The CDRMP will also establish strategic linkages between DRM and development sectors.

The initiative’s overall objective is to accelerate sustainable achievement of MDG target 1 (Poverty and Hunger Reduction) and 7 (Environmental Sustainability) among high risk marginalized communities in two highly vulnerable districts of Nepal. The initiative will focus on the Riu-Khola Watershed (Chitwan) and on the Sindhukhola Watershed (Sindhupalchok). The key expected results of the project include:
• Sustainably increase incomes and food security in high-risk households in 9 VDCs in 2 selected sub-watersheds currently facing environment degradation and at high risk from natural hazards.
• Sustain and increase the percentage of land covered by forests and wetlands in target areas through the use of proven environmentally sustainable practices to contribute to livelihood improvement of poor and vulnerable communities.
• Promote active knowledge exchange between Korean experts, UN agencies and Government departments to fast track action on MDG Target 7 to “Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programs and reverse the loss of environmental resources
