Foreign Aid with Roshani Giri | Accountabilitea Podcast | Defending Democracy EP #3

Foreign Aid contributed to 23.3% of the national budget in 2020 and has remained similar since. But, can we identify how effective these foreign investments have been in Nepal? Are we just accepting money from everywhere, or do we have an agenda to invest them in the right places to ensure economic development?
Roshani Giri, a prominent lawyer and academician, helps us understand how foreign aid works in Nepal and how we, as a country, can move in the right direction to not be a recipient but a donor ourselves in the next 50 years.
Defending Democracy is a 4-episode podcast series on strengthening Nepal's democracy against foreign influences.

We have IDCM policy, 2019. There is clear framework about the mobilization of aid on different sector acc to priorities.
The main problem here is weakening of government monitoring and evaluation and public awareness ( Roshani Giri has clearly pointed out the differences between BRI (unconditioned) and MCC).
Informative podcast
