000009335 520__ $$2eng$$aSchool Earthquake Safety Program (SESP) a community based earthquake risk reduction/ management program, is being implemented by National Society for Earthquake Technology-Nepal (NSET) since 1997. The program components include physical assessment of the school buildings, structural risk mitigation measures, awareness rising, training to local mason, teachers, students and community people and emergency preparedness planning for schools. The components, approach, strategy and the methodology that were developed at various stages of program implementation has continuously evolved during the process and have made this program unique and exemplary. The program is being implemented in collaboration with the central as well as local Government institutions, CBOs, technical expert groups, Donor community and with extensive involvement of the community in all the process. Till now, this program has been implemented in 95 Government Schools in Nepal which has proved itself as an appropriate tool for Earthquake Risk Reduction in the community due to involvement of various stakeholders in entire process, its’ approach and methodology, components and replication potential. It has also served as demonstration project for study, research and orientation on technology transfer mechanism on risk mitigation measures. Till now the program has been implemented directly by NSET in 95 schools of Nepal and in many other schools through the partner organizations. This paper describes the strategy, approach, components, experiences, technology transfer mechanism, nature and extent of community participation and lesson learnt during program implementation in Nepal and in the region.
