  • Development Coordination
    Civil Aviation Sector Improvement Program (RRP NEP 38349-029) DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION A. Major Development Partners: Strategic Foci and Key Activities 1. Development of Nepal’s air transport is significantly dependent on external funding. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is the only multilateral funding agency supporting the infrastructure and institutional capacity development of the air transport subsector. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) Fund for International Development has also been supporting the subsector by cofinancing ADB-financed projects. In Nepal, major bilateral development partners in air transport development include the Government of Australia, the Government of France, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).1 2. The government's Aviation Policy, 2063 (2006) mandates a liberal, open-skies approach. The policy calls for the upgrading of the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) and other airports, and the strengthening of the institutional capabilities of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN). Priorities are given to the (i) completion of airport facilities at TIA in accordance with the TIA master plan; (ii) upgrading of Pokhara Airport and Gautam Buddha Airport as international airports; (iii) start of construction of a second international airport for the capital at Nijgadh; (iv) blacktopping of domestic airports; (v) aviation safety; and (vi) capacity enhancement and separation of CAAN’s roles into regulatory and service entities.2 3. ADB’s support in Nepal’s aviation sector started with a $70 million loan and a $10 million grant to Nepal through the Air Transport Capacity Enhancement Project in 2010.3 The project aimed to enhance safety and capacity at TIA and three remote domestic airports—Lukla, Rara, and Simikot.
