After government refusal, some foreign non-profits start diverting fund from cash distribution plan

As much as $3 million was supposed to be spent in cash distribution.

Plan International Nepal, an American international non-governmental organisation working in Nepal, had a tough time convincing its donors to be allowed to divert the fund meant for cash transfer to Covid-19-affected poor people for the use in relief materials after the government refused to entertain the idea of cash transfer.
