French Fries cost too much for too little in Nepal where you have to resort to the statement 'Tyai jabo alu fry gareko jabo yati ko yatttii ?'

Opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated.

Started my day inspired by this earthquake rebuilding project. Ending it feeling another earthquake in #Nepal. I hope everyone is safe.

I leave #Nepal as the country has been hit by yet another deadly earthquake with the conviction that green, resilient & inclusive development is the way forward. The World Bank will do its part to help the country build resilience and harness its immense potential.

2️⃣0️⃣ years of #HICDP s mark an important milestone in over 7⃣0⃣ years of🇮🇳's Development Cooperation with #Nepal. 5⃣5⃣0⃣projects in 7⃣7⃣ Districts have significantly added infrastructure to enhance life quality at grassroots for 🧑‍🤝‍🧑people in #Nepal🇳🇵. 🇮🇳🤝🇳🇵

Ambassador Naveen Srivastava, Minister of Culture, Tourism & Civil Aviation 🇳🇵, Sudan Kirati, and CM Lumbini Dilli Bahadur Chaudh jointly inaugurated an exhibition of photographs by Benoy K Behl as part of the on-going inaugural India-Nepal Cultural Festival in Lumbini. Randhir Jaiswal (1/3)

We started our site visits under the GRID platform for Lumbini Province with the New Butwal Substation financed by Asian Development Bank. It is helping enable cross-border energy trade and ensure access to clean, reliable & sustainable energy sources in #Nepal.

Our 2nd stop: Ramgram Municipality where a World Bank-financed project is supporting the local govt on urban development. We visited a road currently being constructed to connect industrial areas with settlements so local people can better access jobs, markets & services.

Our next visit was in Maya Devi Temple in Lumbini which marks the start of the Maya Devi Trail being developed with USAID/Nepal support. The project aims to enhance scientific, academic, volunteer & education tourism in Lumbini, and attract investments & partnerships.

In Rupandehi, we met the Sinhadarja community forest users group supported by the World Bank-financed Forests for Prosperity Project. It works with indigenous peoples & local communities in Lumbini on sustainable forest management to protect biodiversity & improve livelihoods.

We met with the provincial govt, pvt sector & apprentices under a Swiss Embassy-supported project to strengthen the TVET sector in Butwal. Improved quality of TVET systems can help ensure young people, especially from disadvantaged groups have skills suited to the labor market.

We wrapped up our site visit in Lumbini Provincial Hospital where UK in Nepal 🇬🇧🇳🇵 support is geared towards improving provincial health systems. It is helping ensure the most poor & marginalized communities can access maternal child health services & services for survivors of GBV.
