Tenth Plan Information

The Tenth Plan/Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper of Nepal is being implemented  from the fiscal year 2002/03.

The Tenth Plan is the third after the restoration of democracy in 1990.  As a policy continuation of the Eighth and the Ninth Plan, this plan has a goal of poverty alleviation  by giving priority to high economic growth, good governance, and social justice. Based on the experiences of the Ninth Plan, programs promoting poverty alleviation and social justice will be implemented more effectively in the Tenth Plan. In this context, strategies are directed towards achieving the goal through participatory development process together with establishing an effective role of women in the national economic and social development, mainstreaming the down-trodden and ethnicities in the development process, and clearly defining the role of government, local bodies, the private sector, non-governmental organization and the civil societies.

Institutional arrangements for Tenth Plan were set-up by forming committees such as of Co-ordination Committee, Steering Committee, Plan Formulation Committee, and Plan Formulation Team. The Institutional arrangement is as follows:
