This report begins with a focus on the COVID-19 impacts and policy responses in the Hindu Kush Himalaya paper we researched and released mid-year and key messages from that paper are presented throughout the report, highlighting our response to this shock within the region. The stories in the report are organized around our seven strategic results, represent a depth and breadth of our work, and are milestones that signify progress towards our long term goals. One significant marker of this progress was the Ministerial Mountain Summit which resulted in a landmark declaration signed by ministers of all eight HKH counties.
