Citizens’ Voice and Accountability Evaluation – Nepal Country Case Study

The Nepal Country Case Study (NCCS) explores the approaches donors in Nepal are taking in the promotion of CV&A interventions – in which CV (Citizens? Voice) is the expression of citi- zens? views, their opinions and their preferences; A (Accountability) is the response of govern- ments in terms of their transparency in decision making, their „answerability? and their exposure to sanctions. NCCS is one of five such evaluations of CV&A being carried out by the Evaluation Core Group (ECG) established by seven donor partners from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. The Nepal evaluation has been designed according to an Evaluation Framework and the Methodological Guidance commissioned from the Overseas Development Institute.
