ADB-Nepal Partnership Strategy
Under the country partnership strategy for 2013-2017, ADB will support the Government of Nepal's development objective of accelerated, sustainable, inclusive economic growth.
In line with its inclusive growth framework, ADB will pursue faster growth in economic opportunities through investments in infrastructure. It will seek to deliver access to economic opportunities through projects and programs in education, including skills development; water supply and sanitation; and rural infrastructure.
Mainstreaming gender equality and social inclusion and supporting related reforms will also improve access to basic services.
ADB will promote social protection through work on disaster risk management, skills development, and knowledge partnerships.
Regional cooperation integration work will be emphasized through investments anchored on the South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation program.
The country operations business plan (COBP), 2017-2019 will support the following:
- better road and air transport connectivity, and trade facilitation;
- sustainable urban development and assessment of economic corridors to improve linkages with large, fast-growing neighboring countries;
- energy sector reforms and investments in generation, transmission, and distribution systems;
- upgrading skills and education; and
- water resources development and management, and transformation from subsistence to commercial agriculture.
