, conflict and natural disasters have hindered development(see Map below). These districts have the lowest Human Development Index among the Tarai districts. The 2.1 million people who live in these districts have a mixed ethnic make up. The project is designed to be implemented in all 271 village development committees (VDCs) of the three districts through a cluster approach. To date, LRP has implementedits programs in 176 VDCs covering all76 VDCs in Mahottari, 67 VDCs in Sarlahi,and33 VDCs in Rautahat.
