Improving access to affordable and quality internet is central to Nepal\u2019s development and economic growth, and a key part of UN Sustainable Development Goal 9.<\/p>\n<p>WorldLink has grown into Nepal\u2019s largest internet service provider, laying over 8000km of fibre and reaching some of the country\u2019s most remote places such as Chhatrakot Rural Municipality and Ruru Rural Municipality. It is also participating in a government subsidy scheme to extend internet services to Karnali, the most \u00a0mountainous and underdeveloped province in Nepal.<\/p>\n<p>CDC\u2019s capital will accelerate its expansion, helping WorldLink to provide even more small businesses and families with a reliable internet source. This advanced connectivity will help stimulate the growth of businesses and the local economy as they open commercial communications on a global platform.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Happy to share that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DFID_UK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DFID_UK<\/a>&#8216;s dev finance institution <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CDCgroup?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CDCgroup<\/a> has invested ~$12m in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WorldLink?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WorldLink<\/a>, Nepal&#8217;s largest private internet service provider.
