This Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) is conducted by the Government of Malawi with technical and financial support from the European Union (EU), the United Nations (UN) and the World Bank (WB) following the floods in 2015.

This study looks at whether interventions to improve building practices, combined with community engagement, have resulted in safer schools and communities in view of the effects of the earthquake on Nepal’s educational infrastructure.

This working paper aims to complement the post disaster needs assessment of the Government of Nepal by providing insights into the livelihood dimensions of the earthquake and its socioeconomic and livelihood impacts.
