Strengthening Urban Preparedness and Earthquake Response in Western region of Nepal (SUPER-II)
Building on past urban preparedness and drawing learnings from recent disasters, the action aims to institutionalize operational urban and earthquake preparedness and response in targeted provinces and municipalities and link it with federal mechanism. With inclusion at the heart of the action, addressing specific needs of vulnerable groups especially women, children and persons with disabilities, it also intends to upscale interventions in project area and beyond. The key result areas: i)Government-led operational system for urban and earthquake preparedness institutionalized at provincial and local level for effective response ii) Coordination and information management strengthened at provincial and municipal levels, aligned with national framework, for disaster risk governance; iii) Enhanced policy engagement for scalability of disaster preparedness and response mechanism at federal, provincial, and local levels.It has been identified based on deeper risk analysis, consultation with federal, provincial, and municipal governments and development partners engaged in similar interventions, lessons learned from the recent earthquakes including Jajarkot earthquake & learnings from SUPER. Under the leadership of the NDRRMA, provincial government and municipalities, the project will be implemented by a UNDP led consortium with UNICEF and UN WOMEN and HI, and in close coordination with RCO, WHO, PIN, NRCS, CSOs and other development partners and will engage parliamentarians, various association of municipalities, government training institutions, media and private sector. In the ongoing federalization context, the Action aims to institutionalize urban preparedness including continuity of essential services such as ambulance, fire service, water supply, electricity, access for relief etc. through policy and procedures, knowledge transfer and capacity development, financing arrangement and partnership and will contribute to create environment for upscaling.
