Description

This Plan, the first one after the epochal political change in the country, has set the goal of
reducing poverty, increasing employment and making people feel perceptible positive
changes. For the attainment of the objectives, the Plan has adopted strategies such as
giving emphasis to relief, rehabilitation and reintegration; achieving pro-poor and
sustainable economic growth rate; increasing investments in physical infrastructure;
carrying out inclusive development and targeted development programs; and emphasizing
social development, which will make people feel improvements in governance. The private
and cooperative sectors will have important roles in the overall economic activities of the
country whereas investments from the government sector will be directed mainly to relief,
rehabilitation and reconstruction, development of physical infrastructure, and poverty
alleviation.

In this Interim Plan, special programs for disadvantaged groups including
persons with disability, women, Dalit, Adibasi Janajati, Madhesi, Muslim community, and
disadvantaged regions have been formulated. From this, I believe, there will be proper
representation of all the groups, regions and communities in the mainstream of the
development of the country and will also help foster a sense of belongingness. For the
attainment of the goal of this Plan, I have hoped that there will be active cooperation of all
including the general public in all aspects of development.
