In May 2009, the Government of Nepal (GoN) launched the comprehensive Nepal Disaster Risk Reduction Consortium (NRRC). Under the leadership of the Government of Nepal, the NRRC brings together international financial institutions such as the Asian Development Bank and the World bank, development partners, Red Cross / Red Crescent Movement, NGOSs and the United Nations (UN) in an ambitious program to coordinate and fund disaster preparedness and risk reduction. The consortium recognizes that no single agency alone can address Nepal’s disaster risk and that a coordinated effort that builds on the strengths and mandates of its members will provide a comprehensive approach to risk reduction. The NRRC bridges the humanitarian and development divide, and enables coordination between long-term national infrastructure development and community based risk reduction initiatives.
