UNDP Nepal is planning to handover Socio-Economic Vulnerability Management Information Systems (SEVIMS) to Barekot Rural Municipality in Karnali Province. SEVIMS is digital system developed to analyze and update socio-economic vulnerability information of all communities and individuals living within boundaries of municipality. The system will facilitate effective decision-making particularly in the context of crisis induced by disasters, shocks, pandemics and climate change adaptation or even in regular development impacts. SEVIMS is designed to collect, manage, and analyze data related to socio-economic vulnerability, including information on demographics, livelihoods, income, employment, infrastructure, access to public services, health, education, food security, natural resources and resilience. Municipality has plans to mobilize data collection as required to updating the SEVIMS through field survey. However, due to lack of technical expertise on data quality assurance, less human resource to coordinate and mobilize enumerators, need to coordinate with developer company on daily and issue basis, Municipality is seeking UNDP to support them on technical aspect of establishing robust SEVIMS.  The training and relevant technical capacity to ward authorities needs further support for sustainability of the SEVIMS Operation.

In this regard, UNDP Nepal/ SAMBOHAN Project is looking for a NGOs/Organizations/Service Providers, who could provide technical support to Barekot Rural municipality and its ward offices in Karnali Province to enable them to collect data, analyze and build capacity to smooth functioning of SEVIMS
