How can we plan to manage Reconstruction Authority for achieving national target and meet reconstruction and resettlement expectancy?
Reconstruction Authority of Nepal - 2072
Work Functions
1. Plan
2. Resettlement
3. Implementation of Long-term Plan
Allocation of 700 billion budget (74 billion budget now) i.e. One third of National GDP (approx).
Considering the fact that out of 75 districts, 39 districts have been affected by the Mega-quake 2072. The GoN has declared 14 districts problematic for 1 year 2 months before.
My Suggestion Plan:
1. Prioritizing locals and earthquake victims in the sector where capital expenditure is made so that they can be employed in one means and the nation also can achieve target of infrastructure development (transmission line extension, hydel project construction, roads expansion, etc. as included in the national budget FY 2072/073).
2. Resettlement based on sustainability (sustainable growth with employment can be helpful in attaining or tending to attain millennium goal development, help in growth of per capita income, similarly its effect can be seen at growth of national real GDP through production increase and better human development index (HDI) and others' at macro level.
3. Concentrated community based plan for resettlement as per the demography of districts (planned community with demographic concentration avoids remote area land occupancy - target that let people explore the remote areas, tourism promotion at such areas, and let agriculture and farming be based on such unused spaces)
4. Identification of real reconstruction areas apart from resettlement of people like (monuments under listed under conservation plan, historical places and monument icons, etc) - major promotion to target the tourism industries and other productive (handicraft, SMEs' with enhancement on technical skills - OJT also will be the best measure) industries.
Challenges:
1. Good governance, transparency & political lobbing
2. Allocation of small portion of national budget in capital expenditure and lack of effective expenditure of allocated budget
3. Allocation of huge portion of national budget in current expenditure
4. Absence of short and long term plan subjected to budget freeze
5. Meeting target, based on fiscal and monetary policy for growth & attainment of projected indicators
6. Work execution based on trial and error method
7. Effective intra-ministrial co-ordination and communication for development and planning
