Reconstruction research in Nepal - March 2019

The aim of this scoping study is to understand what research and learning already exist on reconstruction in Nepal (following the 2015 earthquake) and what evidence gaps there are which need to be filled by further research. The broader purpose of the scoping study is to ensure that further research on reconstruction avoids duplication and provides solid new evidence to inform and improve ongoing reconstruction efforts as well as any future post-disaster reconstruction efforts in Nepal.

The study looked at six themes associated with reconstruction, as well as various sub-topics within each of these themes: 
Theme 1: Governance framework 
Theme 2: House reconstruction process 
Theme 3: Finance and economic recovery 
Theme 4: Social impacts and needs 
Theme 5: Displacement and resettlement 
Theme 6: Infrastructure and heritage
