8 C. Nepal (the application paragraph)

1. Statute: the Good Governance (Management and Operation) Act 2064 (2007) — transparency and citizen's charters, time-bound service delivery, accountability of administrative agencies. 2. Constitutional machinery: CIAA (Art. 238–239) against abuse of authority; Auditor General (Art. 240–241); right to information (Art. 27 + Right to Information Act 2064) — transparency as a right; NHRC (Art. 248). 3. Local democracy as governance school: ward assemblies, participatory planning, judicial committees (Art. 217), social audits and public hearings at the local level. 4. Persistent deficits (be honest in exams): corruption perception, slow and politicised administration, weak service delivery, capture of local resources by elites — the distance between constitutional design and administrative reality is Nepal's good-governance dissertation.
