From 17-19 April 2016, the Director-General of UNESCO, Ms. Irina Bokova visited Nepal at the government’s invitation, to monitor the post-earthquake recovery process in the fields of cultural heritage and education. She also visited Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, as well as Tilaurakot where Buddha spent the 29 first years of his life. I feel honored and lucky having received her visit. This photobook is a record of the short but intense journey made by Ms Bokova, who tirelessly met with a large number of stakeholders and partners. Her visit efficiently strengthened our partnership with Nepal. “UNESCO will accompany your efforts to rebuild, increase capacity and strengthen institutions”, this statement by Ms. Bokova demonstrates UNESCO’s history of cooperation and strong partnership with Nepal. Her visit brought enormous publicity and visibility to the plights of the Nepali people, and most importantly to advance cooperation between UNESCO and all partners in post-earthquake rehabilitation.
