This report is prepared with technical assistance from UNDP, on behalf of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The findings are intended to support the Government of Nepal and other developing countries, to prepare and implement comprehensive and strategic approaches to disaster risk management. This is the first study of its kind, undertaken to systematically explore the use of economic Foreword and financial tools in a comprehensive fashion to strengthen the management capacity for disaster risk reduction.
The report has captured several factors linked to disasters, such as demographic growth, rapid urban expansion, weak land use planning, growth of informal settlements, poor construction methods, steep land farming practice, encroachment of river plain and forest areas and environmental degradation, taking into account higher incidences of drought, floods, water-induced falls and Glacial Lake Outburst Floods(GLOFs) due to climate change.
