520			_aThis paper is based on the summary of the governance assessment of Nepal (1998) conducted by a NASC Study Team. It covers the following aspects of governance: (i) Foundations of state power, (ii) Electoral arrangements (iii) Rights and representation (iv) Rule of law (v) Transparency and information (vi) Levels of government (vii) Financial accountability (viii) Government income and expenditure (ix) Authority and competance and (x) Public service. Some of the notable conclusions drawn in the assessment are as follows: highly politicised public service which employs about 4,00,000 persons, constitutional provision of human rights and participation in the political process, non fulfillment of economic rights of the people though stated in the constitution, people's suspicion and fear of the police, partism press media, ineffectiveness of state organisations relating to prevention and control of misuse of power, difficulty experienced by the local bodies in fulfilling the decentralised functions, public finance characterised by large deficits and dependence on foreign assistance, and low impact of training programmes on performance of public servants. - Reproduced
