Afteronlyfourmonthsofestablishment,on25April2015at11:56localtimeanearthquakemeasuring7.8on theRichterscale tookover8,000human lives1,madehundredsof thousandspeoplehomelessand inflicted substantial damage to infrastructure among which 5003 schools in 14 districts weredamaged2. A second earthquake with 7.2 on the Richter scale happened on May 12. Aftershocksoccurredformonthsandtheriskoflandslideswasveryhigh.ConditionswereaggravatedbythepoliticalblockadeofthebordertoIndiaandthebureaucratizationofassistancebythegovernment.
ImmediatelyaftertheearthquaketheproposalforreconstructionofschoolsandconstructionofLiteracyhomewasapprovedon8thOctober2015fromSWC3asSBRESprojectapartfromtheregularactivities inHealth, Education and Agriculture. Parallel to this Shangri-La Reconstruction and Development Project(SRDP)wasstartedbyourorganizations.
Parallel to the establishment of SRDP emergency aid activities were conducted in 11 of the 14mostaffected districts ofNepalwith 55 tons of relief supplieswhich reached 126 communities and 36,414people within onemonth. Monsoon aid support was given tomore than 5,000 people, consisting intemporary accommodation, temporary learning centres for 2,500 schoolchildren, hygiene training formorethan600peopleas wellasmedicalcare.
Target areas of SRDP for reconstruction wereMakwanpur district (Kalikatar and Bharta VDCs) andLalitpurdistrict.ThechoiceofthetwolocationswasduetothefactthatSOH/SISislocatedinLalitpurdistrict,andSDA'stargetregiontheVDCsofKalikatarandBhartainMakwanpurdistrict.IntheKalikatarandBhartaVDCsofMakwanpur,onlyone lifewas lost,but313privatehousesweredamaged(intotalthereare796householdsinKalikatarand693householdsinBharta),and13schoolbuilding were destroyed.4 In Lalitpur district 17,444 private houses were fully destroyed and 8064privatehouseswerepartiallydamaged,therewere180humancasualties,and149of200governmentschoolsweredestroyed5.

Lalitpurhousedesign:BrickandRCCInitially the design for Lalitpur houses was based on interlocking brick technology with severaladvantages,butbecauseofthebureaucraticprocessesinthegovernment,anapprovalwasimpossible.Allplanswerethereforere-developedandahousedesignbythegovernmentwastaken.It has two rooms and a CGI roof. Cement bricks were chosen because they are more environment-friendly (less pollution during production), are bigger in size than red bricks, less costly.Quality testsconfirmedthis.FourdifferentsubtypesoftheLalitpurhousedesignhavebeendeveloped.
Makwanpurhousedesign:StoneWoodInitiallythedesignforMakwanpurhouseswasbasedonstonemudmortar concept but subsequently it was realized that theimplementationofthisdesignwasverycriticalasthesamerequiredlotofstonechiselling,transportationofthestonesfromthesourcetoconstructionsiteand thiswas furtheraggravatedby the lackofavailabilityofskilledandunskilledmanpowerintheremotevillagesof Makwanpur district having serious impact on time and costfactorsoftheproject.

Thus, the initialdesignwas suggested tomodify so that thehouses canbebuiltwith adjustments indesign along with compliance with national standards and accordingly the stone wood design wasagreed tobe implementedwhich required very lowquantityof stone in comparison to initial design,although thequantityofwoodwas significantlyveryhigh.Tocheck thepracticalavailabilityofwood,the same was checked with house-owners and with the vendors during rainy season (emergencysituation)andfinallythesamegotsuccessfullyimplemented.Theinitialhousedesign(MudMortar)wasawardedbythegovernmentandincludedinthecountrywidegovernmentcatalogue.

ThoughtheschoolreconstructionprojectwasproposedrightaftertheearthquakeandevenbeforetheNational ReconstructionAuthority(NRA)was establishedby the government for the reconstructionofearthquake damaged infrastructures; The reconstruction could not start immediately as the situationwasinconsistentandthegovernmentrulesandregulationswerechanging.The approval from SWC was obtained with the concept of the management that School will beconstructedwithInter-Lockingblocksandanewtechnologywouldbeintroducedinthearea.After the earthquake, government published design catalogue on October 2015 which excluded theInterlockingBrickstechnologyandthusalltheeffortsinvestedindesigningthedrawingsofSchoolwaslostinvain.AgainnewdesignwasmadeandsubmittedforapprovalinDUDBCasthedesignpublishedbyGovernmentwasnotfeasibleforthelandareaoftheschoolsinthehillsofKalikatarandBharta.The Design was approved from DUDBC9 on 20th September 2016 and the execution of the plan ofreconstruction began. The actual physical activity started on October 2016. Initially the materialcollectionforself-contributiontookplacewhichconsumedalotoftime.The extensive reconstruction of the schools began only on January 2017. This late execution of theconstruction activities was result of various circumstances such as the bureaucratic procedure ofGovernmentforapprovalofdesigns,prolongedprocedures, frequentchange inregulations,confusionofauthorityonSchoolreconstructionamongdepartmentsofGovernment,FocusonSRDPasroofabovetheindividualinmonsoonwasimmediateneedthanthecommunitybuilding.16schoolssince1998infourdistrictsofNepalSince 1998, it has been a great experience to work with the people of Nepal tomanage the futuredevelopment and education of the country.

Thedynamics in theboard level,amongpartnerorganizationsand in the implementation teammadethe project successful. The learning from SRDP played crucial role in management, supervision andmonitoring.

Theparticipationof community andschool was kept in top priority for ensuring the feeling of ownership/awareness and sustainability.Participation to the extent of 20% of total cost of the building structure was expected from thecommunity/school for achieving the philosophy of sustainable social development. The areas whereschool&communityagreedtomakecontributionwasthroughthecollectionofmaterialswhichwerelocally available such as collection of stones, aggregates, transportation of sand and manualtransportation of procured materials, example bricks and iron rods. The quantity of material to becollectedwasfixedandfurthertokeepthepaceofcollectionofmaterialsfinanceflowwasstartedatlaterstage,sothatthecommunitypeopledonotfacefinancialpressureduetotheirexcesscontributiontowards construction of building & structures.

The school constructionproject had successfully usedexisting resourcesof organization for achievingthe project objectives. Since, the project being carried inMakwanpur was not a standalone project,ratheritwasoneoftheadditionalprojectsoftheorganizationwithinthesameworkingarea,ithelpedinsavingadditionalexpenditureswhicharenormallyincurredinstandaloneprojects.The cost of hiring additional manpower, infrastructure setup, lodging and food ofmanagement/visitors/engineerswassavedtoaverylargeextent.Thesameisexplainedbyfiguresbelow:
Theschoolconstructionprojectwasbaseduponthephilosophyofcommunityparticipationand self-involvement in the process unlike construction through the contractor.

Above these site engineers was the Construction Supervisor Dipesh Shrestha whosupervised the quality of work done. Also the German Technical team had been regularly providingfeedbacks on the issues that came up during the course of implementation. Thus, the project wastechnicallysoundasaresultofmanagement,financeandtechnicalteamworkinginclosecoordination.7.1SchooldesignIdentificationofconstructionconsultancycompanieswas initiatedduringAutumn2015,andsincetheinitialconceptwastoconstructtheschoolswith interlockingblocks,EcotechBuildingSystemsPvt.Ltdwas consulted.

Cross checksweremade and a close cooperation of German andNepalese teamfinalizedthedesign.The consultancy companywas also given the responsibility of approval fromDUDBC.

They speak a clear languagewhen the rightbalance isnot found to involve the local communityactively,or fast,andoftensimplerand/ormoreexpensivewaysaregone.Projectsarethenoftendesignedatdesks,andthelostresourcesforNepalareimmense.Thus, the project had to be tailored tomeet the social and cultural context, especially regarding thesituation in Makwanpur (high illiteracy rate, low awareness levels, high poverty, an extremelyunderprivileged target group). For transportation cash was paid out In Makwanpur most materials
(stones, wood, mud, bricks, sand) were procured and transported by the Community membersthemselves.The involvement of the community, SMC and SRC made it much more easier in planning theprocurement and construction of the schools. In the regular meetings, decisions regarding materialcollection,transportationandworkingtime(timeforcultivationwaspre-decided)werediscussed.TheSMCandSRCmeetingwithcommunitymadethepaymenttobeasperthetrendinthecommunitysothatitwassocialyetnotoverpriced.Someworkwhichweregivenincontractbasisinthecommunityitselfwerenegotiatedsothatitwouldbejustifiableforbothparties.
