| Summary: | Nepal’s recent transition to a federal
state structure provides a historic juncture to realize the
role that social protection can play in achieving the
constitutional goals of equity, inclusion, and prosperity.
The transition to a federal structure of governance and the
promulgation of a new Constitution founded on the principles
of equity, inclusion, and prosperity for all have brought
about tremendous expectations for the previously
marginalized and discriminated poor and vulnerable segments
of the population. Social protection (SP) programs, which
have been proven to contribute to poverty reduction and
inclusive growth, have the potential to play a significant
role in meeting these expectations and realizing the
objectives of federalism. The report is structured as
follows, with each chapter concluding with a set of
recommendations based on the analysis. Chapter 2 Provides an
overall analysis of social protection expenditure trends, an
assessment of ability of social assistance programs; Chapter
3 Assesses the policy and institutional framework for design
and delivery of social protection programs in the
decentralized federal context; and Chapter 4 Provides an
overview of planning, budgeting, fund flow, and reporting
processes for social protection programs at federal,
province, and local levels. |
