CLEAN UP NEPAL successfully conducted a Site Assessment Visit from 27 April to 1 May 2026 across potential Recycling and Upcycling (RU) Groups—community-based small enterprises located in the eastern cluster of Pokhara Metropolitan City. A total of 69 members from 21 RU groups participated in the assessment across Wards 10, 15, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33 under the Green Jobs Creation through Recycling and Upcycling in Pokhara (GCRU) Project.
The project is being implemented with the support of Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) KOICA 네팔 사무소 (KOICA Nepal Office) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) UNDP Nepal, in coordination with Pokhara Metropolitan.
One of the key components of the GCRU Project—the Skill Development Training and RU Group Support Program—is being implemented by CLEAN UP NEPAL in joint venture with Green Road Waste Management. This initiative marks a significant milestone in promoting green employment opportunities and strengthening sustainable waste management practices within the community.
The assessment focused on site finalization status, site conditions, access to electricity and water, transportation access, raw material availability, legal preparedness, group participation, and training needs assessment.
The visit provided valuable field-level insights that will support effective planning and implementation of future activities while ensuring that community needs remain at the center of the project. We sincerely thank all RU group members, Project team members, and ward offices for their warm hospitality, active participation, and continued support. Together, we are moving towards a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable Nepal through green entrepreneurship and circular economy practices.
