The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) have signed two MoUs to help Nepal government in enhancing reforms in local level governance.According to a press release issued by the UNDP in Kathmandu today, the two MoU would focus on expanding the outreach of UNDP’s ongoing public private partnership for urban environment program in four municipalities, and initiating new methods of supporting service delivery for marginalized groups. The ADB is providing 381,000 US dollars for the projects. Asian Development Bank Country Director for Nepal, Barry Hitchcock said, ADB is keen to work with interested development partners in supporting local governance reforms in Nepal.
