Private Sector Participation in Labour Migration Management in Nepal

This project aims to contribute to the GoN’s initiatives to generate employment opportunities and an environment for safer migration through public private partnerships in migration management. The project will engage with the private sector to mobilize resources to establish an agricultural training center and to enhance the knowledge and skills of farmers (focused on potential migrants and returnee migrants) on agro processing of plants and herbs, which will seek to improve the agro products and create opportunities for farmers for income generation activities.

Furthermore, the project aims to impart financial literacy such as saving, investment, household budgeting and financial management skills to Remittance Receiving Households (RRHHs), while facilitating co-ordination among the financial institutions to extend their outreach to the underserved and rural communities in Nepal, particularly in places where labour migration is high.
