Since March 2025, ForestAction Nepal has been undertaking Building Agroforestry-based Adaptation Plans for Resilient Floodplains (BAGAR) project in collaboration with Heifer International Nepal in Gadhimai Municipality of Rautahat District and Marin Rural Municipality of Sindhuli district. A field visit was initiated from 2nd – 12th September 2025 to conduct FGDs, KIIs and household survey to collect necessary information for Gadhimai Municipality-level Agroforestry Guideline. FGDs were held in nine EBA (Ecosystem-based Adaptation) forums where among 126 participants, 36 women and 90 men participated. Simultaneously, 10 KIIs were conducted with the major stakeholders (5 ward chairpersons, 4 agro farmers, and a mayor), along with 61 household surveys to gather the information for the guideline.
