"Our collaboration with Public Affairs Research and Communications (PARC) over the past two and a half years has been truly transformative. Operating from Surkhet, Karnali Province, we often face limited learning and business opportunities, but this partnership has helped us gain valuable technical skills, build audience trust, and grow professionally. Through PARC’s engaging social media campaigns for USAID’s Tayar Nepal, including the Dhukka Series, we saw the real power of effective communication in raising awareness about disaster preparedness."
"Working with PARC is a masterclass in effective communication. Their research is meticulous, and their ability to translate complex data into impactful multimedia campaigns is unparalleled. They are a crucial partner for NDRRMA and for disaster communication in Nepal. Moreover, PARC's commitment to capacity building through journalist training has significantly enhanced the quality of disaster reporting in the country. Their work not only informs but also empowers communities to better prepare for and respond to disasters."
"In today’s context of rising disaster risks, timely and accurate information is key to protecting lives and reducing impacts. PARC has been instrumental in transforming disaster communication in Nepal—training journalists, building their capacity, and producing impactful awareness materials. Through this collaboration, PARC has also helped NDRRMA grow its social media reach from zero to millions, ensuring critical messages reach the public when they need them most. Their work is a benchmark for effective disaster communication."
"BVS-Nepal highly values its collaboration with Public Affairs Research and Communications (PARC) in creating impactful burn-related safety awareness videos. We appreciate PARC's professionalism, creativity, and dedication to delivering powerful public messages that align with our shared mission of reducing burn injuries and promoting safety in Nepal. Their expertise has been instrumental in helping us reach and educate communities effectively."
"PARC has established itself as a true trendsetter in disaster communication in Nepal. Effective communication begins with reducing risks through timely and accurate information. By creating and disseminating effective communication materials, conducting journalist training, and connecting media professionals with relevant experts, PARC has enhanced Nepal's capacity for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery."
"In media studies, journalists are often trained to focus on event reporting; however, their role should extend beyond merely covering disasters. They should provide timely information for preparedness, critically analyze post-disaster outcomes, and assist communities in improving the future. PARC's training/workshops are particularly valuable for mid-career journalists, helping them overcome cynicism and enhance their impact in disaster-prone Nepal."
