"We must all recognize the importance of ensuring Nepal’s preparation for earthquakes and other disasters. Promoting safer buildings is a critical aspect of Nepal’s future, and we welcome the commitment shown by a wide range of stakeholders in defining the framework for the “National Plan of Action for Safer Buildings”. However, we must not solely look at achieving safer buildings. To ensure communities in Nepal are resilient, we must aspire to integrate disaster risk reduction principles in all our work," writes Gail Marzetti, head of DFID in Nepal in Republica.
