Annual Report 2014 - United Nations Development Assistance Framework for Nepal 2013-2017
|
The second year of the implementation of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2013 – 2017 in Nepal was marked by the formation of a new government in February 2014, with the task of promulgating a new constitution. Despite the commitment of the political parties to promulgate the constitution by 22 January, 2015, towards the end of the year it became evident the constitution drafting remains in limbo. This is mainly due to lack of consensus among the political parties on the contentious issues of state restructuring and federalism, forms of governance, the electoral and judicial system. This has led to prolonged transition resulting in increased political uncertainties.
As this UNDAF 2014 Annual Report attests, despite the challenging environment, the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) together with the Government of Nepal achieved impressive results under each of the three UNDAF components of: Advancing equality through equity; Protecting development gains; and Creating an enabling environment for enhanced international cooperation. In 2014, the UNCT delivered USD 124 million, of which USD 98 million was invested in development and USD 25 million was mobilized to meet humanitarian needs.
With only a year left to the 2015 deadline, Nepal is on track to meet most of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Nevertheless, persistent challenges remain in achieving some of them, namely those pertaining to full employment and climate change. Particular attention has been paid to meeting the goal on sanitation through continuing the implementation of a MDG Acceleration Framework.
