The impact of the Project will be more qualified human resources equitably developed (School Sector Development Plan) . The outcome will be safer schools and communities and improved learning environment developed. The outputs will be (a) heavily damaged public school infrastructure reconstructed and facilities improved; (b) unsafe public schools retrofitted and disaster exposure reduced; and (c) institutional capacity for management and disaster resilience strengthened.

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Three natural disasters threaten school infrastructure in Nepal: earthquakes, landslides and flood. Records show that the risks linked to an earthquake in terms of casualties, number of affected persons and physical damages remains the greatest of all. Making school infrastructure resilient to earthquakes is a clear priority and doing so would make them resistant to flood and landslide damages as well. The Project would mainstream the reconstruction and retrofitting of the most vulnerable schools in the 14 affected districts of Nepal. A DRR education program would complement the retrofitting effort. The proposed Project would pilot a community based retrofitting and DRR education program in 6 selected municipalities from different typical geographical areas of the 14 most affected districts. The objective is also to train the remote communities to replicate the good practice in future GON funding |
