Ltd. Dilibazar, Kathmandu "All views expressed in articles are those of the author and do not represent the views of PEFA Secretariat" ii PEFA Journal EDITORIAL The Constitution of Nepal (2015) has changed governance into federal system which will lead to restructuring in legal, administrative, financial and social sector. Public financial Management (PFM) being at the heart of all these reforms has major responsibility to internalize all the changes and reforms for balancing stability through economic responsiveness. Being focal point of the institutional, technical, administrative and political capacities of government PFM reform activities should be well focused for effective implementation of new system and harmonize all dimensions of governance. If the expectation will be met PFM will not only help the country to establish good governance but also assist to achieve sustainable economic growth. But even after a decade, many fundamental reforms in PFM remain to be completed, and effective past reform initiatives are being rethought for updating and sustainability in newly applied three tier governance system. Hence, the challenges that PFM reform Nepal is facing in transition that strive to achieve an acceptable standard of performance in PFM sector will be even higher and a sound PFM reform can be a panacea for all the challenges.

This updated M&E Plan, including its added/revised/updated indicators and targets, will have very good programmatic meaning for the program’s overall performance monitoring process in the future.

  • Analysis on Causes of Deforestation and Forest Degradation of Dang District: Using DPSIR Framework
    Nep J Environ Sci (2015), 3, 27-34 ISSN 2350-8647 Research Article Analysis on causes of deforestation and forest degradation of Dang district: using DPSIR framework Krishna Dev Hengaju1* and Ugan Manandhar2 1School of Environmental Science and Management, Pokhara University (affiliated), Kathmandu, Nepal 2World Wildlife Fund, Kathmandu, Nepal Abstract Forests play a prodigious significance in many aspects. It is home to sundry species that exist on earth. Further, forest plays vital role as sinks of CO 2 and has been estimated that standing forests sequester about 20% of global CO 2 emission. However, deforestation and forest degradation (D & D) has been continued to be a major global environmental problem. The study was focused on identifying the causes of D & D of Dang district using the Drivers – Pressures – State – Impacts – Responses (DPSIR) framework. A detailed review of relevant and existing literatures about the study area was done and also field observation and survey was carried out during the study in different village development committees (VDCs) of Dang district. Data and information collected were used for preparing the DPSIR model framework making the DPSIR key words table and DPSIR map. The VDCs were identified by comparing the land use land cover map of Dang district of 2000 and 2010. The study reveals that main causes of D & D in Dang District are forest encroachment, population growth, forest fire, urbanization, infrastructure development, illegal harvesting of forest resources, etc. It is causing a serious impact on environment. In order to overcome with the situation, government, with an effort from community people, has started awareness programs and many other activities under forest management programs.
