July 17: European Union (EU) has provided Nepal government Rs 6 billion (EURO 50 million) as the first tranche of the Nepal - EU Action for Recovery and Reconstruction (NEARR) budget support programme. This delivers on the pledge made by EU Commissioner Neven Mimica in June 2015 during his visit to the country for the International Conference on Nepal's Reconstruction to substantially support the start-up phase of the recovery.

Issuing a press statement, EU said that the Post Disaster Recovery Framework (PDRF) of May 2016 guides the EU and the government’s shared aspiration to help the earthquake-affected communities build their houses back better and safer. ''All stakeholders now need to rigorously focus determination, skills and energy on implementing the PDRF to rebuild houses, schools and other infrastructure. This is the moment to create more resilient, inclusive and prosperous communities in an accountable, transparent and sensitive way, and to inject more dynamism into Nepal's economy," said EU Ambassador Rensje Teerink on the occasion.

NEARR emphasises fostering of resilience and disaster preparedness, focuses on the most vulnerable people, as well as enhancing transparency and accountability in the reconstruction process and implementation capacity of the Government. In order to measure progress the EU and the Government of Nepal agreed on a set of indicators to be achieved for the disbursement of the second tranche of Rs 6 billion (EURO 50 million).
