National Contribution

Nepal has achieved remarkable progress since 2006. Poverty has

reduced considerably, with the country having halved the number

of people living on less than USD1.25 a day, from 53% in 2003-2004

to 25% in 2010-2011.

Nepal is making progress in education, health care and gender

equality and continues to hold significant economic potential in

spite of the devastating earthquake that occurred in 2015. Mobile

penetration rate continues to grow at a relatively strong rate despite

the growing maturity of the market. The current mobile penetration

rate stands at about 115% and is expected to grow over the next

four years to 132% by 2020.
