As steep landscape of the Himalayan Mountains has been a huge blockage for the move of people and the transportation of materials, electrical and telecommunication services have not been easily extended. In addition to this topographical constraint, local governments are not in the situation to fulfill their functions properly and extend public services as they have just recovered from the civil war. Villages, the smallest administrative units, recognize the necessity to solve their local problems in a comprehensive way, however, they are not able to deal with them properly. Therefore, swift response to improve the quality of life of each household and at the same time with strengthening villagesf self-governance capacity is urged.
