| Project: | Flooding caused by a period of sustained and heavy rainfall in the second week of August 2017 ffected 1.7 million people across 35 of Nepal's 75 districts. The region recorded the heaviest rainfall in over 50 years, and according to Nepal government over 80 percent of land in the southern Terai-Madhes region was inundated by flood waters. An Initial Rapid Assessment (IRA) conducted in 28 districts assessed that over 91,400 families (460,000 people) have been displaced, with 65,000 houses destroyed (GIST, ESRI, DoS, Government of Nepal). As per the IRA, there are an estimated 19,000 persons currently residing in informal displacements sites including in schools. Some 40 communities in Rautahat, Banke, Bardiya, Mahottari, Dhanusa and Saptari districts remain inaccessible by road.
Most of the affected districts, namely Rautahat, Mahottari, Saptari, Sarlahi, Siraha and Dhanusha, rate relatively low as measured by the Human Development Index (HDI) and are among the 25 districts in Nepal with the lowest HDI rating. Many of the impacted areas were affected by major flooding in 2014 and had yet to fully recover. Reports from the flood affected districts suggest that humanitarian needs are significant as children and women, as well as marginalized and vulnerable groups are particularly impacted and in need of targeted support. The floods have severely impacted school infrastructures reducing considerably the availability of learning space for a long time. The effect of the floods on children's education is that for many school-going children chances of returning to school have become uncertain. As per the latest data of Nepal government (25 Aug, 2017), a total of 80 schools across 28 districts were destroyed while 710 schools su?ered damages. In addition, floods have damaged or destroyed important quantities of teaching and learning materials. The overall objectives are to ensure that school children in the affected districts resume school with minimum disruption, and that learning spaces are restored in a minimum period of time. |
