This report is the result of a year-long effort to assess the disaster resilience of Nepal leading up to the earthquakes, and the response efforts, domestic and international. The report is researched and written with an eye toward informing Nepal’s reconstruction efforts, and improving future response efforts, both domestic and international. The majority of the takeaway lessons put forward herein are relevant to other disaster-prone countries dealing with all kinds of natural disasters as well - and they are important lessons for domestic governments and international donors alike.
