Mid-Term Evaluation For People To People Support For Building Community Resilience Through Recovery And Reconstruction In Nepal Project

This internal mid-term evaluation of the Royal Thai Government funded project ‘People to People Support for Building Community Resilience through Recovery and Reconstruction in Nepal’ was conducted between 22nd July and 30th September 2019. Through this project, the International Organization for Migration – UN Migration Agency is supporting eight rural and urban municipalities in Nepal in building resilience to natural hazards and man-made disasters. It does so through three outputs: 1) construct multipurpose evacuation centres in each of the eight municipalities to be used by the community during normal circumstances and by vulnerable populations in the community during disasters; 2) identify and map open spaces using Geographic Information System; and 3) train newly elected local government officials and community members to mainstream reconstruction in local development plans. This evaluation was carried out through a desk review of relevant documents, such as monthly progress reports, as well as through interviews conducted with individuals representing different relevant stakeholder groups.
