Description
In September 2024, the readiness stage was activated for Nepal’s Babai and Karnali River Basins, prompting anticipatory actions in Bardiya and Kailali districts. To improve coordination, transparency, and accountability during this critical period, the Danish Red Cross, Nepal Red Cross Society, and tech partner Rumsan developed Rahat, a digital tool for timely action. The application was successfully tested during the activation, and this case study shares key lessons.
