Resumen
Descripción
IWMI’s Nepal Strategic Roadmap 2024–2030 sets out an ambitious agenda for research, innovation, and partnerships to advance water security, climate resilience, and inclusive development in Nepal. Aligned with national priorities—including the 16th Five-Year Plan, the National Irrigation Policy, the Food System Transformation Strategic Plan, NDC 3.0, and the National Adaptation Plan—the roadmap positions water as a foundation for growth, food security, resilient livelihoods, ecosystem health, equality, and long-term prosperity. It responds to Nepal’s priorities for socio‑economic transformation, effective governance, and resilient development amid evolving political‑economy and environmental drivers. The roadmap addresses key water systems challenges—from drying springs and seasonal water stress to climate and disaster risks, irrigation gaps, weak governance amid rapid urbanization and federalism, and persistent inequalities affecting women, youth, smallholder farmers, and marginalized groups.
The roadmap identifies six strategic priorities for 2024–2030: strengthening resilience through water systems management; energizing water and food systems through low-emission technologies; advancing transformative and inclusive water governance; embedding gender equality, disability and social inclusion across water systems; accelerating agrifood system transformation through irrigation modernization and innovation; and scaling nature-based solutions and integrated river basin management. Through these strategic priorities, IWMI will work with government, communities, academic and knowledge‑system partners, development partners, civil society, and the private sector to co‑create knowledge and evidence, strengthen institutions, and scale solutions for a resilient, equitable, and water‑secure Nepal.
