DRR and Humanitarian Response Project
The strategic partnership between Plan International Nepal and Development Project Service
Center Nepal (DEPROSC-Nepal) aims to integrate Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and
Humanitarian Response into Plan International Nepal’s child-centric programs. The partnership
builds on a strategic collaboration between Plan International Nepal and DEPROSC-Nepal to
strengthen DRM and Humanitarian collaboration in Nepal. The key objective is to strengthen the
capacity of Plan International Nepal’s implementing partners to integrate disaster risk
management, humanitarian preparedness and Forecast-based Action (FbA) into their
organizational systems and policies through effective application of the Partners in Emergency
(PiE) Manual. Further, it will focus to enhance partners’ readiness by testing disaster
preparedness plans, coordination mechanisms, and resources through context-specific multi-
hazard simulation and drill exercises. The major activities in this contract are:
· Capacity building on the DRM and Partners in Emergency (PaiE) Manual
· Simulations and drills
· Development of Anticipatory Action (AA) policies
· Provincial multi-stakeholder workshops
