Reconstruction Delays Plague Survivors in Jajarkot District and Salyan
What happened
Three years after an earthquake struck on November 3, 2023, thousands of survivors in Jajarkot District, Rukum West, and Salyan are still living in temporary shelters. Delayed damage assessments and slow grant processing have prevented most affected families from making progress toward rebuilding permanent homes in these areas.

Why it matters
The slow processing of reconstruction aid and the continued reliance on temporary shelters strain national resources in Nepal. While some reconstruction work has begun in Jajarkot District, it has not yet started in Salyan or Rukum West.
