Nepal DRR stakeholders

HYOGO Framework for Action:
A gender perspective should be integrated into all disaster
risk management policies, plans and decision­making
processes;
Cultural diversity, age and vulnerable groups should be
p gf
taken into account when planning for disaster risk reduction, ,
as appropriate.

The National Strategy on Disaster Risk Management
Ensures that gender and social
inclusion is mainstreamed into all
stages of disaster risk
management.

The action agenda for DRR will
actively follow these principles at
every stage from conceptualization,
design and implementation.
