This was the first time that the GON was operational at three tiers—with the federal government sharing constitutionally-mandated powers with seven provincial governments and 753 local governments. The National Assembly, the Upper House in the Federal Parliament, unanimously passed the Province Public Service Commission (Bases and Criteria Determination) Bill–2075 B.S, on February 1, 2019. This will now resolve confusion regarding roles and responsibilities to some extent. In another development, the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration announced on March 28 that the process of integrating civil servants in all three levels—federal, provincial, and local—has been completed. Finally, the Ministry of Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs identified the need to review 174 laws in Nepal by March 4, 2019, to ensure consistency with the present constitution. The endorsement of two amendment bills—Bill to Amend Some Nepal Acts–Annex 1 (which sought changes in 56 Acts) and Bill to Amend Some Nepal Acts–Annex 2 (which outlines revisions in 109 Acts so they are in line with the constitution) supported this. However, some laws remain to be revised/amended. On the civic space front, there have been concerns raised by civil society and media about the shrinking of civic space and media freedom. Reports of big corruption scams have challenged the government’s commitment to fight corruption and improve transparency and accountability. During the reporting period, a bill was tabled in the parliament which empowers Chief District Officer to prohibit or to impose ban on any protest and assembly of people in certain area. It was criticized because it limits freedom of assembly guaranteed by Article 17 of the Constitution. During this Quarter, the Civil Society: Mutual Accountability Project (CS:MAP) reviewed three bills prepared at the federal level: Social Organization Act–2075, proposed by Ministry of Home Affairs; Information Technology Act–2075; and Advertisement

While the hills and mountainous regions register the highest stunting rates (42.3%), the plain area of the south, called Terrai, have the highest levels of wasting (15.8% versus a national average of 11.3%) and anemia (55.1% versus a national average of 46.4% for children and 51.6% versus 35% for women aged 15-49). Unusual heavy rainfall from 13 to 15 August 2014, triggered severe flash floods and landslides resulting in 256 deaths, and 255 people missing in 42 of the 75 districts across the country, particularly in the Terrai. Among these, Bardiya, Banke, Surkhet and Dang in the Mid-Western Development Region have been the worst affected districts. Several UN agencies and development partners undertook an Initial Rapid Assessment (IRA) in the affected districts. Following the request from the Government, WFP started an Immediate Response Emergency Operation (IR-EMOP 200763) to provide emergency food rations to meet the immediate food and nutritional needs of 80,000 people in Bardiya, Banke, Surkhet and Dang districts.
