NRA Preparing to Organise Donor Conference

  1 min 2 sec to read

December 28: The National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) has completed 48 percent of post-earthquake reconstruction works, claimed NRA Chief Executive Officer Yuvaraj Bhusal.

He further added that there is funding gap for reconstruction so the NRA is planning to organise a donor conference next year to raise more funds.

“The funding gap is Rs 300 billion,” he said in a programme organised to celebrate the second anniversary of NRA. The NRA was formed on December 25, 2015. With no serious works for two years, the NRA has claimed that it will now do the post-earthquake reconstruction works in full swing.

In the first two years, there were difficulties in policy as well as in technical and management level, but it will be easier to work now, claimed the NRA.

The Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) report prepared by the government has estimated that it would take Rs 900 billion for the reconstruction works. The donor conference in 2015 had raised a total of Rs 400 billion including grants and loan.

In the last two years, NRA has spent Rs 71.52 billion. “With the country adopting federal structure, it will be easier to carry out the reconstruction works,” added Bhusal.
