State of urgency

Years of mis-governance and incompetence of the current political elite have led to pervasive distrust in Nepal.

There is a global trend of declining trust in government, and Nepal is no exception. The UN's recent World Social Report 2025 reveals that globally over 57 percent of people express low trust in their governments. This percentage is higher among Gen Z. In Nepal, the disillusionment with political parties that are routinely failing to deliver on their promises, coupled with the influence of social media on public opinion, has fueled widespread frustration and disengagement, particularly among the youth. In Nepal, this cynicism is a chronic issue that has intensified due to decades of broken pledges, coalition manoeuvring, policy paralysis, malpractices and mis-governance.
