Nepal Urban Resilience Project (NURP)

The aim of the Nepal Urban Resilience Project (NURP) is to support national and local government in strengthening the resilience of growing urban areas to natural disasters through improved building, planning and services. ICF and its consortium are providing technical assistance support to the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and municipal governments to achieve the following objectives: • Strengthen the disaster resilience of up to 7 rapidly urbanising areas and to facilitate learning from these urban areas to enable replication in other locations; and • Strengthen national policy development, implementation and monitoring in relation to disaster resilience, as well as stronger coordination and collaboration between the Government and development partners nationally.
