Purnima: UK Support to Post-Earthquake Recovery in Nepal Programme was a five-year programme supporting Nepal’s recovery from the earthquakes which devastated the country in 2015. It helped to bring long-term positive change and resilience to people’s lives through the reconstruction of rural infrastructure, institutional strengthening, and economic and social recovery with a focus on the most vulnerable, particularly the extremely poor, elderly, people with disabilities, single women and those displaced by the earthquake.
Purnima began in 2017 and closed in 2022. It was funded by UK aid from the UK government and managed by Mott MacDonald.
