FAQ

Common questions about supporting Nepal’s disaster response

Who does the UK–Nepal initiative support?

The initiative supports communities in Nepal, initially in Rasuwa and other affected districts, through authorised humanitarian partners. UK organisations, professionals, businesses, charities, universities, and the Nepali diaspora can contribute expertise, funding, equipment, and community support.

Does the initiative deploy independent UK rescue teams?

No. UK–Nepal Disaster Response Initiative support must be coordinated with the Government of Nepal and authorised humanitarian organisations. UK teams should not independently enter disaster zones; the focus is on strengthening local search and rescue, medical response, relief, recovery, and resilience.

How can organisations partner with the initiative?

We are ready to develop partnerships with UK charities, businesses, universities, medical and humanitarian professionals, logistics and technology organisations, corporate sponsors, and diaspora groups, working through legitimate and accountable response partners in Nepal.
