MANILA, Philippines, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- The Asian Development Bank granted Nepal $200,000 Monday to help the country's agriculture sector.
The money will be used to help women in rural agricultural areas in particular, the Manila-based ADB said.
"Because livestock has a vital role in improving rural livelihoods, the (grant) will be undertaken in village development committees," said ADB's chief representative in Nepal, Sultan Hafeez Rahman.
Nepalese women have one of the lowest participation rate in the economic, political, and professional spheres in the region, the ADB said.
