HIGHLIGHT
USAID Public Financial Management improves the Government of Nepal’s financial management and accountability at the provincial and local levels. The activity is also helping communities overcome public service delivery constraints in a fiscally transparent and accountable in the budgeting process.
USAID is Committed to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility:
USAID is creating more equitable management systems, such as gender-blind budgeting processes and tax policies. These new approaches will provide more opportunities to Nepal’s women, youth, and marginalized communities. USAID is also working with local communities to increase their access to public services and increase their representation during the budget planning process.
USAID Supports Fiscal Federalism:
USAID is working closely with Lumbini and Madesh provincial and local governments to strengthen fiscal federalism and help the public recognize the importance of a participatory and equitable financial planning process.
USAID Strengthens Local Governments:
USAID helps local governments identify their own critical contingencies and emergency response funding needs in the budget planning process. This allows them to dedicate the resources needed to deal with potential shocks and stressors, giving them important tools during a crisis to adapt and care for their citizens.
