Clean energy.⚡Improved local food systems. 🌱
With support from the Government of Finland, UNDP is scaling up the Renewable Energy for Resilient Agri-Food Systems (RERAS) project by expanding home-grown school meals to 427 schools across 10 municipalities in Bajura, Baitadi and Surkhet districts of Western Nepal in partnership with @WFP_Nepal.
By linking farmers to schools, promoting climate-resilient agriculture, and introducing clean cooking solutions through climate smart kitchens, we’re ensuring 30,000 children receive nutritious midday meals every day, while also strengthening livelihoods and local economies.
Together with Finland, Norway, World Food Programme, and the Government of Nepal, we are powering solutions that deliver for people and the planet. 🇫🇮 🤝 🇳🇴 🤝 🇺🇳

Championing People-Centered Justice
Today, the @nepalbar, in partnership with @UNDP's Access to Justice Project, supported by @NorwayinNepal, brought together alumni, young legal professionals, and justice sector leaders to celebrate 12 years of the National Bar Association Internship/Externship Programme, an initiative that has empowered 344 young lawyers across #Nepal.
Speaking at the event, @UNDPNepal Resident Representative @KyokoYokosuka highlighted the vital role of young lawyers as social engineers driving democratic values, accountability, and people-centered justice.
Further, Norwegian Ambassador, H.E. Dagny Mjøs, added “Norway is proud of its long-standing partnership with the Government of Nepal and UNDP to strengthen access to justice, rule of law, and human rights. Through the A2J Project, we are seeing progress in expanding access to justice for women and marginalized groups. Norway remains committed to supporting Nepal’s journey toward a more inclusive justice sector for all.
As #Nepal navigates emerging human rights challenges, strengthening youth leadership, promoting inclusive justice, and advancing access to justice for all remain at the core of UNDP’s support.
Together with the Government of Nepal, the Nepal Bar Association, and development partners, UNDP reaffirms its commitment to:
🔹 Strengthening justice institutions
🔹 Enhancing access to justice, especially for vulnerable groups
🔹 Promoting gender equality in the legal profession
🔹 Empowering the next generation of justice champions
A stronger, more inclusive justice system is possible when people are at its center.

The Norwegian delegation also visited the Chukeni Khola Mini-Hydropower Project in Patrasi Rural Municipality. Through UNDP’s Renewable Energy for Rural Livelihoods project, implemented with the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre, the project is powering homes, services, and women-led small enterprises in Lasi Bazaar.
From micro-hydro to renewable energy-powered irrigation, the Norway–UNDP–GoN–ADB partnership continues to expand energy access and unlock new livelihood opportunities. Through #RERL, @UNDP is bringing clean energy to more than 6200 households across Jumla, Bajura, and Jajarkot—lighting up communities and powering rural development.

Norwegian Ambassador H.E. Dagny Mjøs (@NorwayinNepal) and UNDP Resident Representative @KyokoYokosuka are on a field mission to Western #Nepal to witness how clean energy and climate-smart agriculture are improving the lives of remote communities.
In Tatopani Rural Municipality, they visited the Dhaulapani renewable energy-powered lift irrigation system and precision farming solutions that are boosting agricultural productivity and helping farmers better manage climate risks. They also met with the Dhauligaadh Cooperative and its community seed bank, developed with LiBIRD, which is preserving local crop varieties and improving farmers’ access to quality seeds, finance, and markets. The delegation then visited a local school to see how, with WFP’s support, the project promotes locally grown indigenous crops in mid-day meals under the home-grown school feeding approach.
Under UNDP's Renewable Energy for Resilient Agri-Food Systems (RERAS) project, supported by Norway🇳🇴, UNDP together with @WFP_Nepal, @icimod, and @libirdnepal is enhancing food security through locally driven, climate-resilient innovations. #PartnersAtCore

UNDP in Nepal@UNDPNepal
H.E. Dagny Mjøs, Ambassador of Norway to Nepal, along with Kyoko Yokosuka, @UNDP Nepal Resident Representative inaugurated the Dhaulapani Lift Irrigation System in Jumla today. Implemented through the Renewable Energy for Resilient Agri-Food Systems (RERAS) project, in partnership with the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre, the lift irrigation system provides farmers in Tatopani Rural Municipality with reliable irrigation water. This support is helping households boost the production and consumption of indigenous crops and fresh vegetables, improving food and nutrition security in the region. So far, households have already benefitted from 22kW of energy, enabling irrigation that has produced 47 metric ton of crops. By integrating renewable energy into agriculture, RERAS aims to directly support 10,000 households and improve access to clean energy for more than 15,000 people. #Energy4Food #PartnersAtCore
