Nepal is one of the countries in South Asia, and it is categorized as the poorest, in that it cannot run sustainable development without aid from nongovernmental organizations. This country has suffered poor governance, unemployment, inadequate health facilities and lack of resources. Lack of all these led to many nongovernmental organizations to chip in and come up with programs providing different services such as education, agricultural production, health care and even loans to small business starters to elevate their living standards (Byers, 2007). These organizations came up as early as 1950, and over time, they drastically improved and became so many in the 1990s, and this was as a result of political stability that was seen after the restoration of multiparty in 1990. In this essay, we are going to discuss a number of these NGOs that support philanthropy in Nepal.
The World Bank has offered much aid and helps to Nepal through private organizations, free markets, and it has also supported private ownership of companies or service providing firms. This will bring up competition that is crucial in business. Nepal adopted a free market which promoted private organizations as stipulated by the World Bank, and this greatly improved on its economy. This was also important to keep on toes the unrewarding and corrupt administration. Because of the competition, the workers had to work so hard to meet the set targets.
External developmental partners have played a significant role in Nepal, in the education system basically, and they have been involved in the construction of public schools.

Learners from well of backgrounds could, therefore, attend private schools where the type of education offered was quality, and those from humble backgrounds had to survive in this. The EDPs also got involved in policymaking, program designing and implementation in a range of areas more so education. This included education for all (2003-2009), and community school support program (CSSP, 2003-2009). The most recent being the school sector reform system plan (2009-2015) that received the US $624 Million over five years. Nevertheless, despite all this conspicuous aid on education, the standards of education never raised because of conflict that was created way back.
Nepal's health sector has also received noteworthy help from the EDPs because of international aid and the EDPs finance about half of Nepal's health budget. These individual organizations have also played a role in several health policy initiatives in Nepal and also the provision of essential health packages in Nepal. Although despite all this, universal health has been a long tall order for Nepal. This is because of many vices involved in the system that include: corruption, shortage of trained health workers and also politicization of the activities. If the system is cleaned of these evils, then it is more likely that things co...
