Summary

DPNet Nepal as a country focal point for Sphere Standard in Nepal is working to localize and institutionalize the Standard in Nepal. The video is a glimpse of the initiation taken by DPNet Nepal to localize Sphere in Nepal. The Sphere Handbook is a set of guidelines and standards developed for humanitarian response. It provides a framework for humanitarian actors involved in disaster response and recovery to ensure the quality and effectiveness of their interventions. The handbook covers four key life-saving areas: water supply, sanitation and hygiene promotion (WASH), food security and nutrition, shelter and settlement, and health. Widely recognized, the handbook is a reference for practitioners, offering a framework for designing, implementing, and evaluating humanitarian programs. Periodic revisions ensure its alignment with evolving best practices and lessons learned in the field, emphasizing quality, effectiveness, and accountability in humanitarian interventions.
