In need of the hour, the US Government has announced an additional USD 5.5 million to mitigate the second-order impacts of COVID-19 in Nepal.
Through the US Agency for International Development (USAID), this new funding brings America’s COVID-19 assistance to Nepal to a total of USD 7.3 million.
“Times of crisis like these are the truest test of a partnership, and we remain committed to building a more resilient, healthy, prosperous, and self-reliant Nepal during these hard times and beyond,” said US Ambassador Randy Berry.
The United States’ partnership with the Nepali Government spans over 70 overs and includes above USD 1.5 billion to support Nepal’s development.
