Outcome 2: The three spheres of government collaborate to set up a multi hazard early warning approach in selected river basins.

Outcome 3: Relevant public, private and academic institutions in Nepal use multi hazard risk assessments and operate early warning systems in priority river basins.

Principaux résultats attendus:
