Finance Minister asks WB to lend budgetary support

Finance minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai has asked the World Bank (WB) to extend budgetary support to Nepal.
Talking to Justin Lin, senior vice-president and chief economist of the World Bank on the sidelines of the 'Follow-up International Conference on Financing for Development' seminar in Doha, Qatar, Dr Bhattarai also apprised him of the strategic and development direction that Nepal is taking.
Lin, on the other hand, suggested creating a conducive industrial environment that will help modernise the agriculture sector, attract foreign direct investment and encourage public private partnership. Lin assured him of continued support from the World Bank in the days to come.
Dr Bhattarai also informed the World Bank representative that Nepal is organising a Nepal Development Forum meeting in March 2009 and that it expects a high level representation from the Bank. "Dr Bhattarai also briefed Lin on the current fiscal year's budget programmes," said a press release adding that he requested World Bank to extend budgetary support to Nepal for eradicating poverty, reducing inequality and integrating peace into development -Peace for Development and Development for Peace.
The finance minister urged World Bank to adopt a flexible approach in formulating and adopting a Country Assistance Strategy after adequately considering the unique mode of Nepal's transformation. He also called on the international community to pay serious attention towards mobilising women's potential for economic growth and development.
Addressing a sideline seminar of 'Follow up International Conference on Financing for Development' in Doha, he emphasised the need for enhancing capacity. He reiterated that the present practice of ignoring economic value of work performed by women while determining the national income does not reflect the contribution of women in gross national product (GNP) of any country. "A comprehensive statistical system should be adopted at both the global and local levels for such measure," he said.
Ban-Ki-Moon, secretary general of the United Nations was the keynote speaker at the seminar chaired by Eric Solheim, Norway's minister of environment and development cooperation.
Dr Bhattarai, along with a team of three representatives, is in Doha to participate in the seminar that will go on till December 2. Some 500 delegates from member countries of the UN, civil society groups and business communities are attending this global event.
The programme will discuss the implementation of Monterrey Consensus, an agreement reached during 2002 at Monterrey in Mexico. The conference is organised by the United Nations.

Right now it sounds like Drupal is the top blogging platform available right now.
(from what I've read) Is that

what you're using on your blog?

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.

I have always disliked the

idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on a number

of websites for about a year and am worried about

switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.

there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with?

I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time

choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is

because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking
for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting
off-topic but I had to ask!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems
as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You

clearly know what youre talking about, why
waste your intelligence on just posting

videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to
read?

browsing from my iphone. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that


might be able to correct this problem. If you
have any suggestions, please share.

Many thanks!

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in
Firefox. I'm not sure if this is a

format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I

figured I'd post to let you know. The layout look great though!
Hope you get

the issue fixed soon. Many thanks
