Scaling-up Early Warning Systems in Nepal (SEWIN)

Back to top
Practical Action Nepal implemented SEWIN in Banke and Bardiya District and then extended and scaled up to Chitwan and Nawalparari Districts in the course of time. Practical Action promoted community-based disaster risk reduction programmes to reduce disaster risk of the most vulnerable communities in flood-prone districts. The specific objective was to strengthen the capacity of vulnerable flood-prone communities and district authorities in Nepal to understand, mitigate and respond to risk, and benefit through the use of flood EWS.
