The donors´ call comes as they faced problems in some parts of the country where their staff have suffered form pressure to provide "donations", financial and in-kind assistance, and undue interference in tender processes.
“Some places have been problematic [for us to work],” said Robert Piper, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Nepal and Co-Chair of BOGs Group, at a press meet on Sunday, “Eastern and central [parts of the country] and eastern Tarai have been problematic.”
The donors -- the United Nations and the Association of International NGOs in Nepal -- adopted the 14-point guideline during the Maoist armed conflict to ensure that their development activities continue to support the improvement of the livelihoods of the people in rural Nepal.
On the occasion, Swiss Ambassador to Nepal Thomas Gass, who is the chairman of the BOGs Group, said that the guidelines though adopted when the Maoist conflict was intense are still relevant.
