Foreign aid in Nepal has been an early fifties phenomenon right after the first democratic movement in 1951 in Nepal. Foreign aid, since then, is thought to be instrumental in achieving the socio-economic development of Nepal. Foreign aid to this end amounts 26 percent, about 5.4 per cent of GDP, of national budget covering most of the capital expenditure (Ministry of Finance, 2013, p.14). More than 40 development partners (DPs), both bilateral and multi-lateral, hundreds of civil society organizations (CSOs), international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and individual donors are contributing in Nepal's development efforts in the form of grants, loan and technical assistance including external volunteers.
The sector covered by foreign aid are education, agriculture, commerce, communications, constitutional bodies, drinking water, economic reform, electricity, environment/science and technology, financial services, health, industry, financial reform, forestry, local development, labour, livelihood, irrigation, urban development, women/children and social welfare, youth/sports and culture, peace and reconstruction, road transportation and so forth.
