Any literature on Nepal’s industrialization agrees that infrastructure development is the only way to reduce the high cost of doing business. The Director’s core mandate will be streamlining works related to the Infra Cell at CNI. With three successful Infrastrastructure Summits that CNI has conducted in the past, the Director will help process the available information coherently - as institutional memory and defining agendas in the future. The Director will report to the Vice President responsible for the Infra Cell. Upon hiring, the Director will provide a work plan based on this ToR in consultation with the Vice President and the Research Cell.
