(2012/13-2014/15)
1.1 Background of Sindhuli District
Sindhuli district is inner terai district. The district is hemmed by long stretched Siwalik range
in the southern side and the Koshi River in the northern side. Likewise Udayapur district and
Siraha districts lie in the eastern side and Kavre, Makwanpur and Rautahat districts lie in the
western side of the district. There are 53 VDCs and a municipality in the district. The
population of the district as per the preliminary report of census 2068 depicts 294621 where
male population shares 141573 and female 153048 numbers. There are 58270 households
where 5.06 family members dwell in each household in average. The population growth rate
is very low that is 0.52 % in comparison with national figure that is 1.4%.
Education status
For development and promotion of quality education the School Sector Improvement Project
(SSIP) is being implemented in the district since FY 066/067. Under this program Early
childhood development, Determination to access to education, Literacy and lifelong
education, Enhancement of quality education, Teacher education and development, Capacity
building for service delivery, School management and monitoring, School support and Non
salary support or per child funding programs are being undergone in the district.
The number of educational institutions composite of community and institutions are 992.
Amongst the total number child development centers are 413, primary schools are 373, lower
secondary schools are 96, secondary schools are 52 and higher secondary schools are 58. In
Informal education there are 5 programs are running and more recently 5,140 persons are
benefited in the district.
Drinking water and sanitation situation
1
Water and sanitation has been a major concern in terms of public health in the district. Not
only DDC itself is implementing water and sanitation promotion programs but also line
agencies and nongovernmental organizations in the district are making endeavor to get rid of
water and sanitation problems. Up to the date 70 % populations have easy access to piped
hygienic drinking water. As the district have envisioned the open defecation free district
within 2016 and in action, 2 VDCs and 4 wards have declared as open defecation free VDCs
as well as wards so far.
Forest and soil conservation situation
Sindhuli district is near to 60% forest covered district. There are 421 community forest
groups, 411 leasehold forest users group and remaining is government managed forest. In
figure the CFUGs are managing 70628 Ha and LHFUGs are managing 2704 Ha forest area in
the district. The state own forest area is 854 sq km in the district. There in the district 12
forest range posts under 2 Illaka forest offices.
Due to the narrow breadth Sindhuli district makes divers climatic floras and faunas. Tropical
Sal forest found up to the 1000 m altitude and gradually as the altitude raises, different types
of vegetation is found in the district. Upper temperate forest is the highest altitude vegetation
of the district. The common vegetation in this altitude is Pinus roxburghi and Rhododendron.
Deforestation and encroachment are major problems in forest management in the district.
Unstable Siwalik range is discharging huge amount of silt which ultimately heighten the river
bed and in the same time flood causes heavy loss in land, lives and property.

