The project aims to develop and strengthen GO-NGO partnership for accelerating the effective functioning of local level Disaster Management Committees (DMC)s. This objective will be pursued through strategic assessment of capacity and needs, developing technical capacities, bridging NGOs and DMCs, and coordination among various NGOs and agencies at different levels. The project will form, support and strengthen the ‘Network of NGOs” at national level and the ‘Core Groups’ at local level facilitating the effective functioning of DMCs. The formation of the groups and networks would ensure the adequate representation of the relevant sectors and actors as well as their effective synchronization. The overall motivation, however, is to develop capacities from an inside-driven approach and harvesting largely on existing capacity assets at local levels.
