Danish-Nepalese development cooperation dates back to the 1960's. In 1989 Nepal was selected as a priority country for Danish development aid and an Embassy was opened in Kathmandu in 1991. For over 25 years Denmark has been a partner in Nepal's development efforts, providing financial and technical assistance. With the reduction in Danish development assistance and the decision to focus on fewer countries, the Danish-Nepalese development cooperation is coming to an end. The Embassy in Kathmandu will be closed at the end of 2017 and the aid programmes funded by Danida will all have been concluded by the end of 2018. In this context it has been agreed to carry out an evaluation of the major development cooperation programmes carried out between 1991 and 2016.
