The programmes will be implemented in Achham, Kaski, Rupandehi, Dolakha, Kabhre, Dhanusha, Udayapur and Tehrathum districts under existing UNDP projects. Of this amount $3 million will be provided to district development committees in instalments while the remainder will be spent on human resources development and technical assistance. District and village development committees will allocate the money to specific projects.
