Nepal

Népal

Avec l'appui du CIR, le commerce a été intégré en tant que domaine prioritaire dans le 13ème Plan de développement du Népal.

Le Ministère des finances a alloué aux principaux ministères les fonds nécessaires à la mise en œuvre des recommandations de la Stratégie d'intégration du commerce du Népal (NTIS) soutenue par le CIR. La NTIS définit 19 produits prioritaires ayant un fort potentiel à l'exportation et le CIR fournit une assistance ciblée pour trois d'entre eux: le pashmina, le gingembre et les plantes médicinales et aromatiques.

Afin d'assurer la continuité de ces initiatives, toutes les activités menées par le CIR sont intégrées dans la structure organisationnelle du gouvernement.

EIF worked to ensure faster growth, poverty alleviation through job creation and enhanced sustainability of trade development.

Results:

  • The NTIS was validated in November 2015 and represents a major milestone in Nepal’s efforts to integrate trade into the national economy. The NTIS charts out necessary action in cross-cutting areas such as trade capacity-building, trade and transport facilitation, standards and technical regulations, and intellectual property rights. The NTIS also identifies priority potential export sectors.
  • Nepal was supported in developing its 2015 Agriculture Development Strategy with a focus on trade.
  • Trade was incorporated in sector strategies for tourism, industry, health and foreign aid.

  • Strengthening the capacities of Government offices, private associations and locals to coordinated project-related activities.
  • Improving market access for value‑added products to priority export destinations through collective marketing and branding.
