Abstract

Every locality is prone to natural disasters and Nepal experienced a devastating one in 2015 best known as Gorkha Earthquake. It required a massive reconstruction for which Government of Nepal floated financing packages to support private housing reconstruction. The actual take was, however, too low. The study explored the reasons for the low take using the data drawn from the survey of the earthquake affected households and the institutions involved in executing the financing packages. The study shows that there were short comings in the timing, making and the managing of the financial package itself, and the study provides a critical lesson to learn requiring advance preparedness, completeness of the financial package and providing oversight on the management of the financial package as a way to secure sought results.
