Acknowledgements

These materials have been prepared solely by the authors, with significant editing from Sylvie Cordier at ODI. However, they have received constructive critical comment from the HARP team in Kathmandu. The authors are deeply grateful for the degree of assistance provided by the HARP office during their visit. HARP staff (John Abington, Bill Stewart-Jones, Peter Rood, Sudarshan Mathema and Duncan Barker) spent many hours talking through issues with interest and introducing the team to key actors. While responsibility for the analysis rests with the authors, without this support and assistance this study visit would have been impossible.
