  1. Mapping exerciseAnalysis Report 22 Aug 2014 TSG meeting

  2. Background • Nepal Risk Reduction Consortium Steering Committee (20th May) • Endorsed recommendation for MoUD/DUDBC, MoFALD, KVDA to establish common analysis of current programming efforts towards safer urban/semi-urban construction, good practices, challenges and gaps,towards development of a national plan of action for Safer Building Construction

  3. Workshop in Nov where stakeholders share and learn the lessons learned, and come up with the recommendation for a plan of action in the coming year • Wide stakeholder engagement process toward “common analysis” of current programing, and buy-in process for more collective and coordinated approach for bigger impact • 23rd May, mapping kick-off meeting inviting relevant stakeholders with the presence of MoUD JS and UN Resident Coordinator • June-July: mapping exercise conducted Lessons learned Workshop Mapping “National Plan of Action”

  4. Methodologies • Desk review of the relevant project/program docs within DUDBC and from organizations • Interviews for those who were available and agreed to participate • Capture more narratives on the approaches and lessons on the ground

  5. Scope • Mainly currently on-going projects and planned activities on safer building construction in municipalities/VDCs • Supported by donors & development partners • Briefly covers school and hospital safer building construction • Commonalities on what seems to be working and what are the common challenges identified

  6. Findings - general • 17 organizations with Safer Building Construction related projects • 9 organizations focus support on NBC implementation at municipality & VDCs level • Mixture of single organizations implemented projects and consortium type of projects • eg. Practical Action and Action Aid for the project in Pokhara, CoRD and Plan International for health facility building safety, ADB and NSET for school safety, etc. • Donors both residential and non-residential

  7. Findings –result/output framing • Framing Results • Few organizations set higher level outcomes with measurable indicators • Many are outputs focused • Framing outputs • Commonalities seen in three Categories of Key Outputs; 1) Awareness raising + Capacity Building for Demand Creation, 2) institutional/system changes, and 3) Normative/Policy and Guidelines. • Targeting Government, Service Provider/Private Sector, and End Users

  8. Govt. • Building permit system • Mason certificate system • Information desk • Regular mason training program • Field monitoring system • Budget allocation MoFALD MoUD System/institutional Building Normative, Policy, Guideline DUDBC Structural/civil engineers Municipalities trainings engineers/sub-engineers VDCs Training for instructors/trainers House owners Local leaders Masons Local builders End User Capacity Building 4-5 days training  certification Standard curriculum by DUDBC Refresher training Service Provider/ Private Sector Awareness Orientations Mass awareness raising via media (radio, TV, print media) Small scale material provider Financial institutions (incl. NRB) /Business associations

  9. Output category 1Awareness raising + Capacity Building = Demand creation • Awareness raising • media mobilization and orientation • Capacity building • Service providers (masons, local builders etc) • Municipality engineers/sub-engineers • Trainers *Utilization of mason training modules

  10. Demand creation curves observed NBC introduction Building permit system Mason Certificate system Institutionalized NBC implementation system Strengthened monitoring system • Orientations/awareness raising & capacity building (1-3 years) TIME >>>> >>>>TIME Allowance paid by municipality for masons for training Budget allocation for mason training by municipality Masons’ willingness to pay for training↑ Municipalities’ budget allocation ↑ => financial sustainability Demand for certificate Self invest in training by mason Awareness on EQ resilient house Demand for qualified masons

  11. Output Category 2Institutional/Systems Changes Common characteristics • Functional permit system • Mason certification system/roster system • Municipal action plan and capacity with good leadership • Increased budget allocation by municipalities, and regular provision of mason training and house owner orientation • Establishment of information/resource center at municipality for house owners

  12. Output category 3Normative/Policy and Guidelines • NSET, UNDP, CoRD, UN-Habitat, JICA (planning) are engaged with normative/policy and guidelines development at national level • At the operational level, various organizations work with municipalities on the action plan making or guidance document making for awareness raising and orientations • In 2011 consultations on developing an action plan/strategy for NBC implementation in Nepal with the support from NSETand UNDP (several reports were produced with some key contents of the action plan/strategy)

  13. Institutional structure &capacity NBC implementation Local Self-Governance Act 1998 Building Act 1998 Building Construction Improvement Committee MoFALD MoUD Chaired by MoUD Secretary attended by MoFALD JS DUDBC BC section 2 Engineers Mason training course 1-2 engineers CTEVT 25 Division offices (regional office) Municipality (130) DDC 75 Engineers/Architect Taking care of 133 VDCs out of 3633 VDCs Only 1-2 engineers NO engineer • Skill test? • Quality assurance of masons ? • National level certificate possible? Building Permit Mason training Orientation to house owners VDCs Monitoring VDC secretary and some staff Building Permit Monitoring • Regulation/normative & guides • Monitoring at national level? • Institutionalized training? • Certificate??? Can they install technical capacity? (engineer or sub-engineer) • NBC implementation including VDCs possible? • Provision of mason training/service provider CD • Awareness raising

  14. Private Sector Engagementfor Demand Creation • Private Sector engagement at various level • Small-scale material suppliers at municipality/VDC level (quality of materials provided) • Media companies (CSR) • Financial sector/Insurance sector • No overall guidance on how to effectively involve private sector at municipality/VDCs

  15. Safer building Construction on School • Multiple organizations are engaged in safer school building construction • DoE with NRRC Flagship 1 (school safety) – Visionary Strategy for Increasing Disaster Resilience for Schools in Nepal • Structural aspect (retrofitting, seismic resilient school construction etc.) amongst all the other school safety related issues • To bring further resources for the actual implementation in the coming years

  16. Safer Building Construction on Health Facility • Flagship 1 (Hospital Safety) has structural and non-structural hospital safety activities planned since 2013 (structural survey, detailed surveys, retrofitting of key hospitals) • Currently, DfID, Save the Children, and World Vision (partner with CoRD), WHO • Structural and non-structural evaluation and retrofitting of the health facilities in some of the districts/municipalities • Health facility construction supervised by DUDBC.

  17. Major challenges and gaps • NBC implementation mechanism, regulatory system and capacity building system • Evaluation of ‘effectiveness’ not covered in the analysis report • Compliance assurance and Quality assurance • GESI consideration • Sustainable implementation system with capacity in place+ ‘Leadership’ • Private Sector Engagement • Complementarity between building by-laws and building codes • Enforcement of building code in public buildings • Existing vulnerable building • Clear target/goals, articulation of necessary capacities, and prioritized and phased approach in the future

  18. Discussions by sub-group members Things that were not covered in the report – but we may want to know more… • Government’s own initiatives on NBC implementation • MoUD ‘NBC implementation Master Plan’ • Municipalities perception on the ground Other questions raised… • Coverage of the building type– analysis report emphasized residential, and partially schools & hospitals • How much is our coverage in terms of municipalities, VDCs? • Are we covering all the intended geographical area? • Has this process been sufficient to deliver the safer building? • How we categorize the issues toward plan of action? : Regulatory and System, Institutional (Capacity Building), Implementation and Demand Creation
