Development (CDD) approach). A secondary objective is to support policy and institutional development in the state to harmonize watershed development projects and programs across the state in accordance with best practices. village development committees, which were created for the purpose of IWDP implementation. HP The twin development objectives of the proposed project include: 1 Improvement of the productive potential of degraded lands or watershed catchment areas and enhance biomass production and carbon stocks in degraded lands and 2 Improvement of livelihoods and incomes of rural households residing in selected watersheds using socially Indicative carbon revenue: Rs. 3000 to 4000/ha at US$ of carbon besides reduction of GHG globally The Bank -do- Additional top up of carbon revenue to benefit the forest conservation institutions at the community level
based traditional shepherds and obliteration of their grazing tracks necessitates alternative livelihood options for them. GLOF and Flood hazard mapping to have priority zones Identification of priority zone can create differentiated approach to prioritize and address the needs of the most vulnerable population. This approach will optimize the cost as evacuation and protection can be streamlined and wasteful costs can be curtailed The which are not likely to be affected and not in flood path, can be spared from unnecessary flood control structures so that bio-diversity loss would also be minimized Development and operationalization of an early warning system The system will help in livelihood and participation. Will reduce the risk to infrastructure and livelihood and reduce opportunity cost by enhancing preparedness. Integrated system will also be used for advisory and help in adjusting the crop calendar and prevent risks to crops (both cereals and fruit crops) It can help in better management of the and plains and reduce the loss of water quality Capacity building of the community on threat detection and management Creation of a dedicated volunteer cadre to engage with the early warning system would enhance the disaster preparedness. The project will also strengthen the capacity of and community-based organizations. In the process of achieving enhanced disaster preparedness, community members and organizations will be enabled to improve their communication and outreach activities. A better network will minimize the household and enterprise level costs and livelihood loss. Better management of natural resources and management of Knowledge management, Reduces risk for vulnerable groups. Strengthens Protects the investment made and transfer the Documents environmental
Alignment with the national and state action plans and other policies / programmes: GoHP aligns all its sectoral strategy to national Missions on its state strategy and action plan. Accordingly, this project is closely linked to the National Mission for sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem of the State Strategy & Action Plan on Climate Change. It conforms to the guidelines of National Adaptation Fund provided by MoEFCC. It is also in line with development plans and activities of the state disaster management authority. Component wise linkage with SAPCC and NAPCC has been mentioned in section 1.1.b .The concrete adaptation components have been highlighted in earlier sections. Component wise technical standards: Activity Applicable Standard Application to project Sensors and early warning systems Installation protocol to be inconformity with Indian Wireless Act, installation subject to MHA guidelines and inner line requirements as applicable to border areas. IEEE Sensors to be installed at the locations where water filling data can be sent to the managed data centers and based on the model the
and relevant approved BIS standards under 2G, 2.5G, 3G and wherever available 4G and contingency planning can be done Water harvesting /other physical structures As per the applicable structural guideline for hill region and scheduled rate. The structures will be created by I&PH and Department of Irrigation, Himachal Pradesh as per the regular technical standard being adopted by the department for constructional activity. Higher water availability in the project location to be used for local livelihood promotion. These standards as applicable from time to time are to be determined in consultation with partner departments. There is no structural measure requiring EIA. Most of the activities proposed are environment friendly. The implementing entity will use the rate schedule of the state for the structural work. Common watershed guideline (updated) would be followed for structural measures along the watershed. Vulnerability assessment uses the standard IPCC methods and techniques. Duplication Check:
Project Objectives Complementarity Geographical Coverage/Agency State Disaster Management Plan Emergency support function plan Reducing, preventing, mitigating disaster risk and creating a system for effective disaster response The project approaches are unique. (e.g. Automated EWS although this can be used in agricultures sector, zonation for vulnerability based on current and future scenarios will help in developing new perspective plan, development plan) Different approach The project uses convergent measures in some of the existing programmes to avoid duplication. The area is not covered under disaster management programme yet. The IPH department has realised the importance of this work and is envisaging a project a part of which would be funded for the identified area and the balance will be from the state.
