Being appointed as Nepal's first accredited assessor for the Hydropower Sustainability Standard is a profound honor that I deeply cherish. Nepal's abundant potential for sustainable hydropower offers a significant opportunity to attract foreign investment. As an Assessor, I am committed in shaping industry practices prioritizing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors, thereby driving sustainable hydropower development and encouraging foreign investment in Nepal.

An excellent course that clearly linked my water resources expertise to the Hydropower Sustainability Standard. The calibre of the trainers, combined with thoughtful and engaging discussions with peers from organisations such as Hydro Tasmania, Borumba Pumped Storage, the Equator Group in Indonesia, Rogun Hydropower and SMEC, made the experience both rewarding and enjoyable.

The Certified User Training was an excellent and pragmatic course. I liked the design, structure, topics, pace and content which works well for people like us at multilateral institutions heavily working on hydropower in the region.
