Recovery for Cultural Heritage Nepal after 2015 earthquake

Launching a large-scale recovery programme following a major disaster takes a commitment of financial and human resources and a concerted multi-pronged effort to address short-term requirements, develop a policy and institutional framework, design a financing strategy, and put implementation arrangements in place.

Assessments showed that at least 498,852 private houses and 2,656 government buildings were destroyed.  Another 256,697 private houses and 3,622 government buildings were partially damaged. Villages were flattened and people were made homeless across 31 districts, with 14 districts suffering the highest impact. Infrastructure was damaged throughout the earthquake zone. Historic neighborhoods and heritage sites were destroyed in the Kathmandu Valley.

According to initial estimates arrived at during the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), NPR 669 billion would be required to reconstruct damaged properties and infrastructure and to support recovery in affected sectors of the economy.

How about engagement of Nepalese professionals from Nepal and abroad in such technically complex programs?
