Greetings! I am Achyut Luitel from Nepal. I work for Practical Action, a UK based INGO as the Regional Director of Nepal and SA Programme. Practical Action uses technology to challenge poverty in developing countries. Through technology we enable poor communities to build on their skills and knowledge to produce sustainable and practical solutions - transforming their lives and protecting the world around them. One of our works has focused around reducing vulnerability, particulalry in the Disaster Risk Reduction sector. I am happy to share Practical Action's experiences from the region.
