1. BACKGROUND
Nepal Earthquake of April 2015 and subsequent aftershocks including of May 2015, caused wide spread destruction of residential houses, heritage sites, water supply system, government building, rural road, health posts etc in many districts. Nuwakot is one the worstearthquake affected district. According to National Reconstruction Authority (NRA), the total number of houses damaged in Nuwakot district is 74,533 of which 65,759 are fully damaged and 8,774 partially damaged. Nuwakot district is administratively divided into 10 Rural Municipality and 2 municipalities (former: 61 Village Development Committees (VDCs)&1 Municipality). The total population residing in the Nuwakot district is about 2,77,471 in 59,194 households (HHs) with an average HH size of 4.69 (CBS, 2012). The female populationof 1,32,787 in the districts is lower than that of male population 1, 44,684. The sex ratio of the district is 91.78 (CBS, 2012).
Government of Nepal has selected Nuwakot district as one of the three districts to be supported under the World Bank funded Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Project (EHRP). The main objective of the EHRP is to restore earthquake-affected houses with multi-hazard resistant core housing units in targeted districts (Nuwakot, Dolkha and Dhading districts) and to enhance the government's ability to improve long-term disaster resilience. The project has four components: (1) Improved Housing Reconstruction, (2) Disaster Risk Management Systems, (3) Project Implementation Support and (4) Contingency Emergency Response.
2. SCOPE OF EHRP EHRP supports only reconstruction of owners built houses. Government, through EHRP, provides grants to households for construction of residential houses following ‘owner-driven’ housing construction model.
EHRP approach includes:
• All beneficiary households will build their houses on their own land. Thus, land acquisition and resettlement is not envisaged under the project.
• Residential houses will be small and constructed by the beneficiary household themselves using EHRP’s design criteria.
• Not all the houses will be constructed at the same time. Beneficiary households are expected to build their houses on their own pace.
• No contractors will be used for construction works. Households will have option to hire skilled and unskilled laborers as needed.
• In Nepal, community members also come together to help each other to build their houses and community help is also provided to the vulnerable households.
• General awareness/orientation on building earthquake resilient houses, environment and social safeguards and “Build Back Better Opportunity” measures are embedded in the project design. Accordingly, government has developed the EHRP program to support the affected households. This is described in the following paragraph (Government’s overall approach for earthquake disaster recovery in Nepal).
• EHRP (housing component) does not support reconstruction of heritage/cultural sites, schools and other physical and social infrastructure and services.

Government’s overall approach for earthquake disaster recovery in Nepal includes: • Skilled-training (mason, carpentry, plumbing, electrical) as a part of overall strategies are
being provided by Department of Urban Development and Building Construction (DUDBC) in coordination with other line agencies and NGOs/INGOs. All interested community members and beneficiaries including those from vulnerable groups can take the training. NRA has already finalized the earthquake resilient house construction design parameters. Based on the design parameter DUDBC engineer verifies earthquake resilient house reconstruction and beneficiaries are entitled to receive the payments in different tranches.
• Government recognizes the need for supplementary top-up financial assistance worth NPR 50,000 for vulnerable households which could be in the form of materials and labor support among others. This supplementary financial support will be provided by partner organizations1
• Housing construction support of Rs 25,000 will also be extended as part of housing grant to promote sanitations and renewable energy (including solar power, Improved Cooking Stoves (ICS) or bio-gas etc. As such, the sanitation part of the settlement is likely to improve. However this support is conditional subject to the construction of toilet or installation of alternative energy provision by the beneficiary households.
. Currently, the government is preparing the guideline for vulnerable support package to the affected households by partner organizations.
3. SUB-PROJECTS (SETTLEMENTS) Environmental and Social Screening was done at settlement level. Under EHRP- a settlement or sub project is defined based on a combination of following criteria: administrative boundary (such as a ward, or a former VDC), name of the village/place (such as Tole/Community), natural or topographical boundary and contiguity. It is to be noted that the former VDCs are restructured as Rural Municipality and Urban Municipality according to new restructuring under the federalism of Nepal.

The total number of eligible HHs considered as beneficiaries identified from National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) for “Nepal Earthquake 2015”, are 936 HHs in 14settlements (Besi; Manjh, Devithan & Bhorle;Negi, Pokharel & Raute Tole; Sagini & Karki Danda; Kalleri; Khanikharka; Zebrang & 1 Sector Plans and Financial Projection, May 2016, NRA.

4. SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING AND ITS OBJECTIVES
ESMF requires Environmental and Social screening of each subproject/ settlement. The objectives of screenings are:
• To identify potential environmental and social issues/risks (physical, biological, social –cultural specific to the area) related to the subprojects and its activities,
• To identify the need to obtain any regulatory clearances like for clearing/felling of trees from Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation (MoFSC),for approval of quarry sites from local government (District Coordination Committee (DCC)/Municipality/ Rural Municipality) etc,
• To check if the proposed location and activity meets the exclusion criteria, • To establish the need to carry out any further investigation/survey/ assessment for preparation
of safeguard document like ESMPs, Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), Vulnerable Community Development Plan (VCDP), or any specific study and to provide guidance regarding environmental and social requirements and steps that need to be taken for addressing identified issues, and
• To explore opportunities for creating linkage for enhancing benefits, building better and synergy.
5. METHODOLOGY
• Desk study: Documents such as district profile, former VDC profile, CBS publication and publication of line agencies at district level and other project related reports were reviewed. Besides, topographic maps of 1:25000 scale and regional geological map including Google earth map were used as references for the overview of the sub project area.
• Field visit and consultation: An elaborated Environmental and Social screening checklist was used (Annex- I) for recording information. Walkover survey for recording information was also carried out at settlement level. Free, prior and informed consultation with beneficiaries and local informants was undertaken on 9 June 2017. During the consultations, stakeholders were informed about the project support provisions and information on socioeconomic setting including physical and biological features. . Discussions were also held with district and local sectorial agencies including District Technical Office (DTO), ward secretary of rural municipality, communities’ groups- CFUGs and CBO active in sub project area.
• Further consultations and discussions were held with and among EHRP Consultants; consultant engineers from Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and also with Local Governance and Community Development Programme (LGCDP) Social Mobilizers.
