In DFID, as in numerous associations, we spend a lot of our working day concentrated on every day challenges. It is elusive an ideal opportunity to realize what the past can show us. The show has permitted us to do that—furthermore to praise the things we have accomplished together.The accomplishments These victories incorporate the backing for the development of more than 1,300km of streets and the upkeep of numerous more since 1970s. Every pound spent on street building and support has yielded gigantic financial returns. So we will keep on investing in streets.

The Ministry of Health has made gigantic increases, particularly in youngster and maternal mortality. No other nation has accomplished such a great amount at comparative levels of normal earnings.

The late Girl Summit composed for the first run through in the nation is a valid example. You can't build up a country without building up its ladies and young ladies, who make up a large portion of the populace.To be clear, the UK and DFID are not assuming the praise for these accomplishments. It is the accomplishments of the legislature and the general population of Nepal that we are celebrating.
