Background
Five Year Plans of Nepal
Ten periodic plans have been completed in the five decades of Nepal’s efforts on planned development. During this period, development efforts focused on different aspects like the development of physical infrastructure, regional development, fulfillment of basic needs and poverty alleviation. As a result, there has been the construction of huge physical and social development infrastructure and a substantial change in the mutual relationship among the government, civil society and the general people. But the targets of economic growth rates set in the development plans could not be achieved and Nepal lagged behind in economic progress even in relation with the least developed countries. Policies followed in the past, failed to address the structural problems of the economy like inequitable access to productive resources and means, distributional conflict and shortfalls in good governance. Expected improvements could not be realized in the economic and social conditions of women, Dalits, Adibasi Janajati, Madhesis, Muslim community, and the residents of the Karnali zone. Such a situation urged conflicts and provided additional energy to it.
