It details the various processes, tasks and interventions involved in designing and managing ODHR programmes. The Handbook focuses on two critical aspects of ODHR: (i) princi…
This SOP is prepared to make the inspection of housing reconstructions and retrofits easy and systematic for safer and strong construction on the basis of Grant Distribution Guidelines 2015, for reconstruction of houses that were damaged by the Nepal earthquake of April 25, 2015.
To facilitate all the stakeholders- home owners, beneficiaries, loca…
This working paper presents the findings from a pilot research project that investigated how disaster-affected households in low- and middle-income countries rebuild their homes in situations where little or no support is available from humanitarian agencies. The project was an interdisciplinary collaboration involving social scientists, geoscientists,…
This pedagogic document, prepared by the French Association for Earthquake Engineering, aims at applying these simple but efficient earthquake resistant principles to traditional houses in Nepalese high valley villages using available materials in these isolated places.
This manual is designed specifically for people in high remote valleys who may…
This report presents a detailed and qualitative assessment of housing, land and property (HLP) challenges and implications for the post-earthquake recovery in Nepal. It examines how right holders are identified in Nepal, how plots are registered and managed, and which laws are applicable (and applied in practice) in the country. Looking further than med…

This guide outlines the minimum requirements (MRs) for housing reconstruction from the Nepalese National Reconstruction Authority.
The MRs clearly state that for buildings with stone/brick masonry in mud mortar, the number of stories is restricted to only one story if wooden band is used, whereas if a reinforced concrete (RC) band is used, the allowabl…
This report presents the findings of two rounds of HRRP data collection on the production and use of Hollow Concrete Blocks (HCBs) across the districts affected by the 25 April 2015 Gorkha earthquake. The Nepal Standard: 119/2042 provides the minimum requirements for HCBs in construction in Nepal. HCBs are pre-cast cement concrete blocks with one or mor…
This research collects and documents the experiences of women in reconstruction at community level, district level, and national level after the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal. Quantitative data was collected from 679 respondents; 304 respondents who are going through, or have completed, the reconstruction of their house, 226 respondents that…
The Gorkha Earthquake, which struck Nepal on 25 April 2015, caused widespread damage and loss of life across almost 50% of the country. A Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) identified 32 districts as earthquake affected, across five different categories of impact: severely hit, crisis hit, hit with heavy losses, hit, and slightly affected.
This rep…
This report presents the Save the Children's one-year response and recovery efforts to the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal.
The Save the Children's earthquake response intervention set out to reach 600,000 affected people over a three year period, of whom half would be children. Ninety-eight percent of that target was reached within the first yea…
This booklet captures the key efforts undertaken and results achieved over the past three years by UNDP in line with the vision articulated in its Strategy for Earthquake Recovery Assistance: including strengthening the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) while making recovery planning and coordination effective; resurrecting community infrastructur…
