Aid and Recovery in Post-Earthquake Nepal: Independent Impacts and Recovery Monitoring Phase 3: Qualitative Field Monitoring September 2016

Abstract

The report is based on data collected in six earthquake affected districts, selected to represent varying levels of impact: Gorkha, Sindhupalchowk, Ramechhap, Okhaldhunga, Solukhumbu, and Syangja. Field research methods included participant observation, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions with data gathered at district, VDC, and ward levels. In total, 36 wards (six per district) were visited for the research. The analyses examine changes that have occurred over time, comparing data and findings from all three rounds of research. While the fieldwork was conducted in September, the report includes updated information (to March 2017) on progress with reconstruction where this was available from news and other secondary sources
