Assessments, Design and Technical Supervision Services for Disaster Mitigation Infrastructure Project in Dullu Municipality, Dailekh
Description
Nepal is prone to a range of natural disasters, including floods, landslides, fires, earthquakes, and disease outbreaks. In the wake of recent tragedies in the country, including the massive 2015 Gorkha earthquake, USAID introduced Tayar Nepal activity. Tayar Nepal is USAID's flagship disaster preparedness and response project for Nepal. Tayar which means "prepared" —strengthens the capacity of Nepal's disaster risk management (DRM) and preparedness institutions. At the national level USAID's Tayar Nepal builds the capacity of disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) institutions, which includes Ministry of Federal Affairs (MoFAGA), Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA), National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA).At the municipal level, USAID's Tayar Nepal's interventions support municipalities to fulfill their DRM roles in the broader federal disaster management system by building capacity in preparedness, response, and helping them understand and address the risks that face their constituents. In USAID's Tayar Nepal Project Year 5 Annual Work Plan, USAID's Tayar Nepal Project has identified a potential disaster mitigation intervention in Dullu Municipality. USAID's Tayar Field team in consultation with the municipal government identified priority projects that USAID's Tayar Nepal will provide financial and technical assistance to, including construction oversight during implementation. USAID's Tayar Nepal will support following major disaster mitigation projects in the Dullu Municipality:
