| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project investigates the dynamic changes of state-civil society relationship in the post-Nepal Earthquake 2015 and the effectiveness of reconstruction aid delivery.The entire Nepal reconstruction process was characterized as one of low level community participation and vulnerable groups were excluded; this undermined the hope for building a resilient society. Nepal experience suggests that if humanitarian professions seriously think about assisting a resource-poor country like Nepal to recover from the disaster and move on to a more resilient future, it is important to change the unequal organization and implementation of power in humanitarian and development policies and procedures.
The study was conducted between 2016 to 2020. A mixed methodology was employed, including a policy analysis of key disaster recovery documents and extensive field study in two heavily earthquake-hit districts, Nuwakot and Dhading.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
The study contributes to disaster studies particularly the importance of social sciences perspective to understand the dynamic changes of state-civil society relationships in the post-disaster time. It helps improve better understanding the challenges of key recovery paradigms at the ground level.
