Executive summary

Introduction

1.DG ECHO presence in Nepal in recent years has been principally focused on assisting populations affected by two forgotten emergencies: the ten year civil war and assistance to the Bhutanese refugees living in camps in the east of Nepal. In addition, DG ECHO has supported disaster preparedness and risk reduction through five consecutive DIPECHO Action Plans in order to reduce the impact of those living under the threat of constant and significant natural disasters in Nepal, including floods and landslides. DG ECHO opened an office in Kathmandu in late 2005 in response to the escalation of the conflict.
