Summary

Following the 25th April 2015 Gorkha Earthquake, the Government of Nepal (GoN) launched the owner driven housing reconstruction programme which combines financial assistance from the GoN with socio-technical assistance. The PDNA calls for “a cascading socio-technical facilitation mechanism for recovery support at the national, district and local level”, which when combined with the financial grant from the GoN will “empower households to lead their own recovery efforts” in compliance with “safe construction standards”.
