ADB grant in millions to boost local govt bodies

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has come forward to help Nepal improve local governanceand promote community development. The international body has pledged a grant worth $106.3 million.
The aid will be disbursed in three phases. It will support the active engagement of communities in local governance, improve resource management and dispensation of service. Local government agencies will play a key role in implementation of the much-needed project.
Perhaps, the ADB grant could not have come at an opportune time for the Maoist-led government, which is gradually veering towards a federal structure.
In fact, the Three-Year Interim Plan (fiscal 2008-2010) has put forth decentralisation as theprimary means for good governance.
“It will support the government’s move. Local bodies can be strengthened as it will prompt them to take several community initiatives. There is a greater focus on inclusive development as well,” said Gambhir Bhatta, a senior official, South Asia department, ADB.
The programme will undertake novel ways of monitoring local finances by incorporating gender equality and social inclusion indicators; administering safety nets and social assistanceprogrammes to the underprivileged; budgeting grants to key sectors like education, health and agriculture. There will be a greater coordination among the districts.Altogether the ambitious scheme is estimated to cost $470 million. The government has pledged $260.8 million for it.A follow-up ADB programme grant, amounting to $50 million, is envisaged for a three-year period (2012-15).
It will largely focus on policy reforms.

I have really learned some new things via your site. One other thing I'd prefer to say is newer computer operating systems usually allow far more memory to get used, but they furthermore demand more storage simply to perform. If your computer is not able to handle far more memory plus the newest computer software requires that storage increase, it usually is the time to buy a new Personal computer. Thanks
