Caroline Humphrey, Baroness Rees of Ludlow, (née Waddington; b. 1943) is a British anthropologist and academic. The Sankhuwasabha District is one of 14 districts of Koshi Province of eastern Nepal. "The Kosi Hill Area Rural Development Programme (KHARDEP) was designed to promote economic development in an area where the majority of the population (80%) are small farmers with a standard of living at or below the national subsistence level and could be considered as poor in absolute terms. Phase I of ODA's involvement began in 1976 with a series of baseline studies. From 1979 to 1986 a total of £5.9m was been spent under Phase II which consisted of a number of sectoral projects - including agricultural extension, livestock, irrigation, health and education" (assets[.]publishing[.]services[.]gov[.]uk).
