Over three months have passed since the two major earthquakes of 25 April and 12 May devastated Nepal, leaving 8,898 people dead of which 2,661 (30 per cent) were children and 22,309 injured. 1 The overall humanitarian situation has improved and response efforts are transitioning from an emergency to a recovery phase guided by the findings and principles from the Government-led Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA).The key focus of the overall recovery phase is ensuring more sustainable programmes and solutions as opposed to temporary solutions. In WASH, focus is shifting to installing and providing more of the sustained water supply (after the monsoon) and sanitation facilities as opposed to emergency water and sanitation mechanisms. Education sector is in the transition process of establishing the next phase of the Temporary Learning Centres (TLCs). These TLCs are designed with CGI roofs which are more sustainable than tarpaulins. Health sector is also shifting its programme focus from provision of temporary tents to providing health services in pre-fabricated buildings. UNICEF along with Plan International, Save the Children, World Vision and the Government conducted one of the largest ever children’s consultations following a disaster.
