Asian Development Bank and Nepal: Fact Sheet

Abstract

Updated yearly, this ADB Fact Sheet provides social and economic indicators on Myanmar as well as concise information on ADB's operations in the country and contact information. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has worked in partnership with the Government of Nepal since the country joined ADB as a founding member in 1966. The Nepal Resident Mission has enhanced its collaboration with key donor partners through shared background and thematic assessments, strategic alignments, and implementation of programs in support of the government’s own development priorities. ADB’s resident mission coordinates closely with other donors in the annual country programming exercise, which explores cofinancing opportunities and also conducts annual portfolio reviews with the government, the Department for International Development of the United Kingdom (DFID), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the World Bank. In 2011, the United Nations Development Programme joined the annual portfolio review as one of the members. ADB is a partner in the donor-supported, sector-wide approach group in the education sector.
