This document is an event report of a workshop conducted in Saptari District. The workshop marked the final consultation in a series of seven planned across different provinces. The participants actively engaged in group exercises, presentations, and discussions to contribute to strengthening the country’s disaster resilience and integrating disaster risk reduction into long-term development plans from 2017 to 2030, aligning with the Sendai Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) framework. The workshop included presentations on current policies and legislation, local DRR initiatives, lessons from local-level DRR projects, and updates on the National DRR Policy and Strategic Action Plan. Participants were divided into four groups based on Sendai’s priority actions to provide input on the National DRR policy and action plan, focusing on understanding disaster risks, enhancing disaster risk governance, investing in DRR for resilience, and improving disaster preparedness and recovery efforts.