Agriculture and livestock situation
2
Agriculture of the district is in transitional stage to commercialization from traditional
subsistence farming. The road – BP Highway construction and other infrastructure development
are favoring commercialization of agriculture. Though, there is several technology related
production and marketing related supply problems.
Land use status of the district in hectare is 251879 where cultivable land makes up 24.89% and
cultivated is 79.39%. Irrigation facility is still gloomy. There is 70.12% of cultivated land which
is beyond irrigation access. Only 17.93% of cultivated land has access to all season’s irrigation.
Near to 12% of cultivated land have wet weather irrigation.
For providing effective and efficient agriculture service, DADO have established 6 agriculture
service centers and 3 contact centers in the district. There are 7 pocket areas in regard to
production like cereal, fruits, vegetables and spices.
Food balance sheet of the district is hopeful in terms of its recovering tendency. In FY 067/068
1877 MT food was deficit whereas FY 068/069 showed remarkable recovers. In FY 068/069 the
deficit shrunk to 283MT.
For the qualitative and quantitative promotion of livestock services and products the district
livestock service office has established 6 service centers and 7 sub centers in the district and
services are providing there from. There in the district 7 livestock pocket centers are functioning.
The active livestock committees are 19 and groups are 156 and in the district.
Main activities undergo from the DLSO are livestock treatment, genetic improvement, fodder
promotion, commercial farming of livestock, marketing and cooperative development.
Composite HDI places the Sindhuli district in 43rd rank. Individually GDI and life expectancy is
considerably low amongst the calculated indices of the district. District Development Plan is
formulated and implemented incorporating settlement level prioritized projects to reduce the
poverty of the district in annual basis. However the expected results as well as outcome have not
yet been turned up. There are many factors impeding the progress and achievement. Among
them a factor that is seemingly trifle but in reality a very decisive playing a pivotal role to
impede the results and achievements. That is result based monitoring and evaluation of the
intervention.
Monitoring and evaluation is not new and unpracticed activities in our participatory planning
culture. The periodic multiyear plans, LSGA 2055, LSGAR 2056, Directives have provided the
monitoring and evaluation provisions. But as per the spirits of these documents we are not able
to arrange the result based monitoring and evaluation so far and conducted in accordance. We are
focusing on oversight activities instead of result based monitoring and evaluation. What we are
doing in the name of the monitoring and evaluation is supervising the actions that was said to be
taken in the inception of planning period. But the effective monitoring and evaluation process
involves tracking strategies and actions being taken by partners and non partners, and figuring
3
out what new strategies and actions need to be taken to ensure progress towards the most
important results.
Programs and projects with strong monitoring and evaluation components tend to stay on track.
Additionally, problems are often detected earlier, which reduces the likelihood of having major
cost overruns or time delays later.DDC Sindhuli is also planning monitoring and evaluation plan
for some priority first (P1) project of different line ministry agencies of Sindhuli district.
1.1.2 Vision/goals of Sindhuli District (District development plan)
“Jungle ra Junar, Sindhuli Jilla ko Bikash ko Adhar.”
DDC Sindhuli has not yet formulated periodic plan that is why the district has no clear long term
vision and accessible goals. However development slogan of the district has been evolved and
passed by the DDC council 7 years ago. However it is long since the evolution of the slogan but
has not yet faded and threadbare. The importance and relevance is still live. The slogan gives
emphasis to fruits, flora and faunas available in the district. The slogan says Jungle ra Junar,
Sindhuli Jilla ko Bikash ko Adhar.
DDP is formulated each year. DDP doesn't target the vision and goals due to not having the
district's own vision and goal. Obviously, DDP is settlement level prioritized projects therefore it
seeks to reduce the poverty through agriculture and infrastructure development. The DDP
incorporates the software projects like capacity building and awareness rising in regard to public
health and governance.
1.1.3 Purpose of the District Development Plan (If it is separated from Vision/goals)
Obviously the purpose of DDP is reducing the district level poverty through people's meaningful
participation in mobilizing resources available in the district. Reducing the prevailing poverty is
not single factor contributions and interventions. It needs multidimensional efforts and
contribution. More definitely the below given points asserts the purpose of formulation of DDP





Promotion of agricultural comparative advantage sectors like fruits, milk, meat and
vegetables.
Agricultural road connectivity to comparative advantage area.
Agricultural productivity promotion through management and construction of traditional
as well as sector irrigation systems.
Promotion of life rural sanitation through ODF and drinking water availability.
Protection of agricultural land and human habitat of the district against flood induced
havoc through soil conservation initiations.
Income promotion through forest management and ownership and promotion of non
timber forest business.

1.1.4 Present situations of M&E at district
In the DDP M/E has been given high priorities since the promulgation of LSGA. There is
incessant provision of M/E in all periodic plans that were formulated in time to time and up to
the present interim three years plan. Despite the provisions, the effective result based monitoring
has not yet been conducted in different line ministry agencies development interventions in the
district. Even local bodies interventions are not yet monitored for achieving the targeted results.
There are many factors discouraging the conduction of result based monitoring. The structural
dilemmas are one of them. The below drawn table can clarify the structural ambiguities in
conduction of monitoring and evaluation.

LDO and other district level

Implementing structures in local
level is weak and feeble.
Seems high sounding in
reference to practices
Hiding and seeking legislators,
DDC chairperson is available
but DDC members are not
available.
Therefore
this
committee is virtually defunct.
Almost members are not in
existence except a DDC
official.
The committee only monitors
the implementation status and
basically focuses on the actions
rather
than
progress
on
achievements.
The structural dilemma has brought the M/E less effective in development projects and
interventions. Our monitoring that is we have been conduction since long only gives the answer
of the question, Are we taking the actions we said we would take rather than making the
progress on achieving the results that we said we wanted to achieve.
