What Blocks Nepal
Ten systemic barriers that slow development. Each one is tracked in this index.
Political instability
Frequent government changes destroy long-term execution
Corruption
Money leaks before reaching people — CPI score 34/100
Weak implementation
Only 60-70% of capital budget reaches the ground
Youth migration
Nepal loses its most productive citizens to foreign employment
Education-employment gap
Certificates do not equal skills or jobs
Low domestic production
Economy depends on remittances (~26% of GDP), not production
Slow justice system
Contract enforcement takes 900+ days — deterring investment
Infrastructure gaps
Only 3,000 MW hydropower installed vs 83,000 MW potential
Women and child safety
40% child marriage rate despite being illegal
Weak data systems
Cannot manage what you do not measure — CBS gaps persist
