On 25 April 2015, a devastating earthquake hit Nepal causing severe destruction of lives and property in 14 of the country’s 75 districts. This was followed by another severe earthquake on 12 May which further worsened the humanitarian situation.The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) which has an on-going multi-sectoral development programme in the country mobilised in a substantive way to respond to the crisis. UNDP’s response was geared toward developing an integrated programmatic and operational plan that both responded to the immediate needs of the crisis.
The CB endorsed candidates for surge deployment. UNDP now has over 400 staff on its surge roster, of which about 250 were trained in crisis response by UNDP. Besides this,UNDP has a roster of consultants and six stand-by partners who provide pro bono services.
