THE EU AND NEPAL
The EU and Nepal are partners and friends. Education, sustainable rural development and democratic governance are our main fields of cooperation in which we will invest €360 million during the period of 2014¬-2020 in supporting Nepal’s vision to transform into a more prosperous democratic country with better opportunities for all. The recent earthquakes have dramatically reminded us that natural disasters are a constant threat to achieving these goals.
That is why fostering resilience is a crucial element of our partnership. We firmly join hands in this hour of need. With collective efforts of the Government, the Private Sector, Civil Society and Youth Groups as well as Development Partners it is possible to overcome the trauma, to rebuild better and to emerge stronger from the natural disaster.
