Disaster Education Promotion Office (DEPO)

In April 2025, DEPO Nepal became the Technical Partner of Tansen Municipality to establish a Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Resource Center in Tansen, Palpa. Tansen Municipality, DEPO Nepal, and CityNet Plus Arts Creative Center formalized the partnership through a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish the center and support disaster resilience.


Under the partnership, DEPO Nepal will lead the development of the center’s educational content, training programs, resources, and learning materials. The MoU signing ceremony was attended by the Tansen Municipal Executive Council, the Chief District Officer of Palpa, local stakeholders, and community leaders, while the DEPO Nepal and CityNet Plus Arts teams participated virtually.


The partnership involves Tansen Municipality, DEPO Nepal, and CityNet Plus Arts Creative Center, with support from partners, supporters, and stakeholders. The DRR Resource Center is intended to serve as a hub for disaster education and resilience-building, supporting schools and teachers, youth and students, and local preparedness across communities in Lumbini Province.
