DIPECHO Background
ActionAid has been implementing DIPECHO project in Nepal since 2006 and has gained considerable experience under third and fourth action plans, reaching out to nearly 130,000 people, both urban and rural, in five districts. The learning from previous projects was instrumental in designing the DIPECHO V project, giving equal emphasis on community empowerment as well as advocacy for an enabling policy environment.

The current project titled Surakshit Samudaya II: Building disaster resilient communities, Nepal” is funded by European Commission Humanitarian Aid department under the fifth DIPECHO Action Plan for South Asia, co-financed by Australian Government through AusAid with ActionAid UK and ActionAid Australia as the partners to the donor with responsibility of field implementation by ActionAid Nepal.

ActionAid has entered into a strategic partnership with Practical Action Nepal wherein ActionAid will offer Participatory Vulnerability Analysis tools, techniques and processes to Practical Action DIPECHO project team. Practical Action will provide technical support to establish and maintain community based early warning systems in the project locations of ActionAid. ActionAid will also work very closely with other DIPECHO partners and other DRR stakeholders in Nepal towards unified approach to disaster risk reduction, strengthening grassroots approaches while contributing to national DRR initiatives for a strong and efficient policy framework.
