Nepali social work

Nepal

Despite social work’s about three decades of history and most populations being at risk of multiple natural disasters, Nepali social workers are yet to establish their foothold in the sector of disaster in Nepal. Part of this has happened due to ineffective curriculum on disaster and social work. And hence, this article proposes how the curriculum for disaster and social work can be advanced in the future.
