Capacity building of Nepal's national security forces in camp coordination and camp management (CCCM)

Through the present project, IOM aims to contribute to the Government ofNepal's efforts in disaster preparedness through increasing capacity of first responders to effectively manage displaced populations in line with international standards and best practices. A comprehensive response in camp management aims at improving the quality of life and dignity of affected populations during displacement through engagement in participatory processes, working together with, and advocating on behalf of, internally displaced people, as well as other persons affected by humanitarian crisis. The National Red Cross Society (NRCS), as one of the key local responders in Nepal, will also participate in the capacity building activities to bridge the gap between immediate response and longer term management of displaced populations provided byinternational, national and local stakeholders. The proposed action willbe implemented over a two-year period and in close coordination with Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA), Ministry of Defense (MoD), Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), Department of Urban Development and Building Codes (DUDBC), NA, NP, APF, NRCS and their regional and district offices, and with the support of IOM's Global Camp Coordination and CampManagement (CCCM) Cluster team.
