Fusemachines and Daayitwa, today announced the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that stems from the common vision of the two organizations to strengthen youth-government collaboration and promote evidence-based policymaking in Nepal. As part of the agreement, Fusemachines, a long-term funding partner for Daayitwa Nepal Public Policy Fellowship, will sponsor one Daayitwa Fellow for the 2022 cycle.
Fusemachines and Daayitwa share a common vision for an enterprising Nepal and overall advancement of innovation and collaboration within the country. Since 2013, Daayitwa has mobilized 11 cohorts of 141 Fellows (Nepali youth from 30 countries) to collaborate with 51 governmental organizations (federal, provincial and local levels) and 24 parliamentarians to conduct policy research.
The Fellows are selected through a rigorous global call for applications and conduct 3 to 6 months policy research on various topics finalized as per the government needs across 5 themes - access to investment, youth employment, women’s economic empowerment, value chain and governance reform.
“As a company that values the power of data and insights, we applaud Daayitwa’s efforts to advance evidence-based decisions and policies,” said Parag Shrestha, Managing Director, South Asia at Fusemachines. “We are excited to further our commitment towards an organization that empowers today’s youth with opportunities to change tomorrow’s outlook and creates the promise of better socio-economic opportunities.”
“Daayitwa Fellowship is an unparalleled opportunity for young talented minds, perfected through decade-long rigorous experimentation. Fellows benefit from a rare insider view of how the government operates while contributing directly to the public policy process.” Dr. Pukar Malla, Founder and Chairperson, Daayitwa.
