		<description>Dear Sarah,

All know that Nepal government has been always dependant on donors for development support or emergency support. You have mentioned facts and figures in your article how much amount DFID had supported Nepal government last year. Instead; probably you have got many kinds of manufactured data from Nepali professionals on how much progreses achieved against DFID support. But the question always remains on the equitable distribution of resources to the real victims. 

Government support as all know, goes to only the political cadres who are supporters to them. The balance money (during the Maoist government quite the government) was distributed hafazardly to political leaders and cadres by current finance minister. And it is very clear that political cadres and leaders are mostly upper caste people. The marginalized and left out are always left out. We all entertained the government drama of Jajarkot epidemic. Because of the coming draught (as per your article) we once again should be ready to face another political drama. Just we want not to see the donors also engaged in the drama. But unfortunately, every time donors and government both collaborate with each other for bad reason.

What about if you trust once again on the civic mobilization and giving more support to civil sector. Is it possible to change DFID priority and collaborate more with civil sosiety organizations? 

It is clear if donors rely on weak government, it will manufacture malnutritional result and also it will be unable to consume outside support. Don&#039;t overfeed the political sector.</description>
