The foreign aid is often donor driven and also not always well managed and wisely spent on national priorities. Further, it is frequently marred by …

United Nations data shows that the size of global diaspora had reached 281 million in 2020, and it continues to grow.

Many countries have designed policies to engage the diaspora more deeply by providing concessional citizenship and visa regimes, and attractive investment opportunities. Yet, there is room for improvement in policies and programs to enhance these prospects.
Since the 2010s, the size and expanse of Nepali diaspora has grown dramatically, the numbers perhaps reaching 800,000 in 2022 in the more …
