As result, Nepal is now in the middle of the transition to federalism, and it is understandable that the process will be a drawn-out one, which could take decades. This policy note has been prepared based on the findings, analyses and recommendations of the Federalism Capacity Needs Assessment (FCNA) study. The FCNA was conducted by the Georgia State University in 2018-2019 for the government of Nepal (GoN) with the joint support of the World Bank and UNDP. It has identified the gaps between the needs and the capacity in different levels of government. This note provides a synthesis of the FCNA findings as well as its forward-looking recommendations in terms of actions the government could take in the immediate, medium and long-terms towards a full realization of the benefits of federalism implementation in Nepal. 2020-07-22T14:50:30Z 2020-07-22T14:50:30Z 2019-08 Policy Note http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/209351593616080036/Policy-Note-for-the-Federalism-Transition-in-Nepal http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34153 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Policy Note South Asia Nepal
