Nepal’s public debt is more than a figure on a balance sheet, it has real implications for our public services, opportunities, and the future we are building together.
Youth Initiative in collaboration with AHF Nepal organized the dialouge on “Debt, Development & Us: A Dialogue on Nepal’s Public Debt” on the occasion of international youth day 2026.
The dialogue created an open space to understand Nepal’s debt situation, explore its links with education, health, employment, infrastructure, and public investment, and discuss what responsible and sustainable borrowing should look like. Most importantly, young participants took the lead by raising questions, sharing perspectives, and engaging directly in conversations around accountability and development.
🙌 Our sincere appreciation to all the speakers, panelists, partners, and enthusiastic young participants who made the dialogue meaningful, engaging, and thought-provoking. The conversation must continue with informed voices, greater accountability, and youth at the centre of Nepal’s development journey.
The decisions we make today will shape the Nepal we inherit tomorrow. 🇳🇵
