Los centros de computadora en el districto de Syangja de Nepal están haciendo frente a una crisis de la conectividad. Las aldeas enteras consiguen el email y hojean el Internet con el equivalente del teléfono portátil que usted lleva adentro su bolsillo.

La anchura de banda celular del Internet se manda la cuenta por el minuto. Mientras que los centros de información de NRIDS llegan a ser cada vez más populares los costes se están levantando a los niveles prohibitivos. A menudo, las conexiones compartidas en las velocidades celulares no son bastante rápidas apoyar Internet alto de hoy de la anchura de banda.

Pegado en conexiones lentas, están cortando a muchas comunidades rurales de Nepali de los recursos electrónicos que el mundo occidental toma para concedido.


NRIDS tiene un plan para solucionar la crisis de la conectividad. Usando el mismo hardware barato wi-fi instalado en hogares y coffeshops a través del mundo occidental, esperanzas de NRIDS de construir un repetidor sin hilos en una alta canto-tapa en el lago Kharsuko.

NRIDS tiene voluntarios técnico expertos el querer poner este proyecto en ejecución para libre, pero no tiene ningún fondo para comprar las radios y las antenas necesarias. Todos lo que toma para hacer esta red posible son USD $8000. Ahora done por favor chascando el botón a la derecha de esta página y ayude a conectar a residentes de Syanjga con uno a y el resto del mundo.

Con los recursos financieros mínimos y confiando en la ayuda de sus voluntarios dedicados, NRIDS ha tenido éxito en establecer cinco centros de información de la comunidad (CICS) a través del districto de Syanjga en Nepal central. El CICS de Syangja se basa en un modelo adaptado cuidadosamente a las necesidades locales, y puede seguir siendo sostenible mientras que ofrece el entrenamiento de la computadora, servicios de negocio, y el acceso de información a los residentes de Syangja.

Desafortunadamente, cara del CICS de Syanjga una crisis de la conectividad. Este el CICS se liga al Internet a través de la red de datos celular de CDMA de Nepal. Esencialmente, esto significa que las aldeas enteras de Nepalis rural consiguen el email y que hojean el Internet con el equivalente del teléfono portátil que usted lleva adentro su bolsillo.

La recepción celular a través de Syangja es a menudo pobre. La anchura de banda de CDMA se manda la cuenta por el minuto, y como el CICS llega a ser cada vez más popular los costes se están levantando a los niveles prohibitivos.

Pegado en conexiones lentas, están cortando a muchas comunidades de Nepali de los recursos electrónicos que necesitan.

Usando el mismo hardware barato wi-fi instalado en hogares y coffeshops a través del mundo occidental, esperanzas de NRIDS de construir un repetidor sin hilos en una alta canto-tapa en el lago Kharsuko. Esta red sin hilos ligará el CICS de Syangja a uno a, y a una conexión de alta velocidad del Internet en la ciudad principal de Pokhara solamente 50 kilómetros lejos.

Una red sin hilos permitiría al CICS de Syangja ofrecer nuevos servicios para mejorar las vidas de ciudadanos locales:

* Más rápidamente, un acceso más estable del Internet en una fracción del coste
* Llamadas libres de la voz y del vídeo a partir de una aldea networked a otra
* Llamadas internacionales comprables a la familia que trabaja al exterior, permitiendo conversaciones sobre un semanario en vez de base mensual
* Programas de Telemedicine para conectar a doctores en los hospitales de Pokhara con las clínicas rurales en Syangja
* Los servicios centralmente recibidos para dar negocios y a comunidades una presencia en el Internet

Tracking the MDGs of Nepal!

District-level efforts in support of the MDGs

The MDG Report for 2005, prepared with the participation of a wide range of stakeholders, indicated that Nepal, despite the 12-year conflict, was likely or potentially able to meet all the Goals except universal primary education and HIV/AIDS. The Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper included analyses of sectoral policy from an MDG viewpoint. An MDG Needs Assessment, published in 2006, informed the three-year Interim Plan of the Government. With the conflict moving towards resolution, Nepal could achieve almost all the Goals.

An MDG Needs Assessment was conducted in one district, and five district MDG Progress Reports were prepared with the full participation of district-level stakeholders. A poverty monitoring and analysis system has been put in place at the national level, and a district system will follow. These systems, along with the NepalInfo database, capture most of the MDG indicators. A monitoring framework has been developed for the community level. The United Nations system, major donors and civil society organizations supported these initiatives.

These past efforts are now leading to concrete outcomes. The government has asked the United Nations for technical assistance to develop a package of initiatives to support national and local development strategies based on the MDGs and align them with the new Interim Plan. This will also form the basis for the preparation of a vision document, on which subsequent five-year plans will be based. The support involves: updating the MDG Needs Assessment and Costing; a macroeconomic framework and financing strategy consistent with the MDGs; identifying capacity development needs and tools to monitor the outcomes of MDG-based planning; and a framework for localizing the Goals at the subregional level. The United Nations is assisting the government in integrating the MDGs into its review of the Interim Plan, linking it to the Medium-term Expenditure Framework and the annual budget.

