Over the years since the restoration of democratic politics in 1990-91, I have served as a consultant in Nepal for USAID to prepare strategy assessments for supporting democratization and evaluate projects in the democracy/governance sector.   These various reports provide an ongoing series of observations on the state of play in the country’s political trajectory during that time.
