| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Results dissemination seminars were held in Nepal at the district and ward levels. Government officials, local stakeholders, community representatives, media personnel, academicians and development workers were invited to the seminars. The major objectives of the seminars were to directly communicate the policy-relevant findings of the research to the policy-makers and the community. The participants appreciated the seminars as such direct policy dialogues between academic researchers and policy-makers are rarely organized.
A paper titled 'Entrepreneurship among remittance-receiving households in peri-urban Nepal' was presented at the 33rd Annual Conference of the Japanese Association for South Asian Studies (JASAS).
Journal article with the same title is in the process of publication.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Over the last year, COVID-related mobility restrictions relatively decreased. Thus the necessary field-data that had been pending could be finally received. That facilitated the data analysis process. Findings from preliminary data analysis were presented at dissemination seminars in Nepal and JASAS conference in Japan. Incorporating the feedback from the participants, a journal article has been prepared and is being processed for publication.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Most of the project activities has already been conducted as planned. More than 97% of the project budget has thus been utilized. A journal publication is in the pipeline as the final lap of this research project. The remaining budget will be utilized for the same purpose.
