Project Area
Ilam, Parsa
A decade-long armed conflict destroyed more than 768 Police Units (PUs) around the country. Accordingly, Nepal Police (NP) has been undertaking reconstruction of Police Units over the past few years.
This phase of the PU reconstruction project seeks to reconstruct 43 PUs in 23 districts across the country. The reconstruction process is expected to enhance the service delivery capabilities of NP by enabling it to provide a comfortable, gender-friendly and accessible infrastructure, and effective security services to the communities. This assignment is undertaken to collect baseline information on a number of agreed indicators including a sense of security among locals, access to police services, crime levels, and sense of satisfaction among Police Personnel in the proposed locations of PU reconstruction.
Objective
The assignment sought to carry out a study to collect quantitative and qualitative information on selected indicators from the 43 PUs and their surrounding communities in 23 districts prior to PU reconstruction. These indicators would serve as a baseline against which projects output, outcome and impact will be assessed in the future.
