On 14 January 2020 the World Bank APPROVED an additional credit of US$200 million to the Government of Nepal for its Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Project, and the AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED on 6 February 2020. It finances reconstruction of a further 86,680 houses on an owner-driven model with grants of about US$2,730 per household. STAGE: financing approved and agreement signed; delivery not verified. CORRECTED 14 August 2026: this row previously dated the approval to 6 February 2020, merging the approval with the signature and collapsing two rungs of the transaction ladder twenty-three days apart. The instrument is a sovereign credit the Government of Nepal carries, not a grant.

Measure and scope
One additional-financing tranche of one country programme, stated prospectively by the publisher: 'will scale up ... by financing reconstruction of an additional 86,680 houses'. It refutes the existence limb of a claim this book withdrew. It establishes NO completion count, NO standard built, and NO scale conclusion. A second instance, the Lebanon Financing Facility at SRC-068, is likewise an approval and gives no unit count at all
Known conflict
THIS ROW EXISTS BECAUSE IT REFUTES AN EARLIER CLAIM OF THIS BOOK'S OWN. Chapter 1 carried from v1 to v13 the proposition that international reconstruction financing does not rebuild private homes at scale. It was never sourced. Sent to source it on 12 August 2026, the search returned Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bosnia and Lebanon. Chapter 1 (v56 onward) states the position and refers the reader to this row, printing nothing from the release, under D-054; the history of the withdrawn proposition is this row's and the edit log's (D-211) || THIS CELL WAS REWRITTEN AFTER THE CLOSING DATE, on 20 September 2026, for Chapter 1 v55 and v56 (the D-211 sweep residue pass and its D-052 remediation, D-054): the register at the standalone-candidate tag carries its earlier form. Dated here on B-1 of the D-213 items 4 and 5 remediation diff review, 21 September 2026, so that the evidence note's clause (the exceptions the register dates after that day) is true of this row.
