The data collected and digitized during damage assessment survey is used to identify eligible
beneficiaries based on Damage Grades. The eligible beneficiaries sign a Participation Agreement
(PA) to get themselves enrolled in the housing reconstruction program. The PAs are signed
physically at the Village or Municipality level. Upon enrollment in the program, every eligible
beneficiary is entitled for the first tranche of NPR 50,000. Subsequent tranches are provided
based on the following:
The second installment of NPR 150,000, released upon completion of the construction up to
plinth level, based on report of inspection team establishing that the plinth has been
constructed in compliance with the guidelines.
The final installment of NPR 100,000, released upon completion of the construction up to
the roof-band level, based on report of inspection team, establishing that construction from
plinth up to roof band has been in compliance with guidelines.
DLPIU GMALI is responsible for facilitating the implementation at the district level providing
guidance, monitoring quality and implementation of the overall reconstruction of local
infrastructure and residential buildings. NRA aims to facilitate, coordinate and manage service
delivery for housing reconstruction, through DLPIUs of Building, GMALI and Education, I/NGOs
and other relevant stakeholders, especially for inspecting and supervising community
infrastructure construction and training and orientation services to masons and house owners.
CLPIU Building is responsible for establishing housing construction standards, hiring and staffing
districts and local bodies with sufficient numbers of engineers, sub-engineers and assistant sub-
engineers to conduct housing inspections, developing and overseeing the implementation of
technical training and providing overall technical inputs to the housing reconstruction program.
The World Bank is financing to support the Nepal Reconstruction Authority (NRA) of the
Government of Nepal to implement the Earthquake Housing reconstruction Project (EHRP),
through International Development Association (IDA) Credit (for Original and Additional
Financing) and through Nepal Earthquake Reconstruction Multi Donor Trust Fund (acting as its
administrator). The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to “restore affected houses with
multi-hazard resistant core housing units in targeted areas and to enhance the government's
ability to improve long-term disaster resilience.” The key indicators for tracking progress
towards the PDO are:
The World Bank has now provided an opportunity to the firm for the services of Third Party
Monitoring (TPM) to carry out field level monitoring to technically review the government’s
inspection scheme on sample basis, provide technical feedback to the World Bank. The goal of
using third parties to assess the status and performance of a project, its compliance status, or
emerging issues through a specialized parties is to provide an unbiased perspective on the issue
and status, and to make recommendations for improvement, where relevant.

1.2 Purpose, Scope and Objective of the Third Party Monitoring (TPM) Program
1.2.1 Purpose
The purpose of the TPM Program is to carry out a comprehensive field level technical
monitoring of houses under EHRP in close coordination with DLPIU, GMALI, house owner
and local authority. The monitoring will be carried out on sample basis to ensure that the
World Bank project is completely utilized to fulfill the objective of hazard resistant
reconstruction in affected areas, which will put a step forward to formulate a disaster
resilient nation and society.
1.2.2 Scope
The Third Party Monitoring (TPM) is a project designed by World Bank to seek services
of field level monitoring to technically review the government’s inspection scheme on
sample basis for hazard resistant houses in affected four districts (Sindhupalchowk,
Ramechhap, Sindhuli, Okhaldhunga) of Nepal. This program also provides technical
advice to engineers and technicians whom are being involved in the inspection.
In TPM project, the consulting firm (M&A-BDA), herein after called ‘TPMA’ will be
primarily responsible for independent monitoring and evaluation of the inspection
process in selected districts.
The TPMA will be responsible to carry out spot checks to a minimum of 5% of houses
(housing structures of the beneficiaries being charged to IDA and MDTF) being
constructed by program beneficiaries in the World Bank supported districts at various
stages of construction. An additional 1% is expected for repeat/ follow-up visits.
The TPMA will be responsible for establishing a central office in Kathmandu and
appropriate number of offices at field level. The TPMA will coordinate with concerned
authorities, for spot checks of houses at post-plinth, roof-band and after completion.
The TPMA will use NRA EHRP MIS data which will require coordination with NRA and
CLPIU GMALI prior to deployment.
