Nepal Situation Report #11, 9 June 2015
Abstract:
Following a request by the Government of Nepal to assess the food security situation in Solukhumbu, WFP and the Ministry of Agricultural Development, through the Nepal food security monitoring system (NeKSAP), held a district food security network meeting in Solukhumbu district on 4 June. The meeting produced a NeKSAP food security phase classification and found that, out of the 34 village development committees (VDCs), 13 were classified as moderately food insecure and 21 as highly food insecure.Through “Operation Mountain Express”, WFP is working with experienced mountaineers and Nepal’s porter network to deliver lifesaving humanitarian assistance to 82,000 people, as well as restoring the area’s vital trail network.With the low funding level for WFP’s emergency operation (only 21 percent funded), there is a risk that the gains made during Phase I of the operation will be lost. This may undermine the future recovery efforts of the operation, while prolonging the time that people need to re-establish their livelihoods. Resources are urgently required to ensure that those in need receive assistance during Phase II and Phase III of WFP’s response.Under the leadership of the Government of Nepal, a post disaster needs assessment (PDNA) will be conducted in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, including WFP. The objective of the PDNA is to assess the impact of the earthquakes, and put forward a long-term recovery strategy. While taking the lead on community infrastructure rehabilitation, WFP will also have a significant role to play in various sectors including nutrition, social protection, education, disaster risk reduction, health, and the revival of the agricultural sector.WFP has received generous contributions from many donors, including Australia, Canada, Denmark, ECHO, Germany, Japan, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Norway, United Kingdom, United States, UN CERF and the private sector.
