This report provides findings from the fourth in a series of large-scale surveys, conducted in April 2017, two years on from the devastating earth quakes that hit Nepal.

The report is part of the Inde pendent Impacts and Recovery Monitoring for Account ability in Post-Earthquake Nepal (IRM) project. Using both quantitative surveying and in-depth qualitative f ieldwork, IRM involves revisiting areas and people at roughly six month intervals to assess current conditions and how they are changing.

The fourth survey involved face-to-face interviews with 4,854 household respond ents in 11 districts. Stratified random sampling ensures that those interviewed are representative of the wider population in affected areas. Throughout the report, fourth round survey data (IRM-4) are compared with data collected in June 2015 (IRM-1), February-March 2016 (IRM-2) and September 2016 (IRM-3) to allow for an assessment of changes over time.
