Editor's Notes

• #4: Estd date: 2003 registered in DAO in 2007 Objectives: 1) To aware and sensitize people at risks to prepare and cope with impending disaster 2) To reduce the vulnerability caused by different hazards and promote sustainable mitigation measures 3) To contribute in seismic risk assessment, particularly in the earthquake context 4) To advocate for favorable and supportive policy environment for effective implementation of DRR and CCA initiatives in both rural and urban areas 5) To increase the effectiveness of civil society and promote the role of civilians to contribute towards building resilient communities 6) To implement project, conduct research, case studies, lessons learned and good practices for wider dissemination

• #10: We believe the resilient society can be achieved from research and development, identifying the gaps and building capacity of the communities. It is also necessary to document the knowledge that the community already possess and the knowledge gained from implementation of various activities for community development and disaster risk reduction in the community. It in turn will help to lobby in policies which will lead to a sustainable change in the society. And further demanding research and development in a cycl;ic form. R&D Technical feasibility, need assessment for DRR and CCA and humanitarian response Baseline survey; KAP (knowledge, attitude and practice) survey; gap and phasing out study Participatory Vulnerability Analysis and protection related assessment- DRR and CCA related Monitoring and Evaluation - Specialized study on seismic assessment, WASH, SPHERE, inclusive development Knowledge Management Good Practices and Lesson Learnt Studies Case studies Publications Capacity Building DRR and CCA capacity building initiatives Participatory project planning Prepare manual on DRR and CCA Policy Advocacy
• #11: These projects exhibit the ability of NDRC to deliver support for the pioneer activities in DRR and CCA in larger scale as well as independently implement the projects in community.
• #14: Formation of DMC in 7 VDCs Orientation and training on DRR and CCA in 6 VDCs Construction of Bamboo Spurs (Bio engineering) in river banks Establishment of meteorological station in 2 schools Flood measurement gauge stations in upstream and downstream DRR activities through school—incorporation of DRR and CCA issues in ECA activities of 7 schools
• #18: Formation of DMC in 7 VDCs Orientation and training on DRR and CCA in 6 VDCs Construction of Bamboo Spurs (Bio engineering) in river banks Establishment of meteorological station in 2 schools Flood measurement gauge stations in upstream and downstream DRR activities through school—incorporation of DRR and CCA issues in ECA activities of 7 schools
• #20: Development of Baseline Indicators/status - Assisted agencies to develop baseline indicators in line with the project objectives - These indicators guide agencies for monitoring and evaluation of projects The baseline status derived from qualitative and quantitative assessments allows comparison during end line review and evaluation For instance- Nepal India transboundary Flood Resilience Project, Impact of Earthquake on OP and PwDs, name of Project (s) Instrument/tools design - Develop the appropriate tools for the research, monitoring and evaluation of the projects - Focus on mixed approach of research for precise and authentic information from the field - Include theoretical perspective in the research as far as possible such as “livelihood approach”, XXXXXX - Seek alignment with the national and international policy - Provide support to local partners to develop instruments/tools For e.g. : Supported IFS for Baseline study of Children with Disability and KAP survey of Disaster Preparedness schools in Makwanpur and Sindhuli; Supported Maitri Management Pvt Ltd for Assessment of Livelihood Opportunities for Poor and Vulnerable HH in Eastern Terai Region. Capacity Builiding - Production of materials such toolkits, training manuals and guidelines for training - Delivery of trainings to the target audience ranging from school children to government officials - Availability of human resources experienced in training delivery in DRR, using statistical packages, CCA and GIS - For eg: Safe School Tool Kit (2013) ; Two phases of Training on Disaster Data Collection and Analysis (Focusing on GIS, excel, Microsoft word) delivered to DEOC staff and other stakeholders Policy Review An inseparable ingredient of evaluations and knowledge documentation and review exercises Reviewed policies of DRR, CCA and Livelihood in course of relevant exercises 2 policy review specific exercises For instance: Safe School Policies and Practices: Good Practices, Gaps, Implications and The Way Forward (2013), Formulation of Standard Operating Procedures for Disaster Response (2007) Knowledge Management Experience of conducting 6 Lessons learnt, Good practices and Gap analysis Knowledge documentation of the project activities and achievements for eg: Payment For Environmental Services in Chitwan Annapurna Landscape (2016) Publications of the case studies and learning of the projects Eg: Broadening the Scope of School Curricula : Extracurricular activities and drills increase children’s confidence regarding DRR and CCA) (insert hyperlink). Needs and constraints of Early Warning System Practices in Nepal, good practices on DRR in Central and Mid western Development regions, Good Practices generated by FAO on DR, Good Practices of CCA and DRR in Nepal etc. Monitoring an evaluation 15 projects of Monitoring, evaluation and endline review exercises Guided the projects to make necessary changes for successful achievement of project objective Provided strategic recommendation for the scale up of the project Provided programmatic recommendation for filling the existing gaps of the project Eg: Evaluation of 'Community Preparedness for Disaster Risk Reduction in Central and Eastern Nepal.' (2008), Joint evaluation of DIPECHO Projects V in Nepal (DRR) (2010), Evaluation of EOCs (Emergency Operation Centres) (2015) Mobile based data Collection ???
