Risk Informed Landside Management in Nepal's Hill Area
Risk Informed Landslide Management in Nepal's Hill Area is a program supported by People in Need (PIN) and implemented by NSET during Jun 2020 to Feb 2022.
The project aims to improve resilience of hill communities in four rural municipalities (Bhotekoshi, Barabise, Tamakoshi and Big) in Sindhupalchowk and Dolakha districts through strengthening risk-informed landslide management at the local level.
The project is conducting followings activities:

- Identification of strategic locations and set up field offices on all 4
- Municipal Level two-day Workshops on Landslide Risk Reduction planning at each municipality
- One-day workshop on Landslide Risk Reduction at all wards of the municipalities
- Orientation programs on Community Level Landslide Risk Reduction at 80% of the existing wards of formal vdc and municipality
- Distribution of calendars with relevant messages and figures on landslide risk reduction and preparedness to at least 50 % of the households in the municipalities.
- Publish and circulate advocacy and awareness booklet to at least 10 % of the household families, all key stakeholders such as NGOs working in the project area and to relevant divisions/departments of the local, provincial and national government
