New Delhi, India GIZ Full time

The South Asia Region is at a crucial stage of development. The rapid economic growth, driven by urbanization and demographic dividend, that was helping to reduce poverty has now been hindered by the challenges of the COVID pandemic. South Asia was particularly hard hit by the pandemic. Even before these latest challenges, rapid growth had been accompanied by increased congestion and pollution in cities. South Asia, more than other regions, has been affected by changes in temperature and extreme weather events, the loss of biodiversity, and other global challenges with cross-border externalities that require the region to invest in the protection and provision of Global Public Goods (GPG). Additional
challenges are that South Asia is underperforming in exports, has large informal sectors and low female labor force participation rates. All these challenges must be addressed to secure rapid growth in coming decades. Private sector-led growth, focused on investments in infrastructure, energy, logistics and cities are essential to generate the jobs needed to employ South Asia’s youth. At the same time, the region
needs to continue building human capital, so the population is equipped for jobs of the future.

India houses 17.7% of world’s population and the most populous democracy in the world. The country has experienced strong growth and poverty reduction in the past 2-3 decades. India is on track to reach upper middle-income status in the next decade and aspires to become a developed economy by 2047 when it celebrates the 100th year of independence. While post-Covid recovery has been strong (with the economy growing at 6-7% per annum), achieving India’s ambition requires faster economic growth; and taking advantage of its large and young population requires more jobs for the youth and women. Now the 5th largest economy in the world, India is increasingly seen as a leading voice and a source of development knowledge. ;
