This Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) is the outcome of an exhaustive participatory exercise led by the National Planning Commission (NPC) with generous assistance of national experts and institutions, neighbouring countries and development partners. As a result of the two major earthquakes that struck Nepal on 25 April and 12 May 2015, nearly 9,000 lives and over a half a million homes have been destroyed. This is a colossal loss for an impoverished country like ours at a time when we were focused on attracting investments to put Nepal on a path of high and sustained economic growth.
Though there has been an acute need to augment our capacities, efforts on relief and early recovery have gone on undaunted over the past few weeks. This PDNA exercise was launched simultaneously to take stock of our damage, loss and needs so far. This report now equips us with a well rounded view of the scale of devastation and an outline recovery strategy to chart the course for reconstruction and rehabilitation. The assessment and recovery planning process has paid particular attention to the issue of social inclusion of the most marginalised and vulnerable groups, including women, children, the aged, persons with disabilities.
