Economic development in Nepal faces a set of complex inter-related challenges, including a jobless and slow-paced economic recovery from COVID-19, a changing climate, environmental degradation, and persistent poverty and social exclusion. Good investments and policy implementation need to be accelerated while creating inclusive opportunities and green jobs for the poor and vulnerable who are disproportionately impacted by climate change. Addressing these challenges simultaneously and systematically are necessary to build a better performing economy.
This KGGTF grant has been instrumental in fostering the operationalization of GRID in Nepal through policy dialogue and alignment.
