Nepal has an increasing youth unemployment rate and a large outward migration of skills. With the global emergence of the green economy, it is key for Nepal to grow and maintain its own skills to support a greener future.
WIth funding from Going Global Partnerships, Exeter College, Outsourcery Services LLP, Devon & Cornwall Training Providers Network and Devon Chamber of Commerce in the UK worked with TVET sector partners in Nepal to establish the country’s first Green Skills Advisory Board.
By strengthening public-private partnerships, the board will help to enhance green skills training and support more inclusive employment opportunities.

- Secured three memoranda of understanding between the UK and Nepal, committing to support the future transition to renewable and sustainable practices
- Engaged key stakeholders in a high-level Skills Summit, where UK partners demonstrated a unique private-sector-led training model
