Kharpunath, Humla
MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Development plans are a very important prerequisite for all higher and lower local governments in Nepal. The local government must develop comprehensive and integrated development plans and profiles. These are a basic instrument for the implementation of decentralized development programs and services by state and non-state actors at the local level. Chay Ya Nepal worked with the rural community of Kharpunath, Humla, to develop a periodic plan and profile.

According to the Local Government Operation Act, 2017 of Nepal, a local development plan should be formulated according to a need based and participatory approach. The Act has outlined the need of a participatory but comprehensive periodic plan and profile of a municipality comprised of sectoral goals and programs that are guided by or consistent with the long-term vision and physical development plan of the respective Municipality.
To fulfil this requirement, Kharpunath Rural Municipality (local government) in collaboration with Chay Ya Nepal prepared a profile of the rural municipality and a periodic plan for the period of 2020-2025.

1. Profile Book: Includes the present status of the rural municipality such as land use, demography, physical infrastructure, institution development, social and economic condition, available natural and human resources. Information is the key for making a long term plan of a rural municipality.
