Disaster Preparedness Network-Nepal (DPNet), established in 1996, stands as a key national umbrella organization dedicated to enhancing disaster management in Nepal through a unified approach involving national and international agencies. The core focus of DPNet is on fostering coordination, collaboration, learning, and sharing of experiences in strengthening disaster management practices. The organization plays a crucial role in knowledge management, capacity building, policy advocacy, and in facilitating networking among government and relevant stakeholders.
DPNet, in collaboration with the Institute of Himalayan Risk Reduction (IHRR), conducted a crucial stakeholder consultation workshop at Kathmandu, to discuss and refine the Training of Trainers (ToT) Manual for Humanitarian Response Management Training (HRMT). The workshop was technically supported by AWO International and Aktion Deutschland Hilft. The event brought together humanitarian practitioners, disaster response experts, trainers, and representatives from government and non-government organizations to discuss and provide input on the draft ToT manual.
