Citizens felt to have no responsibility in accountability and transparency. People were not able to get the benefit of service facilities to be available at local level. The problems were increasing due to lack of local government responsible for the public. But country has completed the election in all level and the government is evolving. This has certainly impacted on local level government and its working modality as well. After local people’s representatives come to the local level, the expectations of the people are expected to be addressed correctly. SUSASAN project will facilitate to address issues of the public at the local level. SUSASAN project will help WMG to engage in democratic decision-making and their assistance will increase the prosperity of working area. The government will enable those groups to facilitate the priority of the WMG community in the organization structure. The SUSASAN Project will give the emphasis on the empowerment of civil society organizations while facilitating the right to affect the affected service facility by developing the capacity of the civil society organization. At the overall level, the project will help to develop the capabilities of the civil society organizations and to create strong society by ensuring the participation in their democratic decision-making.

The Project “PARIWARTAN”- PARticipation, Inclusion and Wider CSOs’ Actions for Responsive, Transparent and Accountable Local governance in Nepal is four – years program funded by European Union and DCA and Managed by DCA. The project, as its impact will contribute towards Enhancing Citizens’ Participation in Sub-National Good Governance (Local and Provincial Level) at Sudurpashchim Province in the Context of the New Federal System in Nepal. Overall Objective: To increase citizens’ meaningful participation in Sub-national-good governance in Nepal. Specific Objective: To empower citizens and their organisations to effectively engage with the Sub-National Governments in promoting transparency and accountability in the governance processes in Sudurpashchim Province of Nepal.
With the transition from centralized unitary form of government to federalism, significant devolution of decision-making powers from the Federal Government (FG) to Local Governments (LGs) has taken place. This has provided LGs the opportunity to formulate and implement laws and policies independently focusing on the larger interest of citizens, especially women, Dalits, poor households, elderly, youths, and ethnic minority (referred as marginalised groups). The transition is also supposed to increase citizen-LG engagement and enhance good governance.
