1. Introduction Nepal is a disaster prone country in the world which is exposed to several types of disaster. A wide variety of physiographic, geological, ecological and meteorological factors contribute to the high level of hazards in the country. In addition, low level of awareness and demographic factors such as rapid population growth, unplanned settlement and improper land use contribute to increase the vulnerability of the communities. Flood, landslide, earthquake, fire, epidemic, drought and hailstorm are major types of hazards in Nepal out of them flood, landslide and fire are common that occur almost every year with heavy loss of lives and properties. Ministry of Home Affairs/HMG along with many national/international organizations, CBOs and civil societies have been actively working in disaster management. So far the Disaster Management remains a great challenge in Nepal. From the past history it has been experienced that no single organization is sufficient to manage the disaster problems in Nepal in an effective manner. Realizing this reality, Disaster Preparedness Network (DP-Net), a loose federation of organizations working in DM, had been formed in the year 1996 in order to systematize DM system through establishing good coordination/cooperation mechanism among actors. Besides this, the charter of the network has also been finalized. In the year 2003, a workshop of the DP-Net was held at Kathmandu and an Executive Committee was formed at that time. The DP-Net has carried out some activities during the year 2004 but still there is a need of further strengthening this network in wider perspective. So a meeting of General Council of the network was held in Kathmandu on 6 March 2005 with participation of its member organizations. 2. The Participants All members and representatives from member organizations were invited for the meeting. Furthermore Coordinators of 3 Sectoral Working Groups (i.e. Food and Agricultural SWG, Health SWG and Logistic SWG) were also invited. Altogether 43 representatives from different governmental, non-governmental, UN agency and others participated in the meeting. The list of participants participated in the meeting is given in annex: "1". 3. Objectives of the meeting The meeting aimed to further strengthen coordination/cooperation among partner organizations and the network as well in disaster management in Nepal. The main agenda and program schedule of the meeting was as follows:

Progress report For the year 2004
1. Background: Nepal is a disaster-prone country mainly due to its young geology, sloppy terrain and widespread poverty. Among the major disasters, flood, landslide and disease epidemic is the most recurrent one claiming several lives annually. As seismic faults pass through the country, it renders Nepal vulnerable to earthquake disaster also. In order to further strengthen the coordination and information mechanism in terms of disaster management, a loose association of organizations, the DP-Net, has been formed in 1997. The DP-Net is envisioned as a loose association of individual organizations within the development sector in Nepal, which are concerned with disaster preparedness and management with a total disaster risk management concept. The Network aims to assist individuals and organizations to prepare for respond to and manage disaster should it strike. In the year 1997, LWF played the role of secretariat and since 1998 NRCS has been coordinating as a secretariat of the DP-Net. Since its inception regular meeting of the network is being held and some activities have been carried out to this period.
DP-Net is concerned with natural and human induced disasters. It will also cover disasters such as epidemics, fire and ecological hazard.
DP-Net aims to assist and work closely with the HMG/N as a facilitator to all cycles of disaster management activities in Nepal.

The list of participants is attached with this report. Executive Committee Meeting:
During this year, 6 meetings of DP-net Executive Committee were held at NRCS. The meetings discussed on many issues and as per decisions made in these meetings, some activities were carried out.

In this connection, the Secretariat and member organizations carried out several activities. Still the network and its members should actively carry out DM activities in coming years collaboratively. So an action plan has been developed for 2005 and it is expected that the members of DP-Net will actively involve in carrying out these activities in that year.

An Introduction to the An Introduction to the Sphere ProjectSphere Project
What is Sphere?What is Sphere?
Sphere is based on two core beliefs:first, that all possible steps should be taken to alleviate human suffering arising out of calamity and conflict; second, that those affected by disaster have a right to life with dignity and therefore a right to assistance.
Sphere is three things:a handbook, a broad process of collaboration and an expression of commitment to quality and accountability.
Declaration that populations affected by conflict and calamity have a right to assistance
A public commitment toward a defined and measurable level of competence and delivery
A distillation of current global knowledge and experience into a practical tool for individuals, their organisations, and the humanitarian community
A challenge to all actors in the humanitarian community for increased accountability and quality
What Sphere represents…What Sphere represents…

Achieve consensus on technical indicators
The Humanitarian ImperativeThe Humanitarian ImperativeTo prevent and alleviate human suffering; to protect life and health (improve human condition); and to ensure respect for the human being. It implies a right to receive humanitarian assistance and a right to offer it as fundamental to humanitarian principles. The humanitarian imperative implies an over all protection approach, i.e. the respect of international humanitarian law and human rights.
The right to life with dignity…The right to life with dignity…
“We understand an individual’s right to life to entail the right to have steps taken to preserve life where it is threatened, and a corresponding duty on others to take such steps. Implicit in this is the duty not to withhold or frustrate the provision of life-saving assistance”
23
AccountabilityAccountability
“We expect to be held accountable to this commitment and undertake to develop systems for accountability within our respective agencies, consortia and federations. We acknowledge that our fundamental accountability must be to those we seek to assist”
AssumptionsAssumptionsPopulations affected by disasters have a right to disaster assistancePopulations affected by disasters have a right to determine the type of assistance they needDisaster preparedness provides interesting opportunities for rights-based participationPreparedness is an important step toward good quality and accountability in a response

