Nepal Human Development Report - 1998
Abstract:
The 1990s began in Nepal with one of the most significant political developments in its history. Not only was multi-party democracy restored but a liberal constitution was promulgated that granted the nation an unprecedented level of political freedom, civic liberties and human rights. With democracy beginning to take root and a fertile political landscape gradually taking shape, the country presently allows a big space for people's participation and involvement in all aspects of public life. These momentous expansions in individual freedom must now be matched with equally enlarged opportunities for economic and social advancement. However, there are challenges that lie ahead. And they are huge; despite remarkable progress that the country has made in its very brief existence as a modern nation-state, the majority still lives in absolute poverty. A fresh national effort to take up this challenge and steer the country towards equitable and sustainable improvements in peoples' lives will need to be a concerted one; and it is in this connection that we feel the importance and validity of this report ought to be judged. #HumanDevelopmentReport #1998
