Donors working in Nepal lack transparency

KATHMANDU: A study on Aid Transparency in Nepal shows that donors working here are not transparent in their budget and work. Transparency varies at different levels where district or local level executing offices are more reluctant to disclose information than central level offices, the report stated.

The study by Freedom Forum which evaluated seven major donor agencies — UKAid, USAID, JICA, Norwegian embassy, Asian Development Bank (ADB), World Bank (WB) and UNDP –– showed that WB has a more efficient information dissemination mechanism than others.

The Norwegian embassy was the most reluctant in disseminating information followed by ADB.
