Nepal: Country Operations Business Plan (2020-2022)

The country operations business plan (COBP), 2020–2022 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for Nepal is guided by ADB’s country partnership strategy (CPS), 2020–2024. The objectives of the CPS, 2020–2024 are to (i) improve infrastructure for private sector-led growth, (ii) improve access to devolved services, and (iii) promote environmental sustainability and resilience. The CPS and the COBP, 2020–2022 contribute to the government’s 15th plan for FY2020–FY2024 that aims at high and equitable national income; economic and social justice and poverty reduction; building human capital; universal, affordable, and modern infrastructure for connectivity (including urban and rural infrastructure); high and sustainable production and productivity (including increased agriculture productivity); healthy and balanced ecosystem (including resilience to climate change and natural disasters); and good governance.