Principles of Conduct for The International Red Cross and Red CrPrinciples of Conduct for The International Red Cross and Red Crescent escent Movement and NGOs in Disaster Response ProgrammesMovement and NGOs in Disaster Response Programmes
1. The Humanitarian imperative comes first2. Aid is given regardless of the race, creed or nationality of the
recipients and without adverse distinction of any kind. Aid priorities are calculated on the basis of need alone
3. Aid will not be used to further a particular political or religious standpoint
4. We shall endeavour not to act as instruments of government foreign policy
5. We shall respect culture and custom6. We shall attempt to build disaster response on local capacities7. Ways shall be found to involve programme beneficiaries in the
management of relief aid8. Relief aid must strive to reduce future vulnerabilities to disaster as
well as meeting basic needs9. We hold ourselves accountable to both those we seek to assist
and those from whom we accept resources10. In our information, publicity and advertising activities, we shall
recognise disaster victims as dignified humans, not hopeless objects
The Humanitarian Charter affirms the fundamentalimportance of the following principles:
The right to life with dignity
The distinction between combatants and non-combatants
The principle of non-refoulement
The Humanitarian CharterThe Humanitarian Charter
““ We understand an individual’s right to life to We understand an individual’s right to life to entail the right to have steps taken to preserve entail the right to have steps taken to preserve life where it is threatened, and a corresponding life where it is threatened, and a corresponding duty on others to take such steps.”duty on others to take such steps.”

The Rationale…The Rationale…
“The Humanitarian Charter is concerned with the most basic requirements for sustaining the lives and dignity of those affected by calamity or conflict”
25
“We reaffirm our belief in the humanitarian imperative and its primacy…on the basis of this belief…based on the principle of humanity, that we offer our services as
humanitarian agencies…
“international law recognises that those affected are entitled to protection and assistance…”
“Legal obligations on states or warring parties to provide assistance...”
“we define our role in relation to these primary roles and responsibilities …”
The Humanitarian Charter…a statement of valuesThe Humanitarian Charter…a statement of valuesRecognising vulnerabilities and capacities of disaster-affected populations & CrossCross--cutting issuescutting issues
The key vulnerable groups are women, children, older people, disabled people, PLWH/A and ethnic minorities ++.
Therefore cross cutting issues includes:1) children, 2) older people, 3) disabled people, 4) gender, 5) protection,6) HIV/AIDS and 7) the environment.+++
Core ‘process and people’ standards
26
“The minimum level (of service) to be attained in humanitarian assistance” see page 274
General nutritional support standard1:nutrient supply
The nutritional needs of the population are met.
Example from page 90.
What is a Minimum Standard?What is a Minimum Standard? What are key indicators?What are key indicators?
“Signals” that show whether a standard has been attained. They provide a way of measuring and communicating both the impact, or result, of programmes as well as the process, or methods, used. The indicators may be qualitative or quantitative. Page 274
Key indicators
● Levels of moderate malnutrition are stable at , or declining to, acceptable levels.
● There are no cases of scurvy, pellagra or beri-beri.● Rates of xeropthalmia or iodine deficiency disorders are not
of public health significance (see guidance notes…) see page 90
They disseminate experience, illuminate areas of controversy, and help use indicators properly in context
Guidance notes
“…deciding whether levels of malnutrition are acceptable requires analysis of the current situation in light of local norms...” see page 92
What are Guidance notes?What are Guidance notes? Example of a water standard and its indicators
Water supply standard: People have adequate facilities and supplies to collect, store and use sufficient quantities of water for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene…
Indicators:
•There is 250g of soap available per person per month
• Each household has 2 water collecting vessels of 10 – 20 litres. Water collection and storage vessels have narrow necks and/or covers.
•Where communual bathing facilites are necessary, there are sufficient bathing cublicles for bathing at an acceptablefrequency and an acceptable time, with separted cubicles for men and for women.

It takes a long time to mainstream a new initiative or focus in an organisation
Sphere is a successful advocacy tool
Sphere is being used throughout the “project cycle” for humanitarian programmes
Sphere is being used as a disaster preparedness tool
Piloting Sphere :Lessons to datePiloting Sphere :Lessons to date
In politically charged environments, the HC may beeasier to use than the legal instrumentsSome aid workers feel that it is too early to talk with affected populations about rights and entitlements while others feel this is criticalSphere is helpful in capacity buildingThere needs to be increased clarity about the difference between standards and indicators We all are struggling with monitoring and evaluationThere is still much debate about the usefulness of Sphere within the NGO communityThe process continues!
Observations …Observations …

Sphere application to DPSphere application to DP
If a good response requires certain standards, then preparedness measures need to consider these
standards in anticipation of their use
Sphere is directly relevant to:
I -Process of preparedness (Participation and co-ordination)II - Product of preparedness (Concrete preparedness measures)
Thus….Thus….
People have a right to life with dignity
People have a right to minimum

Risk: The probability of harmful consequences. Expected losses (of lives, persons injured, property damaged, and economic activity disrupted) due to a particular hazard for a given areas and reference period. Based on mathematical calculations, risk is the product of hazard and vulnerability. (R = H X V/C)
