In November 2023, an earthquake hit severely Jajarkot and Rukum Districts. The reconstruction process is still ongoing in various affected settlements.

• Manage all the project’s related administrative and reporting tasks.
• Ensure that the project’s objectives are reached timely, fully and with a high-quality level.
