Answers
Answer:
The presence and role of Civil Society Organizations (CSO) increased after the democratic movement and the 1990 constitution's articles in support of civil society. ... As democracy advances in Nepal, the roles of CSOs are becoming increasingly important to provide unbiased oversight
The term 'Civil Society' collectively refers to all voluntary, civic and social organizations and institutions. It is any of the volunteer, non-political and non-profit making associations of people.
In Nepal democratic culture is yet to develop. Ordinary people are not politically aware. Government decisions and actions are not fully democratic and transparent. Corruption, bribery, leakage, service delays are common. Government is not inclusive enough. Political leaders are mostly dishonest. They are using voters just as a tool or a ladder to rise to the power. Once they reach power, they forget the voters. Democracy becomes the best form of government is handled properly but turns worst if mishandled. Unemployment and poverty are serious hindrances of economic development. Many youths are draining out for work and some don't return. Border is badly encroached. Resources are being used indiscriminately and sustainable development has not started yet. Original Nepali culture is neglected and western culture is unduly gaining influence. Self-esteem is gradually fading. Gender inequality and social discriminations are high. Ours is the transitional phase of many valuable transformations. But several conflicts seem to continue and remain unsolved. This has threatened the general public life. In such conditions the role of civil society is extremely important. They have to play their parts to change all these things.
