A 3-day Training on Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Localization Manual, training delivery and capacity development for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) trainers affiliated to National Society for Earthquake Technology-Nepal (NSET), Lutheran World Federation (LWF), and Practical Action Consulting (PAC) has been organized in Gaidakot of Nawalparasi East during 4-6 July 2022. 

In order to provide the DRM Localization Trainings to elected leaders of the local levels across the country, a DRM Localization Manual has been developed by Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration (MoFAGA) with support from International Organization for Migration’s (UN-Migration).

A total of 41 participants including Province Coordinators, Admin Logistics, and DRRM trainers representing all the provinces were trained. The objective of the training was to enhance the capacity of the DRRM trainers to conduct the trainings to local government on DRM Localization Training Manual. During the event, the participants were briefed about the contents of the training course, methodology and admin logistics management aspects of the DRM Localization Training prior to mobilize them in the field for two-day DRM Localization Trainings across the provinces.

The DRM localization Training is the part of International Organization for Migration’s (UN-Migration) technical assistance and USAID-Nepal’s support to the Government of Nepal in strengthening the legal framework and capacity of local levels for effective and efficient disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery activities.

A consortium of NSET, LWF and PAC are implementing the DRM Localization Trainings at 702 local levels of Nepal.
