Nepal Risk Reduction Consortium

A Consortium of ADB, IFRC, UNDP, UNOCHA, UNISDR, and World Bank was formed in May 2009 to support the Government of Nepal in developing a Disaster Risk Reduction Action Plan building on the National Strategy for Disaster Risk Management (NSDRM). The Nepal Risk Reduction Consortium initiated consultations with key stakeholders to identify disaster risk reduction priorities that are both urgent and viable. Consortium members and government developed a draft program proposal which identified five flagship areas. Consortium members act as coordinators for these flagship areas.
