Districts of Nepal- Indicators of Development

The study was carried out by ICIMOD at the request of SNV-Nepal with the main objective to identify the districts which deserve the foremost attention in development assistance. The 75 districts of Nepal are ranked according to their level of development performance. Secondary data such as national census and national level surveys at the district level are used for the analysis. The districts are ranked based on the 39 basic indicators which are further aggregated into four basic indicators, namely, poverty and deprivation, socioeconomic and infrastructural development, women's empowerment, and natural resources endowment and management.
