Job Description
Posiiton: Enterprise Development Coordinator (Entrepreneurship Cluster)
Number of Positions: 2 (Full-time)
Location: Bajura and Jumla District
Company Description
The Why: NEPAL aspires to graduate from least developing country to a lower middle-income country by 2026. However, the development community’s excessive focus today on socio-political empowerment has not yielded the desired economic transformation. In reaching the 2026 national target, shall we wait for institutions of power to become accountably productive or shall we bolster innovations of people to bring inclusive prosperity? And, shall we strengthen grassroots-government collaboration in shaping an equal and enterprising future?
The How: DAAYITWA, with a focus on economic empowerment, envisions an enterprising Nepal where every youth has opportunities for a prosperous future. Daayitwa is a part of the Daayitwa Abhiyaan which consists of four organizations: Daayitwa, Governance Lab, Nepal Leadership Academy based in Nepal and Nepal Rising (Daayitwa-US) based in the U.S. Inspired by shared values of innovation, collaboration, and service, it promotes the socio- economic development of Nepal. The movement fosters inclusive and equitable economic growth by accelerating grassroots innovations, strengthening government institutions, and revitalizing a virtuous cycle of democracy and development through grassroots-government collaboration.
Our Focus Areas:
1. Enterprise-led employment creation
2. Design evidence-based policies for improved decision-making
3. Build state capability for effective policy implementation
4. Foster stakeholder collaboration for governance innovations
Entrepreneurship Cluster
The entrepreneurship cluster in Daayitwa works in enabling the rural enterprise ecosystem to enable enterprise-led employment creation in rural Nepal with Rural Enterprise Acceleration Program (REAP) and Growth Entrepreneurship and Employment Promotion (GEEP) Program as its flagship projects.
The Daayitwa Rural Enterprise Acceleration Program (REAP) was initiated in 2013 with the mission of “domestic employment generation through rural entrepreneurship for an inclusive and enterprising Nepal”. REAP identifies growth-oriented rural women and youth entrepreneurs, capacitates them to exploit local innovations, connects enterprises with financial institutions, and bolsters the municipal enterprise ecosystem. REAP operates as a municipality-based competition on a one-year timeline, with close technical and financial collaboration with municipalities at the core.
GEEP builds on Daayitwa’s decade-long experience in governance innovation and accelerating growth-oriented enterprises in rural Nepal to create
