SERC is looking to team up with organizations to assess needs in flood-hit districts of Nepal.

The 2026 Bhotekoshi and Trishuli floods devastated several regions, highlighting the urgent need for a comprehensive gender, equity, diversity, social inclusion (GEDSI)-focused assessment. This collaboration aims to address the socio-economic fallout from these disasters, ensuring that future interventions are inclusive and effective.

The study will focus on three flood-prone districts in Nepal, aiming to understand the specific needs of affected communities.

Long-term vulnerability to flooding remains a critical issue, with potential for increased frequency and severity due to climate change. This assessment is crucial for developing resilient strategies.

What are the immediate real estate and economic risks?

The floods have already caused significant damage to infrastructure and homes, posing immediate risks to property values and economic stability in these districts. The need for a thorough assessment is vital to mitigate future losses and ensure sustainable recovery efforts.

Immediate risks are high due to ongoing flood threats.
