The report connects human capital progress and disparities with how national expenditures are used for social service delivery. It analyzes allocation of functions and coordination across three levels of government, highlights ambiguities, and assesses resource distribution for social sectors. It also considers implementation challenges at the local level and presents ten recommendations aimed at improving the impact of human development public spending.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disc losure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nFEDERALISM AND PUBLIC EXPENDITURE  \nFOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN NEPAL:  \nAN EMERGING AGENDA  \nAuthorized  \nPub lic Disclosure  \n© 2021 International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank  \nThe World Bank  \n1818 H Street, NW Washington, DC 20433 USA  \nTel: 1-202-473-1000  \nFax: 1-207-477-6391  \n[www.worldbank.org](www.worldbank.org)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank with external contributions.
