Field Visit Report Visit 2 Date Location Participants from HRRP and stakeholders 24 April 2019 Panauti 9, 10 • Reshma Shrestha, HRRP • Ishor Neupane, HRRP • Conduct Ward level meeting Objective(s) • Update the reconstruction progress at ward levels • Housing Typology Survey

During the field visit, ward level coordination meeting was conducted in Ward 10 whereas housing typology survey was conducted in ward 9 and 10. At ward 10, ward level coordination meeting was conducted with participation of Ward Secretary, Ward Member and HRRP. 399 of the total beneficiaries have received first tranche, 191 have received second tranche and 115 have received third tranche. The list of 22 beneficiaries who constructed their house immediately after earthquake has been prepared and forwarded to Building/DLPIU whereas all the documents of 24 beneficiaries requesting to switch from retrofit to reconstruction have been forwarded to NRA. Summary Grievances is the major issue of the ward. The earlier resurvey and reverification missed a total of 221 and 275 grievances from two previous wards now included in Ward 10. These will now be covered by the ongoing resurvey and reverification along with other grievances filed at the ward. Another major challenge of reconstruction in the ward is the communication gap from the top level. Almost all of the notices and policies of NRA reach the ward after the deadline. Similarly, only the palika levels are oriented on the reconstruction policies. But it is the ward level where these orientations and communication are most essential.
