International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction 2023 Celebrated
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), facilitated a stakeholder consultation workshop on May 30, 2025, in Kathmandu to refine the Training of Trainers (ToT) Manual for Humanitarian Response Management Training. Supported by AWO International and Aktion Deutschland Hilft, the workshop gathered experts to ensure the manual addresses key issues such as anticipatory action, early warning systems, safeguarding, GEDSI, and local ownership. Key recommendations included practical, scenario-based training, integration of digital tools, enhanced coordination, and mechanisms to avoid duplication. The workshop concluded with a commitment to build a skilled humanitarian workforce and strengthen real-time response systems.
