@csapkota While good macro policies are important, Nepal should take advantage of devolved opportunities to accelerate economic growth at local levels where the most meaningful impact is to be had. Nepal's growth has consistently been too low and slow. So local inclusive growth agendas.

Revitalizing growth in #Nepal after the poor economic performance in FY2023 will require improving domestic resource mobilization and the budget execution rate, and taking decisive policy reforms to boost private sector confidence. kathmandupost.com/money/2023/05/…

@AfDB_Group It's not the only flagging sector with huge potential. Much more investment and technical support needed to accelerate creative entrepreneurs that can drive growth.

#DidYouKnow Africa produces about 75% of the world’s cocoa, yet the continent gets just 5% of the US$100 billion annual chocolate market value. How can we end this paradox once and for all? We MUST develop value chains & process 🍫 in 🌍! RT if you agree and share your thoughts!
