Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Project -- A Snapshot

This document offers a quick primer on the Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Project in Nepal launched in response to the widespread damage caused by the earthquake sequence of 2015. This Project was launched in response to the overwhelming destruction to "Housing and Human Settlements", deemed the largest single need (US$3.27 billion) for the country and accounting for about half of Nepal's entire reconstruction investment estimate (US$7 billion) according to the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA).
