Organize a South and Central Asia (SCA) Regional Model United Nations Conference 2024: The U.S. Embassy Kathmandu has convened Regional MUN conferences for the past six consecutive years to build network and to educate about critical issues facing the SCA region. In addition to promoting multilateralism, MUN conferences cultivate leadership, team building, conflict resolutions and diplomacy skills. During the 2023 conference, 200 participants from 13 countries attended the final regional conference. The U.S. Embassies from across the SCA region nominated delegates to attend the conference. Leading up to the final regional conference in 2023, the U.S. Embassy Kathmandu also organized seven provincial MUN conferences in Nepal. The FY2024 conference would host 200 delegates including organizing committee members and simulate mutually agreed agenda and committees. The conference will be held in a hotel in Kathmandu capable of accommodating the event. As of 2023, over 1200 youth from SCA and beyond have attended the U.S. Embassy organized MUN conferences.
