In Nepal, Oxfam has been working towards increasing the resilience and adaptive capacities of communities most vulnerable to and affected by disasters. Oxfam is committed to building community and institutional capacity to withstand natural disasters, improve livelihoods, enhance food security, and foster resilience. Our various initiatives provide ongoing support to communities and collaborate with governments to improve disaster preparedness and response.
In essence, Oxfam's approach to Disaster risk reduction (DRR) and humanitarian response is holistic, aiming not just to alleviate suffering in the immediate aftermath of a crisis but also to empower communities to build long-term resilience and advocate for systemic changes that reduce their vulnerability to future disasters.
