Nepal
The Challenge
Concerns for political stability in Nepal are deepening. The Maoist insurgency and crisis in governance continue, worsened since February 01, 2005 when the King dismissed Parliament. The insurgency, the Palace takeover, and disarray among political parties threaten the state's ability to function effectively in much of the country and imperil Nepal's 14 year experiment with democracy. Corruption and a poor human rights record cast a long shadow over the Government's effectiveness and legitimacy among the people. The long-standing sources of fragility remain: poverty; inequities of caste, tribe, and gender; and geographic and policy barriers to social services and economic growth. USAID programs mitigate the effects of conflict while fostering those Nepalese institutions and social forces that offer hope of a return to peace, democracy, and stability.
