Nepal will get aid from Germany worth 51 million euros.
In Berlin, Germany's capital, the governments of Nepal and Germany have finished their bilateral discussions about development aid. It was decided during the negotiations to mobilize 51 million euros in technical and financial support from the German government over the following two years.
It has been decided that the funds will be used to support the development of green and renewable energy, institutional strengthening of various government agencies, economic and social development, and the creation of high-quality health sector infrastructure and access to healthcare services in Nepal.
During the negotiations, the Nepali side asked to maintain and expand the support it was receiving from the German government, noting that the development partner's role will be crucial to Nepal's achievement of its 2030 sustainable development goal and to the country's continued development campaign after it is upgraded from a least developed to a developing nation.
The German government has stated that it will continue to support Nepal's development initiatives. Climate change, gender parity, environmental sustainability, reducing poverty, and other issues were covered in the process.
Dhaniram Sharma, joint secretary of the Ministry of Finance, led the negotiations on behalf of the Nepali delegation, and Warvel Koffler, Parliamentary State Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Economic Assistance and Development, led the negotiations on behalf of the German government. On that occasion, Ramkaji Khadka, the ambassador of Nepal to Germany, was in attendance.
