An Assessment of the Implementation of the Tenth Plan (PRSP)
|
Nepals Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) is also its Tenth Plan. The government began implementing the five-year Plan in the Fiscal Year 2002/03. This is the annual progress review for the Fiscal Year 2003/04. PRS implementation in the 2002/03 was reviewed in May 2004, and the results were discussed at the Nepal Development Forum (NDF).
The implementation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) began in an extremely adverse political and economic environment. The insurgency had begun to escalate amid political instability and the economy had contracted in 2001/02. The economy recovered, compared to 2001/02, while the larger socio-political environment remained fluid and tentative. Insulating the economy from uncertainties and maintaining progress in attaining the PRSP targets, therefore remains a major challenge. Nepals basic economic indicators have improved in the past two years and although still short of the ideal, they remain at acceptable levels. It was possible to attain and maintain the growth levels because of stringent fiscal and monetary discipline, and enhanced efforts to reduce poverty through improvements in governance, corruption control, and continued implementation of targeted and quick-yielding programs in areas affected by the insurgency.
