The current Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has adversely affected the economy and the delivery of essential services, which can have significant long-term impact on human capital. This public expenditure review is structured as follows. After the introduction, Chapter 1 presents briefly the few stylized facts about progress in human capital indicators, key persisting challenges, and important disparities along geographic and socio-economic lines. Chapter 2 then reviews briefly national level spending in social sectors, as well as broad issues in service delivery. Turning to federalism, Chapter 3 presents the allocation of functions across levels and highlights the issues. Chapter 4 then discusses the allocation of resources across three levels and identifies potential limitations. Chapter 5 focuses on actual service delivery at the local level, identifying challenges in implementation. Chapter 6 concludes this report by proposing ten recommendations which will be critical for Nepal to address the structural issues in human development, which have recently been highlighted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis. Addressing these chronic issues will be essential to put Nepal on a path towards green, resilient, and inclusive development (GRID). 2021-07-20T21:25:08Z 2021-07-20T21:25:08Z 2021-06 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/290721625210540609/Federalism-and-Public-Expenditure-for-Human-Development-in-Nepal-An-Emerging-Agenda http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35977 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 :: Public Expenditure Review South Asia Nepal
