SAMREDHI RURAL ENTERPRISES AND REMITTANCES PROJECT

Detailed design reportIFAD DocumentsBackground document

IFAD in Nepal

Nepal was one of the first countries to benefit from IFAD loans, beginning in 1978. The 14 projects financed to date have mobilized significant resources. For every dollar lent by IFAD, an additional dollar has been committed by the government and other donors.

About the COSOP

IFAD’s strategy in Nepal – based on its Country Strategic Opportunities Programme for 2013-2018 – supports the development policies and programmes of the government and other partners, especially in relation to peace-building, reconciliation, reconstruction and economic recovery. IFAD’s investments reinforce these efforts by addressing the issues of poverty, inequality and social marginalization that have been at the heart of conflict in the country.
