India and Indonesia are good examples of how it can work," N. Penasack recently said to me. For an example of how leaders can make all the difference in people's living conditions, there is no better example than Japan.
There are some poverty alleviation programs developed and implemented in the country, however. Surendra Pradhanang of Nepal, an award-winning personality whose work has helped create a new face for tourism and economic development, and is the best thinker in regard to both village development and national development, offered, "We are on the effort of combating poverty. Theoretically, political leaders, ministers, N. But the implications of poverty alleviation programs, as experienced, are too weak and ineffective to cope with the actual condition of poverty.
Pradhanang continued. Due to poor implementation and the absence of honesty, the output of the programs could not have resulted in significance. Analytically, despite the programs undertaken, no progress was made in combating poverty. In Nepal there is still no peaceful environment and secure lives for the people.
The national politics led by the slogan of the People's democracy is attractive to listen to. One should not go against the other when we compromise with, and understand one another.
The security of the people is the buzzword along with peace and development. Now, there must not be any conflict in this respect. Increase access of poor communities to infrastructures, which improves their livelihoods. Increase farm income using organic production technology and productive infrastructure. Build strong linkage mechanisms to garner support from various organizations to reduce poverty.
Improve access to markets and build local capacity. Empower the poor towards self-help development, especially the women and vulnerable groups. The foundation, the only Chinese nonprofit organization registered in Nepal, continues to carry out poverty reduction programs today.
With the pandemic forcing the landlocked nation to lock down, the need for poverty alleviation has never been higher. Despite significant progress in lifting people out of poverty, Nepal needs to roll out different measures to improve people's livelihoods as the pandemic puts the economy at risk, said Pampha Bhusal, former Nepali minister of women, children and social welfare.
China's contribution to Nepal in poverty reduction as a friendly neighbor is highly appreciated, she said, adding that China has cooperated with Nepal in various sectors, including hydropower, education, healthcare and manufacturing.
Recognizing that Nepal needs to continue reducing the number of people living below the poverty line, Bhusal said China's experience and achievement in poverty alleviation can provide valuable lessons. Nepal should learn from China's achievement in poverty alleviation during this period," she said. Over the years, Nepal has made huge achievements in poverty alleviation.
According to Bhusal, who is a member of Parliament, the population living below the poverty line is only about 18 percent now, compared with almost 45 percent in the s. In a report in July, the United Nations Development Programme said Nepal is among countries that have made significant strides in reducing multidimensional poverty almost by half over the past one-and-a-half decades.
Inspired by China's experiences, people found the government should play the main role in addressing Nepal's problems in poverty alleviation and tackle the challenges brought by the pandemic, said Bhusal. She said Nepal's success in poverty alleviation can be attributed mainly to political changes in the early s, as the government has implemented policies and programs aimed at lifting people out of poverty and highlighting employment, income generation and sociopolitical rights.
Nepal has also been conducting various income-generating activities through the Poverty Alleviation Fund, established by the government in to help bring down Nepal's poverty level. Bhusal said that to realize the government's plans and policies for poverty alleviation, collaboration between the public and private sectors as well as development partners is important. The COVID pandemic has had an adverse impact on the country's economy and caused massive unemployment, Bhusal said.
The lockdown enforced to control the outbreak resulted in the closure of factories, businesses and industries until the government loosened the nearly four-month lockdown in late July. Since the beginning of the COVID outbreak in Nepal, the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation's office in Nepal has been implementing various programs to target those affected by COVID, including setting up hand-washing stations, providing anti-pandemic packages and donating food to students.
The foundation has been providing various poverty alleviation programs in Nepal with local partner Safa Sunaulo Nepal. Zou said more than 20 Chinese NGOs provided emergency help after the earthquake, and the Chinese government pledged 4.
