ALIGN - Learning Visit: Nepal Government Officials Participate in an Enriching Experience in India

WWF-Nepal organized a visit to India for government officials from Nepal in December 2023. The delegates visited several important sites in Haridwar and Dehradun and interacted with experts and officials from India. They also observed sites with successful examples of wildlife-friendly infrastructure and safeguard measures. This was the second visit of this kind, after the first visit to the same site by federal-level stakeholders in August 2023.

The visit’s main objective was to facilitate cross-learning, best practices sharing, and field observation to broaden and enhance participants’ knowledge and understanding of natural resource safeguards in linear infrastructure. Fifteen government officials from federal and provincial ministries related to forestry, environment, physical infrastructure development, and province policy and planning commissions participated in the visit.
