Abstract
The 7.8-magnitude earthquake which struck Nepal on 25 April 2015, killed nearly 9,000 people, destroyed part of the country’s infrastructure and left millions homeless. With financial support from the World Bank, the ILO assisted the Government of Nepal with one of the country’s largest infrastructure project programmes – building bridges and upgrading, rehabilitating and maintaining local road networks and river crossings in 37 districts, targeting more than 15 million people living in these districts. The project is expected to create 3.9 million days of paid decent jobs.
