The country operations business plan (COBP), 2019–2021 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is consistent with ADB’s country partnership strategy (CPS), 2013–2017 for Nepal, which focuses on infrastructure and human capital development, and agricultural transformation. It is also aligned with the Government of Nepal’s Fourteenth Plan, FY2017–FY2019.

This COBP includes support for (i) hydropower and decentralized renewable energy development, transmission lines for domestic and regional connectivity, and energy access and efficiency; (ii) better road and air connectivity; (iii) sustainable water supply and sanitation; (iv) upgraded skills of the labor force; (v) development and management of water resources; and (vi) stronger agriculture value chains.
