Food for Thought - Issue 22009-12-31
In Nepal 3.7 million people are currently food insecure and each year an average of 1,000 are killed in natural disasters. In the south of the country 100,000 displaced flood victims returned home this year, while in the north tens of thousands left their infertile land to find work abroad. During the past 18 months the price of staple commodities has increased by up to 30 – 70 percent, and the government-owned oil corporation almost went bankrupt trying to maintain subsidized fuel costs. The nation is hundreds of housands of tons food deficit following two of the worst winter droughts on record and a summer marred by late and erratic rainfall. In the capital city,power outages and water shortages are a daily occurrence.

Food for Thought - Issue 12009-03-31
Contrary to popular expectation, since the signing of a national peace agreement in 2006, and Nepal’s first democratic elections as a republic in 2008, social and political unrest in the form of bandhs and politically motivated labour strikes have not only continued, but intensified. As a strike wave sweeps across the country, it appears that neither government appeal nor political party agreement to curb such action, has had significant affect; particularly as government affiliated organisations continue to facilitate these damaging activities.
