interventions are required. • The CB-NCP has been designed to reduce neonatal mortality, but it is a costly intervention and expansion has consequently been slow. However, community-based programmes for newborn care need to be scaled up nationwide. As the introduction of the CB-NCP creates increased demand for newborn care services, service delivery sites at health facilities need to be strengthened. • To meet shortage of health workers at the local level the government (MOHP) needs to be proactive to overcome the inhibiting factors in the recruitment process of human resources. Until vacant positions within the Health service are fulfilled, the vacant positions should be filled up in temporary basis locally on multi-year contracts or services need to be contracted out to the private sector. • In order to improve the accuracy of data on immunization coverage, figures need to be recalculated using revised population sizes for local areas. Furthermore, monitoring and supervision of data-reporting for the HMIS needs to be strengthened, with strong leadership and accountability at all levels, in order to obtain data from 100 percent of non-government facilities. • The nutrition component suggested for achievement of MDG 1 Target C should be strengthened to address the problem of malnutrition. • Efforts need to be made to mobilize local resource for instance, block grants provided to local bodies as well as other resources generated at the local level with guidelines and directives for allocation of funds towards achieving the target for reducing child mortality. 6. Conclusion Efforts are made to draw conclusion in general perspective and in the context of Nepal. Innovation in service delivery is focused in local level where poor, vulnerable and actual helpless service-seekers reside. Various efforts have been made to strengthen local bodies in order to enable to involve local people in understanding developmental activities, mobilize local resources and manage local affairs. LSGA is considered to be the milestone in regard to impressing legislative framework for decentralization which has developed wider functions, power and responsibilities to the local bodies for planning, implementation and monitoring the development activities and for improving service delivery in an efficient manner. The local bodies are the key institutions in their respective areas to co-ordinate and mobilize other agencies, such as - line agencies, NGOs, civil societies and community groups in course of initiating developmental programs and other activities. 246

At present, local bodies have been suffering in the absence of elected representative. The country was heavily affected by the problem of insurgency for more than ten years. As an achievement of popular People's Movement - April 2006, Nepal is adopting the republican model instead of the constitutional monarchy. The country is on the process of the federalism and the Constituent Assembly is making efforts to finalize the structure and other essential provisions for it. The people of Nepal are getting their new constitution in near future. It is expected that the new constitution with federal structure would move effectively for providing efficient services and people will get themselves empowered. In the general perspective, innovation of service delivery fill the gap of limited ability of representative democracy which define the gulf between functionality and the absence of the functionality and between formulation and implementation processes Innovation also requires efficient human resources in the organization which does not have time to wait for experimentation but have to develop an institute-base through interacting with people to save from policies backfiring. Decision makers and policy designers require to be exposed to the global currents of thinking as innovations transcend time and physical limitations of implementation of capital as well as faces lack of resources.
