Author Information

Chandra Bahadur Shrestha, Ph.D., executive member of Nepal's National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) (2016 – 2021), kicked off, implemented and concluded the post-earthquake reconstruction and recovery interventions. He not only catalyzed formulating reconstruction policies, rules and procedures, but also led reconstruction of private housing and infrastructure. After wrapping up with flying colors, the recovery and reconstruction interventions including the world's largest post-disaster owner-driven private housing have been handed over to the respective generic line agencies. As the convenor of the International Conference on Nepal's Reconstruction (ICNR-2021), Chandra led publication of 20 seminal documents. In the event which was presided over by the Nepal’s Head of State and Head of Government, the entire international communities including Ministers, Chiefs of the Multilateral Banks and UN agencies unequivocally extended accolades to Nepal’s reconstruction authority for the state-of-the-art delivery in extremely adverse environment. Prior to the NRA, Chandra worked at the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), the World Bank, Department for International Development (DFID) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). His research interests include disaster resilience and transport planning. He has authored a number of articles in various international journals such as the Third World Planning Review, International Journal of Transport Management and Progress in Disaster Science. He earned his Ph.D. degree in transportation planning from the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand. He is a chartered member of Institution of Civil Engineers, UK.
