This Cost Benefit Analysis was undertaken to provide Mercy Corps with a quantitative analysis to complement the qualitative benefits that we have observed throughout the life of our Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) project which is being implemented in Nepal. The Kailali Disaster Risk Reduction Initiatives (KDRR) project, at the heart of this study, assists riverside communities in the far western Kailali District of Nepal where we are working in cooperation with the Nepali Red Cross Society (NRCS) Kailali District Chapter.
