I’m Rakesh Karna- a policy strategist and development practitioner with over two decades of experience in inclusive governance, shared prosperity, and political economy in Nepal.

I work at the crossroads of policy design, program strategy, and institutional development- bridging governance challenges with evidence-based solutions across federalism, livelihoods, democratic governance, and pro-poor reform.

I write on Nepal’s political economy, democratic transition, and development effectiveness – with rigor, candor, and a commitment to ideas that matter.

Appreciate any constructive feedback at RKarna2000@gmail.com.
