Some of the major findings from the PSS results are mentioned here under: 87% of the reconstruction stakeholders stated that they have improved capacity for decision making to support housing reconstruction of vulnerable households.  78% partners have used HRRP information products for decision making. The most often used information products are: HRRP monthly bulletins, palika profiles and research reports. 83% of the government respondents stated that they have used EHRP MIS to access information on reconstruction and recovery. 73% of the government respondents stated that they have used NRA PMIS to access information on reconstruction and recovery.. 18% NGOs and 36% INGOs have used 5W to access information on recovery and reconstruction. 86% of the respondents stated that sharing experiences, lessons learned and best practices of reconstruction stakeholders are very useful. The PSS respondents suggested HRRP to publish and share the achievement and lessons learned documents as many of the reconstruction partners have wrapped up their projects. HRRP should focus on the exit strategy of NRA and should try to reach at the local government level.  Workshop on extension of Masonry houses built under NRA's private housing reconstruction efforts, 22 March 2021 Photo credit: NRA On 22 March, a half day "Workshop on Extension and Maintenance of Masonry Buildings Built during the Housing Reconstruction Programme" was conducted as a part of the International Conference on Nepal's Reconstruction (ICNR). The workshop was organized by the NRA/ CLPIU -Building and supported by NSET-USAID-supported Baliyo Ghar Program. The workshop was planned for a wider discussion on the philosophy, approach and technical specifications highlighted in the guidelines and to discuss them in a wider arena. The workshop was intended to further support the development of the guideline as well as in standardization and approval process as per the standardization policy of the NRA. This guideline is prepared so that technical human resources engaged in house construction can apply earthquake resilient elements while extending additional rooms in their houses to meet their family requirements in rural areas.  Mr. Jhapper Singh Bishwakarma, Deputy Project Director at NRA/CLPIU-Building and Mr. Ranjan Dhungel, Program Manager, Baliyo Ghar Program/NSET, jointly presented on the key points of the work procedural guideline along with engineering drawing and designs that are useful for engineers and technical persons engaged in house reconstruction. The Executive Committee Member of NRA, Dr. Hariram Parajuli and international experts Mr. Jitendra Bothara from New Zealand and Mr. Bibek Rawal from India provided expert opinion on the work procedural guideline prepared by CLPIU-Building with technical support from NSET. The work procedural guideline will be applicable after the endorsement from NRA Executive Committee.

The training focused on scoring methods to assess hydro-geohazards in the mountainous region based on  identified and analysed parameters of water-induced hazards in the mountain region. Scoring method is a simple tool to identify potential risks of water-induced hazards analysed based on scoring method against each of identified parameters namely: landslide, soil erosion, gullies, additional water coming to gullies, roads, protected forest, abandoned land, water resource, farm terrace, village trails, migration gender & special impacted groups (SIG), all of which are inter-linked to one another. The tool basically helps local leaders and those at the managerial positions in local governments to take prompt, immediate protective measures to protect lives and properties of local populations based on informed decisions. In addition, it provides a basis for the local, provincial and federal government to make policy decisions in accordance with the current policies, guidelines and national policy framework on disaster risk reduction and management.  The tool enables local governments to prioritize DRR strategy and navigate the monitoring framework of the DRR goals within local targets, contributing to national data sources. Further, draft guidelines for resettlement planning for the communities affected by natural disaster in the hilly region of Nepal was also presented and discussed during the training session. NDRRMA strives to achieve its intended results outlined in the Disaster Risk Reduction Plan of Action 2018-2030 with active engagement of local governments.

Shrestha, 25, shared her experiences and challenges faced during her reconstruction journey. Earthquake affected beneficiaries were also reluctant to build the house complying the NRA guidelines due to high cost and unclear grant distribution policy of NRA. Frequent change in NRA rules and regulations and different housing design catalogs also made it problematic to initiate reconstruction in the beginning. She further said, "House owners started reconstructing houses without aligning with the standards set by NRA because those design catalogs fail to address the needs and intentions of house owners." Overcoming all those odds and challenges faced during reconstruction, Ms. Shrestha is giving her best to complete private housing reconstruction in her assigned wards within the time frame of NRA. Her majority task now, is to give priority to housing reconstruction of vulnerable beneficiaries. Along with mobile mason and social mobilizers, she is doing door-to-door visits to render technical assistance to low cost housing reconstruction. She guides house owners on how to build earthquake resistant housing techniques, and also orient them to build houses following the building code. She did regular field monitoring to inspect housing under construction and provide onsite coaching.
