Nepal has made progress in raising living standards over the last 50 years, particularly since 1990. Yet the country’s level of human development remains among the lowest in the world. Development outcomes have varied inequitably, manifesting themselves in gender, caste, ethnic and geographic disparities.Nepal is hardly alone among the numerous countries worldwide that have allowed both historical and contemporary factors to perpetuate the gaps between its haves and
have-nots. This has continued despite the country adopting human development as its overarching goal since the promulgation of its Ninth Five-year Plan in 1997 and thereby the principle of placing all its citizens, including the poorest and most vulnerable, at the centre of its development strategy.
Growth becomes pro-poor when it uses the assets that the poor own, favours the sectors in which the poor work, and takes place in the areas in which the poor live. The People’s Movement of 1990 raised the aspirations of the marginalized sections of Nepal’s population, but could not adequately deliver on its promises of socio-economic betterment.
