Slide 6
Focus Strategic planning and resource mobilization tool
Priorities from medium-term perspective Identification of capital
and technical assistance areas Identification of partnership
potentials Identification of programme areas for detailed studies
and proposals; and Recognition of development partners likely to
provide financial and technical support for selected priority
interventions.
Slide 7
Rationale Contribution to the DPs in positioning themselves for
collaborative work (with Government, UN sister agencies, I/NGOs and
private sector) Catalytic and leveraging focus for the use of
scarce resources Contributes to coordinated effort. Can contribute
to add value to complement towards national objectives, while
recognizing each others comparative advantage / mandate for the key
priority areas identified Can make the support purposefully focused
and effective (reducing scattered mobilization of resources for
fragmented planning and implementation of field programmes) Can
enhance investment on agriculture and food security with collective
actions based on the mutually agreed upon priorities Sorts out key
subject areas reconciled with the DPs specific niches and
Government priorities Adds collaborative values to food and
agriculture development Supports decentralization (e.g. FAO)
Slide 8
Objectives To ensure priority based support of the development
partners that comply to the demand / priority of Government of
Nepal (GON) To promote coordinated development activities from the
medium and long-term perspectives To make the Government and DPs
more responsive to the national needs and priorities
Slide 9
Principles Guiding the Formulation Process Reflective to major
needs of agriculture and food security Selective to the strategic
policies and priorities for national development Inclusive of the
subject areas requiring external capital, infrastructure
development and technical assistance Selective to supportive
interest of the UN agencies and other donors Country needs driven
with focus on the development agenda aligned to Interim Plan
(2007/08 2009/10) and the programming process for the forthcoming
Interim Plan (2010/11 -2012/13) Nationally-owned with active
participation of the Government and related DPs Complementary with
due recognition of the DPs comparative advantage based on their
respective mandates
Slide 10
Steps Followed for the Preparation of NASDP Step - 1: Situation
Analysis Review of Policies and strategies followed Accomplishments
made in the past Analysis of current situation Step - 2:
Prioritization of Issues Identification of issues requiring
priority attention for a medium-term (3 years) Reconciliation of
priority issues with envisaged priorities of the Interim Plan
(current and forthcoming) Selection of issues related to the DPs
mandate and comparative advantage Step - 3: Matching of Possible
Development Partners Support Medium-Term / Long-Term support
strategy followed by the DPs in Nepal Overview of completed,
ongoing and pipeline projects supported by the DPs Identification
of areas for possible collaboration between Government and the DPs
Step - 4: Preparation of NASDP Draft Report Discussion of issues
and opportunities at the Inter-Ministerial Taskforce and High-Level
Committees, workshops and meetings Assessment of common priority
areas between GON and DPs (Based on the analysis of current
situation and gaps) Identification of priorities to be addressed
under the medium term (3 years) Interest and opportunities for the
DPs to provide support on selected priorities Step- 5: Validation
of NASDPF Report Validation of the draft NASDP (workshop /
comments) Preparation of final NASDP report (with incorporation of
comments) Technical clearance form FAO HQ / RAPP Submission of
NASDP report to NP (through MoAC)
Slide 11
Scope Not exhaustive of all concerns and priorities Limited
resource mobilization and technical assistance potential
(absorption and support capacity limitations) Uncovered priorities
may emerge in future (no restriction to mobilize resources for such
priorities NASDP a living document) Descended priorities now may
emerge as priority in future Accommodate priorities as well to the
extent they fit to respective mandate, interest and comparative
advantage maintain flexibility in more responsive way No abrupt
termination of ongoing priorities - While maintaining the previous
commitments, it expects gradual move of the DPs towards NASDP till
the past commitments reach their natural end. The NASDP contributes
to the mobilization of more funds, because of catalytic role for
priority actions. It provides opportunity to enhance investment
leverage for large-scale initiatives based on the local level
experience in the long-run.
Slide 12
NMTPF-NAD in Relation to Other Strategic Frameworks MDG and
NASDP - Provides support advocating MDGs (especially Target No. 1:
Reduce poverty and hunger) - Relates to human rights approach
(Rights to Food) UNDAF and NASDP - Priorities of NASDP are aligned
with UNDAF Result Matrix as well - Poverty Reduction Strategies
(PRS) and NASDP UNDAF and NASDP - Nepal one among 80 low-income
countries (eligible for concessional lending and debt relief from
World Bank and International Monitory Fund (IMF) under PRS
associated Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPCs) - NASDP
contributes DPs to best place their assistance in line with
Governments priorities - Agriculture as a lead sector employing
country's poor people - NASDP contributes to operationalise broader
PRS framework facilities with positive impact on food security
NASDP and NPFS - Follows common objective of food security and
eradication of hunger (NASDP covers priorities for agriculture
sector development in general, while the NPFS concentrates in the
promotion of longer-term food security). - NPFS will be built upon
the groundwork of NASDP

Life ends, when we stop dreaming And the hope ends, when we stop
