The Assessment of Provincial Government’s Response to COVID-19 was undertaken by Foundation and Development Management (FDM) and Nepal Institute for Policy Research (NIPoRe) primarily to understand and critically look into how the seven provinces of Nepal have handled the COVID-19 pandemic. The study analyzed provincial governments’ emergency response policies, resources, mechanisms, and the effectiveness of the response. Moreover, the team also looked into the coordination between the federal government, provincial government, and local governments in handling the crisis and identified the challenges and gaps experienced during the management.
