Nepal emerged from a 10-year civil war in 2006 and still suffers chronic poverty caused by a complex set of interrelated factors including gender, caste, ethnicity, age, religion, disability, language and geography.
Ranked by average national income (GNI per capita) it is the 16th poorest country in the world – a ranking that has changed little in recent years.
