UKaid सीप is brokering transformational partnerships with private and public sector to propel growth of employment and entrepreneurial opportunities in priority sectors – commercial agriculture, light manufacturing, tourism, ICT, and construction – primarily in Province 2 and Lumbini Province.

We use an innovative Challenge Fund and Technical Assistance mechanism to build a more productive and equitable market-based skilling, access to finance, and ethical migration service and system linked to livelihood generation for Nepali youth.

Through strategic, sustained engagements with the Government of Nepal, at all three tiers, we are paving the path to build stronger public-private collaborations.

Using collaborative impact and blended finance approach, we try to unlock private and public capital and facilitate system-wide collaborations aimed at addressing systemic job and labor market constraints while harnessing the benefits of migration for Nepal’s sustained economic development.
