Issuing a press statement on Wednesday, the International Development Partners' Group (IDPG) has called on the government and the parliament to take all necessary actions as a matter of urgency to finalize the establishment of the National Reconstruction Authority (NAR) to begin reconstruction work.
" The NAR is crucial to effectively oversee the huge reconstruction tasks," read the statement. "Needs to the tune of US$ 6.7 billion according to the PDNA will have to be addressed with special focus and attention for timely delivery of quality support to the affected people, notably the most vulnerable, and by applying the “build back better” principle to foster resilience."
IDPG also wishes to see that the tremendous goodwill towards Nepal is rapidly translated into action.
"It is a collective wish of the International Development Partners that the substantial goodwill provided to Nepal will be rapidly translated into the quickest and soundest reconstruction modality. We stand ready to discuss how we can best jointly support the national efforts and establish an effective mechanism for dialogue and coordination through the International Development Partners Group," the statement read.
