Kathmandu: In collaboration with the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA), the UN Development Program, and the UN Office for Project Services, India has successfully reconstructed 50,000 dwellings in Nepal's Gorkha and Nuwakot districts.
The Indian Embassy in Kathmandu held a function on Monday to commemorate the occasion, at which Namgya C. Khampa, Deputy Chief of Mission, announced that the Owner Driven Reconstruction Approach adopted by Kathmandu has resulted in the completion of 50,000 private houses, as pledged by the Centre in New Delhi.
Sushil Gyawali, the Chief Executive of Nepal's National Reconstruction Authority, was in attendance, as were the Mayors of Gorkha and Nuwakot districts, as well as other representatives from Kathmandu-based donor agencies. To speed up the restoration process, the Nepalese government established the Nepal Reconstruction Authority (NRA), whose major goal is to quickly repair the physical damage caused by the enormous earthquakes of April 25 and May 12, 2015, as well as their aftershocks.
The UNDP and UNOPS signed an agreement with the Indian government in March 2018 to provide socio-technical facilitation and consultation (STFC) services to earthquake victims in four urban municipalities and 14 rural municipalities across two districts. For this, India has pledged USD150 million in post-earthquake housing assistance, comprising a USD100 million grant and USD50 million under our Fourth Line of Credit, to provide financial and technical help for the reconstruction of 50,000 homes.
