The Centre for Inclusive Growth (CIG) was initially set-up as a think-tank to inform economic policy and help tackle Nepal’s growth constraints associated with inadequate infrastructure, flawed macro-economic management and weak policy coherence. It became apparent however that such an approach would not deliver results due to Nepal’s governance constraints. As a result, CIG shifted its focus to delivering practical ‘projects’ that would generate tangible benefits.
