A water supply development subproject will be implemented in Dharan municipality as part of Integrated Urban Development Project in which water supply development, improvement and expansion are the main objectives. The project will also undertake community development programs (CDP), focusing primarily on poverty pockets in the municipalities and communities that may not benefit directly from major infrastructure improvement subprojects. Gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) will be mainstreamed in all subprojects in the municipalities, and the capacity to address GESI in the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) will be strengthened by establishing an appropriate institutional structure and mechanisms for GESI mainstreaming.
