The United States provided Nepal with assistance worth $160 million (Rs 16 billion) in 2016 to improve health, education, environment, agriculture, earthquake reconstruction and governance.
According to the US Embassy in Kathmandu, approximately $133 million of these funds are managed by several US departments and agencies operating in Nepal, including the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).
In addition, $27 million was provided through the US Department of Defense to enhance Nepal’s disaster response and strengthen its ability to participate in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations globally, the embassy said in a statement. The US provided $41 million in support of Nepal’s high priority earthquake reconstruction activities.
“This amount is above and beyond the $130 million in immediate post-earthquake assistance pledged and provided in 2015 for relief, recovery, reconstruction and preparedness efforts,” the statement added. “This assistance will help to rebuild schools and hospitals and provide training and technical assistance for construction professionals and homeowners on earthquake-resistant homes.”
