Kathmandu: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Nepal and the National Statistics Office (NSO) have joined hands to prepare a joint statistical status paper on youth engagement in Nepal’s agriculture and agrifood systems.
According to a social media post by FAO Nepal, an inception meeting was recently held to mark the beginning of the initiative, which aims to bring together national data to assess the participation of young people in the sector, as well as the opportunities and challenges they face.
The proposed paper will provide evidence-based insights to support the development of youth-inclusive policies, programmes and investments.
The initiative is expected to contribute to more inclusive and sustainable agrifood systems in Nepal by strengthening the understanding of young people’s roles and participation in the sector.
