It was a well-planned, well executed and an interesting field visit that covered many aspects of the response. We would like to express our deep appreciation to the Nepali communities who treated us with wonderful hospitality and warmth! There has been admirable progress in recovering from the devastating earthquake. The spirit, optimism, resilience, determination, and the tremendous willingness of Nepali communities to support each other is remarkable. INTRODUCTION A massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake with its epicentre approximately 80 km north-west of the Nepali capital city of Kathmandu struck central Nepal at 11:41 AM on 25 April. This is the most powerful earthquake to hit the region since 1934, and its impact has been devastating in terms of loss of life and destruction of infrastructure. This has been followed by more than 400 aftershocks greater than 4 in magnitude. A further earthquake of 7.3 magnitude struck Nepal on Tuesday May 12th around 12:45 Kathmandu time. It was followed by six powerful aftershocks within the space of just over one hour. This has brought further death, damage and suffering to people in the districts of Dolakha, Sindhupalchowk, and Makawanpur. As of August 18 2015, the confirmed death toll in Nepal has reached 8,790 dead, 22,300 injured, and 800,000 houses fully damaged. The UN’s Flash Appeal is 57% funded (total appeal is US$ 423,000,000).The Appeal has been revised to include more emphasis on protection issues and the rights of marginalized groups to access relief and recovery support. On top of this tragic loss of life, massive damage to housing (800,000 houses destroyed), water and sanitation supply was partially or fully disrupted for 4,2 million people, livelihoods have been destroyed, and large numbers of people are suffering psycho-social trauma from the earthquake’s death and destruction. Likewise, 4,085 schools have been damaged. The education cluster’s estimated that 500,000 students will need temporary child learning centres to be set up. Out of 39 districts, 14 districts in Nepal have been severely affected namely Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Gorkha, Sindupalchowk, Dhading, Lamjung, Rasuwa, Kavre, Dolkha, Nuwakot, Makawanpur, Okardhunga and Ramechhap. As one of the least developed countries, Nepal’s capacities to respond to the massive humanitarian needs were limited, and the government of Nepal appealed to the international community to assist. JUSTIFICATION AND SCOPE OF THE JOINT MONITORING VISIT (JMV) It has been ACT Alliance’s experience that, after all major disasters, such as Haiti Earthquake 2010, Pakistan floods 2010, , and Philippines Typhoon 2011, there is an influx of visitors to the response to provide direct and first-hand information to their respective constituencies. ACT evaluation reports of Haiti and Pakistan responses reveal that such frequent and uncoordinated monitoring visits take lots of time and energy of the implementing members. However, these monitoring visits are essential; therefore, a key recommendation of these ev
