Governance audit and anti-corruption compliance training
The Opportunity
As PM Balen Shah rolls out a 100-reform anti-corruption agenda across Nepal's government, every ministry, department, and public institution will need rapid upskilling on new compliance frameworks, financial transparency protocols, and audit procedures. Government agencies lack internal capacity to train thousands of officials simultaneously on corruption prevention—they will outsource this critical function.

Charge per participant + per department retainer for ongoing compliance updates. License training content to international donors (World Bank, DFID, Asian Development Bank) also funding Nepal's reform agenda.
