The Youth Co:Lab 3.0 saw destination management company, Dulwa, taking top honours

A A- A+

‘Dulwa’ is what people call a wanderer in Nepali. Often it is used disparagingly but Nipun Shakya found it to be a fitting name for his startup. Shakya’s company, Dulwa, which functions as a digital tourist information center, was the winner of 3rd Youth Co:Lab Nepal, 4th National Social Business Challenge organised on August 29. The winner walked away with a cash prize of Rs. 1 lakh. Apart from the prize money, Dulwa will get the opportunity to present its idea at the World Innovation Forum in Switzerland. Similarly, first runner up Digital Sathi will be pitching their idea in Youth Co:Lab Summit 2020. New start-ups Aawas, SNBP Diaper and Impact Seed were the runners-up.

The regional programme Youth Co:Lab was co-created in 2017 by UNDP and the Citi Foundation. It aims to establish a common agenda for countries in the Asia-Pacific region to empower and invest in youth so that they can accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals through leadership, social innovation and entrepreneurship. Youth Co:Lab Nepal 3.0 was also the third time that UNDP came together with the National Youth Council, Association of Youth Nepal (AYON), and King’s College.
