This report is a mid-term performance evaluation of USAID/Nepal’s Hariyo Ban (HB) project. HB is USAID/Nepal’s flagship project under the natural resources management and climate change sector. It is a five-year project with a total budget just over USD 29.9 million that began in August 2011. The overall goal of HB is to reduce adverse impacts of climate change and threats to biodiversity in Nepal. The HB project is implemented in two nationally important biodiverse landscapes: Chitwan-Annapurna Landscape (CHAL) and Terai Arc Landscape (TAL). HB is implemented by the World Wildlife Fund, along with CARE, National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC), and Federation of Community Forestry Users Nepal (FECOFUN).