The World Bank will be responsible for contract management and supervision of the
firm. The monitoring and evaluation activities will provide continuous feedback (i.e.
immediately following data collection and quality control, so time lag assumed to be
around 36-48 hours) to the World Bank on the project’s performance. As during
monitoring, individual houses will be checked on sample basis. The TPMA will update
data either daily or on the first available opportunity basis on compliance or
otherwise. The TPMA is also expected to provide recommendations to mitigate
negative impacts of non-compliant structures and summary statistics in reports on a
daily basis in case of urgency, in addition to mutually agreed frequency for each
district so that corrective actions could be undertaken in a timely manner. The TPMA
will report directly to the World Bank.
1.2.3 Objective
To provide critical data from the field as input to World Bank;
To timely identify and analyze factors responsible for deviations and recommend to
the WB regarding corrective actions, which EHRP management could take and rectify.
To share the findings of monitoring with the World Bank to facilitate the
mainstreaming of best practices.
Creating awareness on the necessity of seismic resistant construction to invoke build back
safer through interaction, orientation and discussion with local people, masons, carpenters,
low and middle level technicians involved in the reconstruction activities.
World Bank has implemented TPMA project on 14 most earthquake affected districts namely:
Dolakha, Dhading, Nuwakot, Rasuwa, Gorkha, Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur,
Kavrepalanchowk, Sindhupalchowk, Makwanpur, Sindhuli, Ramechhap and Okhaldhunga. The
housing structures of the beneficiaries being charged to IDA and MDTF for the following 4
districts are assigned to M&A-BDA for TPM work:
1. Okhaldhunga
2. Ramechhap

Develop and agree with the task team on the monitoring mechanisms including the tools,
methodology, etc. to be used. The mechanism shall adequately cover all the indicators
mentioned in the EHRP results framework and be gender disaggregated for communities in
assigned four districts. The monitoring function shall help NRA and through them to CLPIUs
Building and GMALI verify the accuracy of EHRP’s own data collection and monitoring
information systems and provide recommendations for improvements in these areas to be
detailed in TPMA’s reporting.
Based on stratified random sampling, carry out at least 5% spot checks of housing structures
of the beneficiaries being charged to IDA and MDTF in the assigned four districts. The
stratification will be done both on the basis of geographical location and the stages of
inspection i.e. plinth level inspections, roof-band level inspections and completed houses
Document and report to the task team (and the EHRP management at NRA, through the task
team), on general and specific findings on EHRP’s mobilization and associated technical
assistance. TPMA will finalize the program of spot checks with World Bank task team (with
the assistance of NRA) under the general guidelines.
TPMA will be responsible to collect and update data. All data and project information needs
to have universal access subject to clearance by the World Bank. Read access to the EHRP
MIS should be provided by NRA.
The consultant will categorize local bodies and wards on the basis of two categories of risks:
(i) Hazard Risks; and (ii) compliance risks. Hazard risks should be all types of natural hazards.
The compliance risks will include risks of noncompliance because of accessibility, material
availability, technical assistance, acceptance of guidelines by beneficiaries, adequacy of
guidelines etc.
The consultant will also identify deviations by beneficiaries in terms of minor and major
deviations and suggest remedial measures as well suitable to the project area.
The consultant will actively coordinate with government engineers, develop visit plans in
coordination with the district and local bodies level engineers.
The duration of the assignment will be 1.5 years (18 Months), with a possibility of extension.

The tasks have been arranged in appropriate activity groups, in which a possible
overlapping of the tasks may occur to ensure better understanding. The detail work
Program is attached in Annex-3.
Before deciding the ways to execute the project, selecting the site engineers and sub-
engineer, a start-up meeting will be held to discuss the TPM methodology and processes
in detail.
For the success of every project it is important to review the already established
mechanism and procedures used by them. Here, in this assignment other TPMA who are
previously involved in such projects will be contacted to understand their lesson learned.
Their monitoring mechanism will also be thoroughly reviewed.
