The Dipecho Project aimed to strengthen disaster resilience in Nepal through community-based preparedness initiatives. The project worked in 3 districts over 2 years with a budget of €377,095. It trained over 13,000 community members on first aid, search and rescue, and establishing early warning systems. The project also helped build emergency infrastructure like embankments and retrofitted schools and hospitals to be disaster-resistant. The goal was to enhance communities' ability to reduce disaster impacts through collective action and create an enabling environment with supportive DRR policies.
