WATER RECHARGE PONDS

United Mission to Nepal (UMN) has been serving the people of Nepal since 1954. UMN is implementing the Climate Change Impacts Mitigation and Adaptation for Environmental Sustainability (CLIMATES) project in Doti and Bajhang Districts with funding support from Normisjon and in partnership with its local partners, Rural Community Development Centre (RCDC) in Doti and Dalit Help Society (DHS) in Bajhang.

UMN will give priority to consultants with a background in environmental science and/or natural resource management, and with research experience in climate change adaptation and natural resource management.
