The Executive Board of the United Nations Development Programme has approved the new Country Programme for UNDP in Nepal in September 2017.

This new programming framework for the period 2018-2022 was formulated on the basis of extensive country-wide consultations with the Government of Nepal and other national and international development partners and stakeholders. It builds on the Government’s Fourteenth Development Plan, the United Nations Development Assistance Framework 2018-2022, as well as the Agenda 2030 and other international conventions and commitments of Nepal.

The Country Programme outlines UNDP contributions to Nepal’s development in three main areas of work: 1) inclusive economic growth; 2) strengthened governance systems including rule of law and transitional justice; and 3) increased climate adaption and environmental resilience.
