@taiwoyedele Regarding solar power equipment exemption, does that include, panels, inverters and batteries? Some organizations are confused whether the battery is included in the exemption. Your clarification would be used.

It's been an insightful few days in Lahore, Pakistan, leading the Nepal delegation from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Nepal Army, Armed Police, and Police to observe the International Rescue Challenge and Participate in the Asia Pacific Earthquake Response Exercise.
We also took the opportunity to engage with the Secretary of Emergency Services, Dr. Rizwan Naseer to learn from the wealth of knowledge and experience of the Punjab Emergency Services (1122) around establishing an integrated emergency services model in Nepal.
It's a privilege to be part of the team supporting the government of Nepal's effort to strengthen regulatory and institutional mechanisms for improved DRM. This support comes at a time where Nepal is facing devastating impacts from recent floods and landslides.

I'll be writing more frequently on Medium about development, the environment, climate change, disruptive technology, career and personal development, drawing from my personal experiences and lessons from work in different countries.
I just published my first Medium post, discussing "How the Niger Delta Development Commission Can Adopt a Dynamic Governance Framework to Scale its Ambition in the Changing Regulatory Landscape of Local Government Autonomy in Nigeria."

We also help delegates navigate the Upper Arun Hydropower project site using VR, to better understand the complexity and need for DRM in such a fragile context.
From #UR24 Himeji, Japan to #IDA21 Kathmandu, Nepal the message is clear, we need to build system resilient in infrastructure development to withstand and adapt multiple hazards in the Hindi Kush Himalaya Region and other vulnerable countries in DMCs.
Today we demonstrated to the IDA delegates how the Damage Assessment and Analytical collaboration between World Bank and the Asian Development provide insight into understanding the underlying causes of the disaster and the development of recovery options.
#UR24 Himeji, Japan
It was a great pleasure to share how Nepal is Rethinking Hydropower Infrastructure Development to Build Long-term Resilience to Multiple Hazards, and to learn from the experience of Nigeria and Ukraine in managing climate and human-induced risk on hydropower.
