Department
of Industry and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
launched a portal on investment guide to Nepal.
Presenting
the iGuide to Nepal, here at a launching ceremony, today economic affairs officer
at UNCTAD Ian Richards demonstrated how the iGuides provided all critical
information for investment decisions at the fingertip.
Moreover,
unlike sit-on-the-shelf documents, any element of an iGuides site can be
updated by the government at any time, which makes it more relevant to the
target audience.
Richards also
highlighted the site's coverage of investment opportunities in agriculture,
hydropower, tourism, health services, pharmaceuticals, light manufacturing and
minerals.
The
web-based investment guide to Nepal is part of UNCTAD's technical assistance
activities to strengthen national capacity for FDI attraction in land-locked
developing countries. It is expected that the site will help the government
attract more diverse foreign direct investment in support of Nepal’s
development goals.
Country sites for the
iGuides platform have been launched in Burundi, Djibouti and Rwanda and will be
developed by the end of the year in Bhutan, Eastern Morocco, Kenya, Mongolia,
Tanzania and Uganda.
