The document discusses the Early Recovery Cluster in Nepal, which focuses on supporting livelihood recovery for populations affected by the COVID-19 crisis. The cluster aims to address early recovery needs during the humanitarian response phase by coordinating with local governments to implement short-term livelihood programs. It provides coordination and information management for response activities. The document outlines the cluster's objectives, sample activities and interventions, budget allocations by organization, targeted and reached beneficiaries, and coverage of local governments implemented across Nepal's provinces.

1. Early
Recovery
Cluster

2. Background
• Focus on supporting municipalities/palikas to put in
place, administer, fund, and implement livelihood
specific programme interventions targeting those who
have been impacted the most.
• First and foremost, activities need to be informed by
local needs assessments conducted (or being conducted)
by respective Local Governments (LG), for which
MoFAGA has issued guidance.
• Activities need to be closely coordinated with the Local
Governments with national anchoring with MoFAGA.
• ERC can help to put in place a strong coordination,
information management and sharing system.

Objectives
1. National Early Recovery Cluster Nepal provisioned in the National Disaster

with the humanitarian country team (HCT).
3. ERC focuses on early recovery of affected populations, mostly through livelihood
recovery efforts.
4. Core objective is to address early recovery needs that arise during the
humanitarian phase of the ongoing crisis.

laying the foundations for longer-term sustainable recovery for those who have
been impacted the most.
6. Its work should focus primarily on supporting Local Governments (LGs) in the
short-term to restore and stabilize the livelihoods of the impacted people at the
community/local level.
