KAPRIMO is a participatory approach in the field of river conservation. It aims to develop, implement and demonstrate a functional and non-conventional river monitoring system, which will stand alone as the backbone and pioneering step towards the restoration process of the rivers of the Kathmandu Valley. It is expected that KAPRIMO will serve as a catalyst for basin and nation-wide river monitoring and conservation planning. The project is designed in a way to be replicated on a regional, national or international level, establishing it as a model for Nepal and South Asia
Solid waste is one of the major problems of Kathmandu Valley. Solid waste is scattered in nook and corner of the city and piles of solid waste are seen even along the busy roads. The major reason for this is frequent strikes in the country and lack of knowledge on proper management of waste material. To mitigate the lack of knowledge and awareness, KAPRIMO-ECCA and Kathmandu Metropolitan City Office jointly organized a two day Waste management training program in participation with a local club, United Youth Club. The main objective of this training is to create pollution free, clean, green Kathmandu city. The training was conducted on 28 and 29 July 2007. About 47 women participated in the training program.
