SECTOR WIDE APPROACH Indicator: Number of development partners that sign a Joint Financial Agreement Rationale: This indicator reflects the extent to which Nepal is moving towards a Sector-Wide Approach in Decentralization and Devolution. The Joint Financial Agreement is an important step towards a Sector-Wide Approach, which will realistically not be fully realized until 2012. Limits: • The assumption for this indicator is that the more development partners join the Joint Financial Agreement, the more a SWAp is perceived by development partners as a viable path to support the Government of Nepal. Baseline: 0 (4/2009) Target: 10 (2012) Means of Joint Financial Agreement document Verification Frequency trimesterely Responsibility LGCDP PCU Indicator: Rationale: Total funds paid into Joint Financial Agreement basket in million USD This indicator complements the indicator above by adding total funds to the number of development partners. Only the two indicators together provide a complete picture of progress towards a SWAp. Limits: • see above Baseline: 0m (4/2009) Target: 400m (2012) Means of LGCDP financial records Verification Frequency trimesterely Responsibility LGCDP PCU SECTOR DEVOLUTION Indicator: Number of Secretary-level meetings, participated in by at least five line ministries that explicitly include agenda on decentralization, held per year Rationale: This indicator is an indirect proxy indicator for the level of coordination and importance of decentralization in key sectors. As a proxy indicator, it does not imply that LGCDP aims at increasing the number of Secretary-level meetings, but serves as an indication of decentralization is taking on a more prominent role in Nepal. Limits: • The number of meetings itself does not reflect sector devolution, but can serve as a valid proxy in the absence of a more direct indicator. The underlying assumption is that a significant increase over time in discussions on decentralization at the level of Secretaries indicates a change in the level of coordination and importance of Decentralization Baseline: 0 (2008) Target: 3 (2012) Means of Meeting agenda of MLD Verification Frequency annually Responsibility Policy Coordination Committee/Decentralization Section at MLD 18
STAFFING POLICIES Indicator: Local Service Commission Act passed to regularize local recruitment Rationale: The Local Service Commission Act is a key element to improve staffing policies. Limits: • The act itself does not indicate changes in staffing itself, but is an indicator for staffing policies. The effect on staffing itself is captured by additional indicators. Baseline: No (2009) Target: Yes (2012) Means of Local Service Commission Act Verification Frequency annually Responsibility M&E Section of MLD Indicator: % of local government staff (DDCs, municipalities and VDCs) that are women Rationale: With the staffing policies in place, changes in staff composition are to be expected over time. Women are a key target group of LGCDP and are therefore captured through this indicator. Limits: • This indicator does not distinguish between different levels of local government adminstrations. However, at an aggregated level it provides an indication of change over the years. • The indicator aggregates data for DDCs, municipalities and VDCs, thereby potentially blurring differences between the three levels of local governance in Nepal. • Data should be collected through the LGCDP sample surveys and administrative data through the MLD. Sample surveys can continue to collect this data for triangulation and quality control of administrative data. Baseline: To be determined by LGCDP baseline survey in 2009 Target: 33% (2012) Means of LGCDP Sample survey / administrative data Verification Frequency Every 2 years / annually Responsibility MLD M&E Section / MLD Personnel Administration Section Indicator: % of local government staff (DDCs, municipalities and VDCs) that are Dalits (as proxy for all disadvantaged groups) Rationale: With the staffing policies in place, changes in staff composition are to be expected over time. Dalits serve as a proxy for all disadvantaged groups. Limits: • Given the difficulty in clearly defining and identifying who belongs to a disadvantaged group, Dalits serve as a proxy for all disadvantaged groups. The underlying assumption is that changes in the staffing level of Dalits are likely to indicate changes in the staffing level for other disadvantaged groups. • The indicator aggregates data for DDCs, municipalities and VDCs, thereby potentially blurring differences between the three levels of local governance in Nepal. • Data should be collected through the LGCDP sample surveys and administrative data through the MLD. • Sample surveys can continue to collect this data for triangulation and quality control of administrative data. Baseline: To be determined by LGCDP baseline survey in 2009 Target: To be determined after the LGCDP baseline survey Means of LGCDP Sample survey / administrative data Verification Frequency Every 2 years / annually Responsibility MLD M&E Section / MLD Personnel Administration Section 19

Rationale: With the staffing policies in place, changes in staff composition are to be expected over<br />
time. Women are a key target group of <strong>LGCDP</strong> and are therefore captured through this<br />
indicator.<br />
Limits: • This indicator does not distinguish between different levels of local<br />

indication of change over the years.<br />
• The indicator aggregates data for DDCs, municipalities and VDCs, thereby<br />
potentially blurring differences between the three levels of local governance<br />
in Nepal.<br />

administrative data through the MLD. Sample surveys can continue to collect<br />
this data for triangulation and quality control of administrative data.<br />
