International Conference on Nepal’s Reconstruction

Summary

The cataclysmic trembler of 25 April 2015 (7.8 Mw) and its aftershocks devastated US $ 7 billion worth of infrastructure, killed 8,790 lives and injured 22,300 people. Despite pervasive scepticism, the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) concluded reconstruction of nearly 760,000 private houses (92%), nearly 7000 school buildings (88%), nearly 800 health buildings (65%), nearly 400 government buildings (94%) and nearly 600 heritage monuments (64%). This globally largest owner driven housing reconstruction and unprecedented reconstruction and recovery were realised with pragmatic strategies, down to earth leadership style and coordinated efforts among governmental and development partners.
