A Visit to Three Potential Municipalities for Consolidation Phase of KVERMP
A visit to three potential municipalities, namely Vyas, Pokhara and Banepa, was carried out in order to assess needs and feasibility of these three municipalities to be targeted areas for implementation of activities under consolidation phase of the Kathmandu Valley Earthquake Risk Management Project (KVERMP) of ADPC. The visit was facilitated by representatives of the National Society of Earthquake Technology-Nepal (NSET-Nepal), the project’s implementor.
Meeting with key stakeholders in each municipality was conducted. The results were positive as all three municipalities agreed to offer their full cooperation in carrying out activities proposed by NSET-Nepal in its effort to further replicate its success from KVERMP in these three municipalities. In this regard, it was felt that it would be prudent to consider each municipality separately since their capacities and the needs are different. Therefore, NSET-Nepal was requested to identify the needs of each municipality and prioritize them for formulating the respective Work Plan for each municipality. Presently, NSET-Nepal is undertaking a preliminary outline work schedule for each municipality to be submitted to AUDMP/ADPC in due course.
