This report has been prepared by His Majesty's Government of Nepal and the
United Nations, on behalf of all development partners and citizens of Nepal.This document, the Millennium Development Goals Progress Report 2005, and the second in the series, shows the status of Nepal's progress towards achieving the goals in 2005, the first landmark year leading to 2015. The Report is a reaffirmation of Nepal's commitment to reducing poverty and advancing human development for all its citizens. Nepal has made significant progress over the last 15 years in reducing poverty, improving access to education, health services, and drinking water, and promoting biodiversity conservation and alternative energy. It is a remarkable achievement considering the difficult situation in the country in recent years. However, some serious challenges remain in addressing inequality and exclusion, which is a critical factor hindering the equitable distribution of the results of development efforts across all geographical regions and social groups. In order to sustain the achievements made so far specialized and focused development programmers are required for the marginalized, poor, deprived, and excluded communities. In addition, improvements in governance as well as conflict-sensitive programmers are preconditions for enhancing delivery. One of the primary objectives of this Report, besides out-lining past progress, is to identify areas for further improvement and to learn from past experience - both positive and negative. This Report provides important inputs during the preparation of the next periodic plan/Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (2007-2012), which will be based on the MDGs in the spirit of the goals and principles of the Millennium Declaration. At the same time, accelerating the pace of development towards achieving the MDGs by 2015 requires not only Nepal's national commitment but also even more generous and concerted assistance from the international community. Nepal being both a land locked and least developed country, the critical role of faster and deeper debt relief and enhanced official development assistance (ODA) complemented by a development friendly trade regime cannot be over-emphasized.
