'Academy plays vital role in Implementing federalism'

KATHMANDU, April 29: Lumbini Province Chief Secretary Dilliram Sharma and Secretary Narendra Rana made an on-site monitoring of the Nepalgunj-based Province Training Academy that also functions as provincial center for good governance (PCGG). "The Constitution mandates the provincial and local governments to perform with autonomy in designing and delivering public services.

Now, the challenge is being addressed by province training academy by identifying gaps between the existing capacity and needs of all three tiers of the governments and undertaking research to generate evidence for successfully advancing federalism", highlighted Province Training Academy Executive Director Guru Prasad Sharma while briefing the Principal Secretary. He further shared the Academy has been imparting training to sub-national governments, especially elected people's representatives and government officials.
