The Government of Nepal has so far distributed cash at a rate of Rs 45,000 to 4,108 households in Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading that were directly affected by the Bhote Koshi floods in Rasuwa.
The cash assistance provided by the development partner, the World Food Programme (WFP), was distributed through a ‘single-window’ (Ekal Dwar Pranali). system to avoid duplication. The funds are being distributed to affected individuals identified by the local governments, in coordination and collaboration with them. This assistance has been provided to flood-affected households across a total of 11 local government units: five in Rasuwa, four in Nuwakot, and two in Dhading.
The government is preparing to distribute funds within three days to the approximately 1,400 households whose data is yet to be verified.
A joint meeting of the monsoon response command posts—comprising the central level and the three concerned districts—held on the 23rd of Ashwin decided to streamline the process of identifying and verifying disaster-affected households (beneficiaries) and facilitating their early recovery.
As the Red Cross and other development partners have also expressed a willingness to provide cash assistance, the government has directed local levels and relevant agencies to distribute aid in accordance with the ‘Disaster-Sensitive Social Protection and Relief Distribution Standards, 2081,’ ensuring that there is no duplication of benefits and that no eligible household is left out.
Work is also proceeding rapidly on the long-term rehabilitation and management of flood victims.
