This systematic country diagnostic (SCD)
examines the key constraints to and opportunities for
accelerating poverty reduction and enhancing shared
prosperity in Nepal. The SCD builds on a broad body of
analytical work conducted in Nepal, but particularly on
three World Bank reports published in 2017: moving up the
ladder: poverty reduction in Nepal, climbing higher: toward
a middle-income Nepal, and the Nepal risk and resilience
assessment. It also builds on evidence compiled in six
working groups and consultations and surveys in all seven
Nepalese provinces with civil society organizations, the
private sector, government, development partners, and
citizens. The SCD highlighted key knowledge gaps. The key
knowledge gaps include: (a) poverty trends since the
earthquake, blockade, and slowdown of remittances; (b) how
best to increase the accountability and strengthen the
capacity of local governments; (c) the impact of lack of
competition in specific sectors on job creation, prices, and
welfare; (d) the potential for reducing environmental
vulnerability through investments and of what type; (e) the
political economy of multiple ministries in natural resource
management and how to encourage consolidation; (f) which
interventions are most effective to reduce malnutrition in
different parts of the country; and (g) how to make the cost
of migration more affordable for poor households. |
