If planning does not embrace the value that h ld i h ill ”everyone should survive, they will not”

The most vulnerable when the disaster strikes…

Do we see them, do we hear their voices , their issues raised

in DMC meetings, in orientation sessions, in DP planning activities, p g ,in emergency committees?


… are they less prepared ?… are they less prepared ?


Because inclusiveness saves lives,

d b i dand to be in accordance with basic international human rights standardshuman rights standards, Nepal DRR stakeholders

have two main frameworks to address inclusiveness…


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

taken into account when planning for disaster risk reduction, p g f ,as appropriate.


The National Strategy on Disaster Risk Management

Ensures that gender and socialinclusion is mainstreamed into allinclusion is mainstreamed into allstages of disaster riskmanagement.gThe action agenda for DRR will

actively follow these principles atevery stage from conceptualization,design and implementation.
