RAPID GENDER ANALYSIS DROUGHT RESPONSE 2025

On 10 July 2025, Satish Kumar Singh, the Chief Minister of Madhesh Province, officially declared the province drought-affected. In response, a Rapid Gender Analysis (RGA) was conducted to examine the gendered impacts of drought in the districts of Mahottari, Sarlahi, and Siraha in Nepal.

This analysis was undertaken under the UK International Development funded Resilience, Adaptation, and Inclusion in Nepal (RAIN) programme, led by People in Need (PIN) Nepal. The RAIN programme is grounded in a locally led approach to resilience building, adopting a systemic, inclusive, and localised strategy to strengthen community resilience while enhancing national government systems for early warning (EW), early action (EA), and climate adaptation.
