An international Consortium was formed in May 2009 to support the Government of Nepal in developing a long term Disaster Risk Reduction Action Plan building on the National Strategy for Disaster Risk Management (NSDRM). Members of the Consortium are the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) and the World Bank In addition, the Consortium initiated a multi stakeholder participatory process with the Government of Nepal and civil society organizations to identify short to medium term disaster risk reduction priorities that are both urgent and viable within the current institutional and policy arrangements in the country. Based on Government priorities and discussions with multi stakeholder groups, the Consortium members and government identified five flagship areas of immediate action for disaster risk management in Nepal.In developing the programme, the priorities outlined in the ‘Hyogo Framework of Action 2005-2015, Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters’, and the Outcomes of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (2009), which sets out specific targets for reducing losses from disasters, were taken into account.
