Nepal's level of human development remains among the lowest in the world. Development outcomes have varied inequitably, manifesting themselves in gender, caste, ethnic and geographic disparities. The present situation of injustice, inequity, and discrimination, exploitation of castes by powerful social groups and political parties and absence of good governance, increased poverty, unemployment, brain drain, labor migration and the further exclusion of poor and marginalized communities.... HIV/AIDS, drugs abuse.....uncivilized society....

People's needs have gone unfulfilled, institutions have weakened, and policies have not been sufficiently pro-poor, leaving vast segments of the population outside mainstream development. The outbreak of armed violence has exacerbated all these problems, pushing the country into deeper crisis.
