The completion of the Dhap Dam project, funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and implemented by the Nepal government, revives the hope that the holy river Bagmati is reviving. The project is small but significant in terms of increasing the amount of water in the river. At a time when the distribution of drinking water from Melamchi has improved the valley's water supply in recent days, the completion of Dhap Dam will contribute to an increase in Bagmati water level during the dry season. However, complete restoration of the Bagmati River's natural, cultural, and spiritual components will be possible only after the construction of the Nagmati Dam. As a result, the time has come to begin construction.

The European Union and Helvetas Nepal-funded PROYEL (Promotion of Youth Engagement in Local Government Process) reached out to the young women on its Youth Panel by sharing the experiences of three members of the Youth Sounding Board. PROYEL's focus was on the theme of International Women's Day 2023 (IWD). Since one of the objectives of the PROYEL is to inform, educate, engage and involve Nepali young in local government processes, expanding access to digital innovation is crucial to the project's success. Using digital technologies and tools can hasten empowerment and equality. The PROYEL initiative hopes to connect its youth panel with members of the Youth Sounding Board through the podcast and spread the IWD message of DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality
