In 2015, Central Nepal was shaken by a massive earthquake causing large number of loss of life and damage to private and public property. The disaster received an immediate global attention. Nepalese government received significant support from international agencies in the form of rescue and relief operations as well as commitments of funds for reconstruction. However significant progress has not been achieved in reconstruction of damaged structures even after three years of the devastation. There may be several reasons behind this. One of the reasons is the lack of proper reconstruction framework. The entire damaged infrastructure cannot be reconstructed at the same time because of low economy and lack of enough funds. The Nepalese government failed to prioritize the sectors so that the reconstruction can be completed in a stepwise manner based on the priority. The prioritization process is complex as one has to consider multiple factors, subfactors and the alternatives to be prioritized. Further, it becomes very important to take care of all the stakeholders’ interest in the matter. The process requires multi-criteria decision analysis. This research develops a decision making model based on Analytic Hierarchy Process which can assist government in prioritizing post disaster reconstruction process. The decision making model can be applicable to various kinds of disasters in developing countries.
