Kathmandu. Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle has directed to make the details of the immediate physical damage and needs assessment (RDNA) caused by the Rasuwa floods realistic. <\/p>\n
Finance Minister Wagle gave this directive to the Commission and the World Bank’s Nepal representatives while discussing the separate preliminary assessment of the then Physical Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA) prepared by a task force formed by the National Planning Commission at the Ministry of Finance on Tuesday and the World Bank’s Rapid Damage Assessment (GRADE) prepared after a global disaster. “It is necessary to make the physical damage and needs assessment of the floods realistic to make the reconstruction and rehabilitation effective,” he said, adding that the RDNA and grade should be a national document based on reality and truth to make the right decision and raise investment. \u2019<\/p>\n
The Planning Commission is preparing a draft report for a quick and preliminary assessment of the physical damage and human damage caused by the floods. The World Bank has prepared a preliminary assessment of the damage. Finance Minister Wagle held a meeting with the stakeholders on Tuesday to finalize the preliminary details of the same blueprint and prepare a common preliminary report. <\/p>\n
In the discussion attended by the Vice Chairman of the National Planning Commission, Dr. Gunakaran Bhatta, and other senior officials of the Commission, it was informed that the RDNA of the damage caused to the physical property due to the floods was evaluated in four different areas. The evaluation has been started by dividing it into social, productive, infrastructure and other sectors. <\/p>\n
Under the social sector, the study has included the results of the damage caused to private buildings and infrastructures, public, education, health and cultural heritage. <\/p>\n
Similarly, agriculture, fisheries, livestock, financial and economic activities are being evaluated under the productive sector. Hydropower projects and transmission lines, use of domestic green energy, roads, bridges, telecommunications, environmental health and irrigation and river management have been evaluated as infrastructure sectors. <\/p>\n
The status of the debris and hazardous waste piled up in the flood-affected areas has also been included in the assessment as an inter-sectoral issue. The government is preparing to release a common rDNA report soon incorporating both the reports. <\/p>\n
The Planning Commission is preparing the RDNA report under the leadership of Joint Secretary Arjun Bhandari with representatives of the concerned ministries including the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure. On the basis of this report, the government will proceed with the work of reconstruction and rehabilitation, including the provision of immediate relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
