Effective budget implementation is crucial for achieving health financing objectives, yet challenges persist in translating allocated funds into actual expenditures. This qualitative study explores health budget execution practices in three Metropolitan Cities of Nepal—Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Biratnagar by investigating the underlying factors contributing to the gap between budget allocation and actual spending. The findings reveal stark disparities in resource distribution, with Kathmandu allocating six times more funds than Lalitpur.

Organizational success is heavily dependent on employee performance, particularly in the public sector where efficient and high-quality service is of the utmost importance. The objective of this study is to analyze the link among Employee Engagement (EE), Organizational Commitment (OC), Performance Appraisal (PA), Turnover Intention (TI) and Employee Performance (EP) in the public sectors of Nepal. Out of 700 government employees, 530 respondents answered an online survey and 514 provided valuable data using quantitative analysis.
Work engagement, defined as a positive, fulfilling state of mind at work, comprises three core components: dedication, vigor, and absorption (Schaufeli et al., 2002). Dedication involves significance, enthusiasm, and pride in one’s work. Vigor entails high energy, mental resilience, and the willingness to invest effort. Absorption is characterized by being fully concentrated and engrossed in work, making detachment difficult.

Government accountability is intrinsic to democracies, as citizens can choose public officials through their popular vote and accordingly exercise some control and oversight over the officials. But elections held in periodic intervals do not allow the scrutiny of the decisions and activities that are conducted on a daily basis. This article examines how to confront this challenge of holding the governments to account, by looking into local governance in Nepal, where citizens have limited knowledge of the government decisions, activities, procedures followed, and their outcomes.