Before starting the inspection of the houses in the field, it is crucial to prepare monitoring
mechanisms like inspection checklist in order to make the survey easier and cover all the
aspects included in the list prepared. Such monitoring checklist will be capable to address
the project output and outcome. A separate MIS will be developed for this purpose.
To monitor all the individual field office at four different districts, it is very important to
establish central and field offices. One office at each district will be established that will
communicate with the central office and field staff. These offices will have required
physical facilities with sufficient internet connection to transfer data.
To conduct the survey and inspection, the field engineers/staffs must be aware about the
technical checklists and procedures to be followed to gather the required information.
They must be trained in order to have rigid idea about the technical and social area to be
covered in the survey and get the maximum results with minimum visit possible. At the
central level, the engineers and sub-engineers will first have orientation about the
project, their roles and responsibilities, checklists, concept of minor and major deviations,
MIS and related applications. Based on the learning outcome, 4 engineers and 4 sub
engineers will be selected for the assignment. In the district, during the piloting, these
engineers and sub-engineers will have hands-on training on the data collection though
mobile apps and uploading in MIS.
Pilot surveyors are appointed to perform the light inspection of the allocated area for
monitoring and inspection. They will adopt the strategy to test the questionnaire using a
smaller convenience sample compared to the planned sample size. For this process, about
a month will be allocated for pilot survey. This piloting will make engineers and sub-
engineers more comfortable in using apps and understanding the purpose of the TPM.
TASK 2.4: Revise/ Update proposed TPM process based on feedbacks from Pilot survey
Necessary changes on the process of survey and inspection will be taken based on the
feedback from the Pilot Surveyor. Improvement will be made in case of major deviation
and difference between the prepared checklist and the result observation from pilot
study.
TASK 2.5: Monitoring plan / implementation mechanism agreed with task team
Group discussion and agreement among the task team is needed to actually implement
the planned mechanism for the survey of HH.
Desk Study
Pilot Surveyor
TASK 3.1: Prepare sampling of beneficiary's HH for spot check and set target number
every month
The samples are selected using the random stratified sampling procedures. The
stratification will be done both on the basis of geographical location and stages of
inspection i.e. houses at Plinth-level, roof level and completed level. The geographical
stratification will be made on the Urban/Rural municipality’s level. Before arranging visit
to the sites, visit plan will be prepared and informed in advance to the concerned agency
like Task Team, NRA, CLPIU, DLPIU and other local bodies as appropriate. Visit will be
planned for every month in such a way that a maximum number of inspections could be
achieved at one go.
TASK 3.2: Plan the Site visits for inspections to finish target number of HH at every
month
To achieve the target of inspection certain specified samples are selected at the start of
every month and proper planning is necessary for the site visit and survey like the number
of target house to be visited every day. The number of sample houses may vary every
month, but at the end of the assignment 5% spot check and 1% repeat check will be
maintained.
Before arranging visit to construction sites, visit plan will be prepared and information
about the target house and its pre-defined number will be gathered in advance from
concerned agency like Task Team, NRA, CLPIU, DLPIU and other local bodies as
appropriate. Further, the inspected sample HH sheet is also collected from DLPIU.
As per the plan, four teams, each team with two members (one Civil Engineer and the
other Sub-engineer), will be mobilized to the targeted area to sample the HH.
TASK 3.5: Carry out site inspection of House for compliance verification
Site inspection will be performed based on the checklist provided to the field surveyors by
the central office. The compliance level of the construction of house must be verified as per
the need of World Bank under the guidance of NRA. The predefined checklist will be used.
TASK 3.6: Conduct orientation and awareness program to House owner on necessity of
hazard resistant structures
The victims of the target area may not be much educated and aware about the
importance of suitable structure to prevent the damage from natural hazards if
encountered in future. Hence, it is very important to provide awareness program to
House owners.
Our primary target is the inspection of quality of construction of house at three different
stages like plinth, roof and complete stage and it must be done carefully because the
entire conclusion of the project depends on the data gathered at the site by the surveyor.
