Why Nepal rural services?• Limited ec. and social progress• Due to adverse physical
constraints and communications difficulties, but also political instability and flawed policies
--- > Ineffective inst. arrangements• Half population is poor, mostly
rural• Services not provided to rural poor--- > Hence the focus of the study

• Above priority sub-sectors are the focus of the study
• Prepared 1999/2000 with a Nepali NGO (SAPPROS)
• Focus on the Tarai region of Nepal• Under oversight of National Planning
Commission• Recommendations were
shared/discussed in both national and local level workshops
• Donor community was involved

Hypothesis/Objectives
Hypothesis• service delivery works better
when people are empoweredObjectives • establish institutional features
of best performing models (underlying correlation between efficiency vs. degree of participation)
• determine policy conditions for models to work and be upscaled
![Page 10: 1 Delivery of Rural Services NEPAL Namaste !. 2 Why Nepal rural services? Limited ec. and social progress Due to adverse physical constraints and communications](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d955503460f94a7d72f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Conceptual framework
• Provisioning and production of services
• Polycentricity, co-production and competition
• Public vs. private services• Subsidiarity• Social capital development
![Page 11: 1 Delivery of Rural Services NEPAL Namaste !. 2 Why Nepal rural services? Limited ec. and social progress Due to adverse physical constraints and communications](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d955503460f94a7d72f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Methodology
• Case study approach: sample of 60 purposely selected case-studies
• Define and classify services • Identify delivery actors and steps• Develop generic models• Assess performance (efficiency
and process=farmer participation)

Key institutional actors
• Individual end-users/beneficiaries: rural dwellers in the broader sense
• CBOs: including User Groups and community associations
• NGOs: national, international, local• Decentralized bodies: local
governments (DDCs/VDCs)• Government agencies: local services of
ministries, public agencies and projects
• Private sector: individual operators, companies or industry associations

Service delivery cycleProvisioning stage
- Initiation: formulation of request - Planning: preparation/design - Res. mobilization: funds and others - Resource allocation amongst projects
Production stage - Project execution/service delivery - O&M: operation and maintenance - M&E: Monitoring and Evaluation

Agricultural Services:
research and
extension
![Page 19: 1 Delivery of Rural Services NEPAL Namaste !. 2 Why Nepal rural services? Limited ec. and social progress Due to adverse physical constraints and communications](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d955503460f94a7d72f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Agricultural research
• in Nepal: - agricultural research is mostly
applied and adaptive
• in this study:– crop variety selection and
improvement– breeder and foundation seed
production
![Page 20: 1 Delivery of Rural Services NEPAL Namaste !. 2 Why Nepal rural services? Limited ec. and social progress Due to adverse physical constraints and communications](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d955503460f94a7d72f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Agricultural extension
• Information about technology• Exposure to performance of
technology (demonstrations)• Practical and cognitive skills• Identify problems and opportunities• Technical advice to solve problems• Market information: prices, demand

Research: main findings
• NGO model facilitates identification of relevant researchable problems with farmer involvement
• Public sector funding is needed for public goods research (food crops) but on competitive basis (funds)
• Agency/private model effective for industrial crops

Extension: main findings• NGO (best)
– integrated with other services– full participation of clients– builds social capital
• Agency (worst)– quality and coverage poor and costly– lack transparency
• Private (OK for special cases)– effective for specific types of service
![Page 28: 1 Delivery of Rural Services NEPAL Namaste !. 2 Why Nepal rural services? Limited ec. and social progress Due to adverse physical constraints and communications](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d955503460f94a7d72f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Recommendations: research
• Agenda setting by stakeholders• Collaborative research
(NARC/NGO/private)• Public funding of research through:
– core funding– autonomous research fund (competitive)– commissioning NGOs for adaptive research
• Cost recovery for private benefit• Capacity building in NGO, private sector
![Page 29: 1 Delivery of Rural Services NEPAL Namaste !. 2 Why Nepal rural services? Limited ec. and social progress Due to adverse physical constraints and communications](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d955503460f94a7d72f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Recommendations: extension
• Private sector for private goods– capacity building– credit for agro-vets– regulations to assure quality
• Private/NGO sector for public goods (subsistence crops)– experiment with contracting
• Industrial commodities (sugar cane)– leave to private sector

31
Summary findings• Strong correlation between efficiency
and beneficiary involvement.• Pure agency model consistently rates
lowest. Agency-managed projects are systematically larger/more complex + involve perverse subsidies + clear lack of accountability and transparency
• Community-based arrangements rate higher. Not panacea ---> partnerships better. Lack of capacity and social capital need to be addressed.
![Page 32: 1 Delivery of Rural Services NEPAL Namaste !. 2 Why Nepal rural services? Limited ec. and social progress Due to adverse physical constraints and communications](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d955503460f94a7d72f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Key messages
• Change paradigm: disengage agencies and get CBOs involved
• Rely on NGOs and private sector for technical support in service delivery
• Rely on local (vs. central) government for provisioning
• Build social capital• Better governance/transparency• Arrangements to be sector-specific
(sectoral funds) and tailored to local circumstances
