Introduction

Invest for Impact Nepal (IIN) is a ground-breaking collaboration between Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and Development Partners (DPs) to unlock and accelerate transformative foreign investments to speed up growth, create jobs, and assist in the development of an equitable and sustainable economy in Nepal. IIN aims to achieve this by enabling Financial Institutions (FIs) and Private Equity and Venture Capital (PEVC) funds to access resources and expertise from DFIs and impact investors for investment into Nepali businesses and develop the emerging investment ecosystem. IIN has been recognised as an example of one of the most successful collaborations between Development Finance Institutions to improve the investment climate in fragile states by the “DFI Fragility Forum” convened by University of Oxford.