Task 3.8: Collect relevant data on progress (Data entry and Compilation)
Since the survey is performed based on the questionnaire, the data from the field are
collected with the simple yes or no question as per the hard copy. Further, for the
integrity and validity of the collected data, the picture of the house with owner and
deviation is taken. Every major observation will be sufficiently be backed by the
photographic evidence.
TASK 4.1: Share Findings with WB and review the findings to solve the issues at field
The TPMA will provide continuous feedback to World Bank such that the time lag will not
be more than 36-40 hours.
There must be systematic visit plan to the target house of victims so that the owner of the
house and the ones involved in actual construction of house don’t feel bothered and
irritated. Such visit plan will be developed after wider discussions with district level
stakeholders so that the plan will be more realistic.
Distinct and easily accessible coordination medium will be established at the initial stage
of project execution, so that it will be easier to coordinate with all the members
associated with the project and the project is completed smoothly.
It is mandatory to coordinate with local bodies to make the survey process easier and
smoother. The local bodies consist of members who are more aware about the location of
the target HH and the direction to reach. It will save the time and effort if information is
gathered from such personnel.
TASK 5.1: Bi-weekly briefing of TPM activities to the World Bank task team for
changes/improvements in survey and reporting formats
The firm will report the World Bank on bi-weekly basis to inform the status of the project
and to know if any kind of changes and improvements are needed for survey and
reporting formats.
TASK 5.2: Prepare monthly report and submit to the World Bank for review and further
action
At the starting of each month specific numbers of sample household are selected and by
the end of the month the samples must be verified. And the reports after data analysis
and verification prepared will be submitted to the World Bank for review and further
action. The reporting formats are presented in annexes. The formats will clearly mention
about the number of houses planned, surveyed and found with major and minor
deviations. Apart, the report will also explain about the types and causes of deviation.
This entire project TPMA is initiated, so that the World Bank gets the information (a) if the
subsidy provided by them reaches the targeted victims, (b) if the construction is as per
the guidelines provided by NRA and (c) if the WB support is properly used. The quarterly
report will summarize monthly information and will include the trends of deviations and
lessons for implementation.
TASK 5.4: Make all data and project information available on a web-based interface
The data and the final result obtained must be accessible to all the stakeholders
associated with the project and general people and the target household members.
Hence, the most appropriate medium to make the data accessible to everyone is the web-
based interface. The proposed MIS will be able to address this need.

of the project as well as by sending reports to World Bank. The reports will be sent at
regular interval during various construction stages.
Bi-weekly report changes in survey and reporting formats and spot checking are to be
anticipated and would be discussed and agreed with the World Bank task team. Frequent
interactions with NRA teams are anticipated to request inspection data. Summary details
of all individual inspections conducted during the 2-week period and full reports of
inspected houses requiring remedial action should be included in the bi-weekly briefings.
The monthly reports will be factual, focused on the ongoing monitoring activities and
progress in meeting deliverables. The monthly reports will be results-based and organized

Quarterly reports will include analysis of results and deviations by project. These reports
will provide a more detailed analysis of trends and recurring challenges and report on the
progress made over the quarter period. Quarterly reports will be prepared summarizing
monthly information and including trends and lessons for implementation, in a format
that can be shared by the World Bank task team not only with the implementing agencies,
but also with the EHRP donor community.
All reports will be made available to the Bank and its project teams. The report templates
are attached in annex-2 that will be improved by TPMA in consultation with the World
Bank during the upcoming stage of submission.
techniques for construction, social & environmental impact related projects along with
formal/informal methods (including study of project literature, official interviews, surveys,
questionnaire, field worker reports, direct observations and applying sampling techniques etc.).
Once different data collection techniques are selected, schedule for sampling based visits of
project sites may be planned to validate the execution process within a time framework.