Major challenges include programmatic coordination and donor harmonization. Institutional weaknesses and capacity gaps also need to be addressed. The government is moving to align the MDGs with central planning and monitoring processes and to localize the Goals at national and district levels. But a resource crunch may also hamper achievement: It has been projected that a significant upscaling of interventions and a doubling of aid would be needed to meet the MDGs by 2015.

Farmers take to Internet surfing during leisure
Acerca de este evento: Internet Governance Forum 2007
Relacionado a un país: Nepal


SYANGJA, Oct 19 - Farmers here in Mayatari VDC of Syangja have grown a curious interest. After a long day's labor, many farmers here spend time at the village Community Information Center surfing the information superhighway.

Jagat Bahadur KC, one among such farmers who has become fond of information technology lately, quips, "Though I am a farmer by occupation, how can I stay detached from information technology in this age?"

"We learn about each and every thing going on in our district by coming to the Center," another farmer Ganga Bahadur Gurung says, "All the more, the internet even provides information about the whole world." Gurung says that he travels for an hour everyday from his village Pelkachaur VDC to learn computer in Mapatari VDC.

These zealous farmers got the chance to be acquainted with computers only after Nepal Rural Information and Technology Society brought two computers to Mapatari for the purpose. Members of the society bought the pair of computers with the sum collected from Deusi and Bhailo during Tihar festival.

The center is also a sharing ground for local farmers. It provides space for sticking personalized notices so that farmers here won't have to worry about buying or selling their cattle, or even searching for farmhands. According to chairman of the society Sudip Aryal, the society has extended such community clubs also to Bagalthok, Karendada, Rangkhola, Bayaraghari, Bayatari villages of Syangja and Kaskikot, Dhital and Dang villages of Kaski district.

Although the center also serves as a library where farmers can flip through newspapers, the center charges a nominal Rs 10 per hour to everyone interested in using the internet. Following the club's popularity, it has been receiving pressure from farmers in other neighboring villages, requesting extension of such services to their own villages.

ADB Assisting Nepal in Combating Corruption
Relacionado a un país: Nepal



MANILA, PHILIPPINES - The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is assisting Nepal in combating corruption by strengthening the capacity of concerned government institutions in fulfilling their respective mandates. The assistance is in line with the objectives outlined in the economic development plan of the impoverished South Asian nation.

“Good governance and strong institutions are central requirements for poverty reduction and economic growth. Effective anticorruption measures are at the core of good governance, as corruption erodes confidence in public institutions, depresses investment, slows development, and worsens poverty,” said Gambhir Bhatta, senior governance specialist of ADB’s South Asia Department.

The Technical Assistance to Nepal for Support to Anticorruption Institutions promotes good governance through stronger action against corruption in the public sector and greater accountability and transparency in government operations and service delivery. By reducing corruption and improving governance, ADB and Nepal hope to contribute to economic growth, poverty reduction and better development outcomes in the country.

ADB will provide a $400,000 grant for the project, estimated to cost $475,000. The government will cover the balance.

Improving governance and anticorruption practices is especially important for Nepal in its quest for sustainable development as outlined in the country’s Tenth Plan. With per capita income of about $311 a year and poverty incidence of 38%, Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world.

In 2007, Nepal was also perceived to be the 131st most corrupt country among the 179 included in the cross-country database compiled by Transparency International. Public expectations of how government officials should behave and how they should address the needs of the masses have risen considerably. A renewed focus on effectively addressing the corruption problem has accompanied these rising expectations.

The government has identified five institutions for the project. The first is the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse and Authority. The second is the Special Court, which prosecutes corruption cases. The third, National Vigilance Centre, primarily monitors asset declarations of public officials. The fourth is the Office of the Auditor General, a constitutional body that conducts independent audits and evaluations of public resource use and promotes and upholds public accountability. The fifth institution is the Public Accounts Committee, a select committee of the House of Representatives that examines the Public Accounts and the Report of the Auditor General to reduce misuse and abuse of public funds.

“These institutions play an important role in curbing corruption in Nepal. However, considerable work is required to improve their capacity, professionalism and outreach,” said Mr. Bhatta.

Here, Major daily newspapers like Kantipur, Gorkhapatra and Weekly, monthly newspapers are also available which the contribution from the Local people themselves was. Also the Villagers paste their notices on the notice board for advertisement of their production, services and goods. For example if a villager has to sell a buffalo then he comes to the CIC and makes the CIC volunteer to paste that news in the notice board.
In the capacity of NRIDS President (Mr.Sudip Aryal) presented the ideas of CIC.NRIDS expects that this CIC will turn to be a success in transforming Village with ICTs. This CIC has also decided to make village profile and Old People Experience book in near coming future. In this CIC the Technical research unit is also formed for the village technological advancement.
