Local governments are the first tier of the state to connect directly with citizens, and their official websites are a primary channel for transparent, accessible, and effective service delivery.

Overview
The “One School One Nurse” programme, led by the Government of Bagmati Province, aims to institutionalize school-based health services by placing trained nurses in community schools. A Social Audit of the programme was conducted to assess its implementation, service quality, institutional effectiveness, and sustainability, with financial and technical support from the Provincial and Local Governance Strengthening Programme (PLGSP).
The programme has expanded to 848 public schools, providing primary health care, health education, and adolescent-friendly services to students across the province.

Despite some early e-governance efforts, services remained fragmented and disconnected from daily operations.
