The goal of the project is to increase the number of newly built or rebuilt houses that incorporate Building Back Safer (BBS) methods in (re)construction as well as to support in broader community Disaster Risk Reduction processes. Expected Results of the project are: Result 1: Men and women artisans have increased knowledge and skills of earthquake resistant construction techniques; Result 2: Men and women responsible for rebuilding or overseeing building of their own homes have increased access to information on BBS and more choices on home design that meet building code; and Result 3: Resilience of affected communities is strengthened, including their capacity to plan and implement development and disaster risk reduction projects at community level with appropriate linkage to District Level Plans.
