Study on Nepal’s E-Governance Landscape

Ongoing Project, July- December 2023

Under USAID’s Swift Expertise and Grounded Analytics (SEGA) Mechanism, DevTech Systems, Inc., provides USAID/Nepal with analytical and facilitation support to elevate the inclusive use of E-governance tools and services in Nepal, as part of the Partnerships for Democratic Development (PDD) initiative. Working with the Government of Nepal (GON) and its E-Governance Commission (EGC), this project is designed to foster inclusivity and accountability within the GON by identifying innovative approaches to citizen engagement, corruption mitigation, and providing enhanced access to government services for all citizens.        

DevTech Systems has selected SW Nepal Pvt. Ltd. (Scott Wilson Nepal/SWN) to support its team in undertaking policy and practice research including conducting intensive engagement with key stakeholders to help better understand Nepal’s E-governance landscape, with a focus on identifying the problems and their levels of importance; understanding what has been done to address them; and analyzing what factors have made it more difficult to achieve the desired outcomes. In doing so, SWN leads the implementation and reporting of an extensive Listening Tour at the Federal, Provincial and Local Government levels, engaging with key E-governance stakeholders.  SWN further extends support in organizing a series of workshops and engagements to share and validate the findings over the course of the project, up to the end of December 2023.