This MIS will also be able to generate customized reports. The MIS will be capable to
generate Geo-referenced data of each house including the deviations found in the house.
problems. Although, every member of team are responsible for the quality of data,
in this project site surveyors plays the crucial role because they are the one to visit
the field and gather data. Hence, to gather the information about the quality,
following points must be taken in consideration:
a) Validity: To determine the validity of the data, the name of the owner and the
signature must be included in the questionnaire. Further, to know if the data
were collected at the site, the picture of the house with the owner in it must be
provided.
b) Reliability: Reliability is the degree to which an assessment tool produces stable
and consistent results. Entire project is dependent on the data and reliable tools
must be taken in consideration to obtain desired result.
c) Integrity: Data integrity is the maintenance of and the assurance of the accuracy
and consistency of, data over its entire life-cycle, and is a critical aspect to the
design, implementation and usage of any system which stores, processes, or
retrieves data.
d) Precision: Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to
each other. Cross verification and check must be performed to know the
precision of the data.
e) Timeliness: Data in the form of questionnaire and pictures are collected in the
field on daily basis or on the first available opportunity basis on compliance or
otherwise and each day surveyors are needed to submit the data to the central
office through MIS system designed and developed at central level.
The purpose of analyzing data is to obtain usable and useful information about the status of the
methods and precaution for the construction of the house and whether it is as per the
guidelines provided by NRA or not. To get the conclusion of the project, analysis of data
collected in the form of questionnaire and photos are mandatory.
Data interpretation refers to the implementation of processes through which data is reviewed
for the purpose of arriving at an informed conclusion. The interpretation of data assigns a
meaning to the information analyzed and determines its signification and implications. Data
interpretation in our project is quite simple because the questionnaire consists of simple ‘yes’ or
‘no’ question and the result is quite obvious.
After discussion with the team members, it is then decided whether the data obtained, analyzed
and interpreted is as per the requirement of the World Bank or not. If concerned result is not
obtained, all the efforts go in vain and cause loss of time and money.
Finally, after verifying the obtained data it is finally presented to the World Bank in the form of
reports consisting of Tabular form and may contain the graphical representation as well.
TPM data will be collected in the form of questionnaire and photos. The TPM spot check data
sheets are prepared for three different stages inspection, including technical, household specific
and locality specific observations. The field engineers (staffs) may use additional sheets and note
cards if necessary. In TPM spot check data sheet, every question of MRs is divided into two
answers, i.e. 'yes' and 'no'.
TPM spot check data will be processed and analyzed to present them to an understandable
form. The easiest way to understand the data is by examining it in charts, graphs and tables. The
data collected through questionnaire survey of houses under reconstruction in each of four
districts will be analyzed and tabulated to categorize them as compliant and noncompliant
houses. Houses which do not comply with the Minimum Requirements (MRs) will be placed in
noncompliant category. The noncompliant houses will further be analyzed to divide them as
houses with major and minor deviations based on the earthquake resistant elements mentioned
in MRs. The following criteria will be used for ensuring major deviations, satisfying any other
following criteria:
Span of the wall > 4.5m, Size of room >13.5sq.m, and Height of wall >3.0m.
Construction of more storey and attic than that is mentioned in the MRs.
Absence of vertical members.
No plinth band/beam.
More openings.
Weak masonry walls.
Unsupported/Vulnerable gable wall.
Absence or discontinuity of horizontal bands.
After tabulating the houses as compliant and noncompliant along with their subdivision as major
and minor deviations, the first result from the study will be ready to be examined and
presented. With the help of this table, the findings of TPMA spot checks will be presented in bar
charts (i.e., multiple bar diagrams) showing total sampled houses, major deviations and minor
deviations at every level of inspection. The percentage of aforementioned major deviations in
total number of sampled houses will be shown in a pie chart for interpretation and discussions.
The bar chart and pie chart will help to know:
The total number of houses that need corrections for compliant construction so that
beneficiaries will be eligible for next tranche of housing reconstruction grant.
The understanding level of beneficiaries and existing local group on earthquake resistant
construction.
The results of the analyzed TPM data will finally be presented to the World Bank along with the
completed report.
4. Recommendation
Recommendations for long-term and short-term improvements will be made after the
completion of analysis and assessment work, to highlight follow up actions and to remove
bottlenecks hindering the project execution process based on the following points;
