    Poverty Reduction Strategy in Nepal: Evidence from PAF Program

    Khadka, Manbar S.; Maharjan, Madhu R. | January 2014
    Abstract
    This policy brief is based on the study conducted by the Institute for Integrated Development Studies (IIDS) in Kapilvastu district of Nepal. The program has been facilitated by IIDS in the district for the past seven years with the support from Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF). The Poverty Alleviation Fund was established in 2004 with an objective to provide socio-economic benefits to the marginalized and excluded communities across the country. The program has been contributing towards poverty alleviation in pursuant with the long term goal of the government of Nepal. This policy brief highlights the existing status of the program, its implementation procedures, strategies adopted to alleviate poverty in one of the program districts of PAF. It also sheds light upon some lapses as well as behavioral and managerial deficiencies of PAF that have been major deterrents to materializing the objectives of PAF.
