It was very disappointing to know that the
Canadian government has decided to discontinue its decade long work in Nepal (“Canadian agency to stop work in Nepal” 6 February Page 3). Citing this decision as a part of Deficit
Reduction Action Plan (DRAP) announced in the 2012 budget of Canadian
Government, the winding down of country to country bilateral development
assistance is very unfortunate for a poor country like Nepal. This will force to cease several
development projects being implemented in rural areas of Nepal hampering the social and economic
betterment of the poor. The Nepal government will have to be serious enough
in using development assistance in the most effective manner in the days to come.
It is hoped that the other donors will not the follow in the Canadian
Government’s footsteps.
