Kathamandu, Nepal - The dZi Foundation has announced the successful completion of a Project Introduction and Planning Meeting for its new initiative, Initiation for Shared Prosperity in the Koshi River Basin in Nepal (ISPKN). The milestone marks the formal beginning of a development-focused mission aimed at fostering inclusive growth and long-term resilience across communities in the Koshi River Basin.
According to the organization, the planning meeting brought together project stakeholders and team members to align goals, strategies, and implementation frameworks. With preparations now complete, the team expressed readiness and strong motivation to move forward with the initiative on the ground.
The ISPKN project is expected to focus on strengthening livelihoods, promoting sustainable resource management, and enhancing community resilience in one of Nepal’s most affected river basins. The Koshi River, often referred to as the “Sorrow of Bihar” due to its history of flooding, plays a critical role in regional ecology, agriculture, and local economies. Efforts targeting shared prosperity in this basin are therefore seen as essential for balancing environmental sustainability with socio-economic development.
Development experts emphasize that “shared prosperity” in such contexts often refers to equitable access to resources, opportunities, and benefits-ensuring that marginalized and vulnerable communities are not left behind. Initiatives like ISPKN aim to bridge gaps in development while addressing climate and environmental challenges that disproportionately affect river basin populations.
With its official launch underway, the ISPKN project is poised to contribute to Nepal’s broader goals of sustainable development and inclusive economic growth, particularly in ecologically sensitive and disaster-prone regions.
