The module aims to improve access to and increase utilization of quality medical care for pregnant women and newborns at the selected satellite hospitals in the Kathmandu Valley, while reducing the burden on and specializing the Paropakar Maternity and Womens Hospital (Paropakar) Kathmandu. Additionally, the module aims to strengthen gender equality and empower women in leadership, management, service delivery and user groups in the catchment area of the satellite hospitals. The recipient is the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. The project executing agency, in addition to the Nepalese Ministry of Health, is Paropakar in Kathmandu. The direct target group is the population living in the Kathmandu Valley, especially women and children. The project measures include the construction of a new satellite hospital in Chandragiri, in the far west of the Kathmandu Valley. The location of the satellite hospital is in the immediate periphery of the Kathmandu Valley, in order to relieve Paropakar of mainly normal and low-risk births and to alleviate existing bottlenecks in mother-child care. The project will also finance necessary medical equipment and the digital connection and networking between Paropakar and the satellite hospital. Measures to promote energy efficiency will also be implemented. A complementary measure is planned to train the executing agencys managerial and executive staff (Paropakar and satellite hospitals), especially in the management, handling, operation and maintenance of financed measures and environmental and social standards.

Context: The government of Nepal seeks to provide reliable, affordable energy to support the economic growth of the country. However, much of Nepal’s renewable energy resources remain untapped and the country still suffers from an energy deficit. Almost two milllion people do not have access to modern energy services. Furthermore, the country does not use its available energy resources efficiently. Thus, Nepal remains highly dependent on imports of coal and fossil fuels which increases its national trade deficit and greenhouse gas emissions. Objective: Regulatory, institutional and private-sector conditions in Nepal are enhanced in order to promote and implement renewable energies and energy efficiency. Approach: The government of Nepal promotes renewable energies (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) for a positive socio-economic development in the country. The project, co-financed by EU, includes the following key activities: 1. Identifying potentials to conserve energy and to reduce emissions in industries and enterprises in Nepal, mobilising private sector investment in energy efficiency measures. 2. Supporting women and disadvantaged groups in enhancing their capacity to participate in energy-related decision making processes at subnational level and in the provision of improved modern energy services to citizens. 3. Supporting the necessary preconditions to promote the private sector in providing energy services through renewable sources to people living in Nepal. The steps include setting up regulatory, financial, and institutional frameworks.

Context: For ensuring sustainable social and economic development, it is essential to generate adequate domestic resources. This is particularly true for a state like Nepal, which has endured a serious economic fall-out from the covid pandemic. Nepal has therefore developed a roadmap to improve domestic resource mobilisation capacity, focusing on both tax and non-tax revenue sources. Through thisa mix of policy and administrative measures, Nepal aims to increase its revenuetax to GDP ratio to 30 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030. The timing of these reforms gain further significance in view of Nepal’s planned graduation from the Least Developed Country (LDC) status in 2026. Objective: Nepal’s tax system is modernized to align with the country’s long-term objective of being a financially stable and investment friendly country. Approach: To contribute to Nepal’s objectives, the RAS project is designed to strengthen the tax administration in Nepal. RAS capacitates the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) through digital tools and enhanced audit skills. Thereby the project improves the efficiency as well as equitability of the tax system, and contributes to enhancing voluntary tax compliance by facilitating and raising awareness among taxpayers. The project cooperates with actors at central and subnational level and provides advisory services to the revenue authorities in three areas: -Strengthening of IT systems at the federal tax authority to improve compliance with taxpayer’s obligations - Enhancing the audit capacity of the tax authority and introduction of new tools and methodologies - Improving taxpayer services to reduce compliance costs
