From hypothetical viewpoint, the study is bound to survey three concerned ideas: (i) conceptualizing governance, (ii) understanding conditionality, and (iii) enhancing country-proprietorship. With a specific end goal to know the basic issues of country-possession in Nepal, the study audits three issues: (i) deliberations for enhancing governance in Nepal, (ii) a review of giver backing in governance change, and (iii) benefactor impact in national approach. The review information uncovers that all the governance-related conditionalities have been emphatically influencing for enhancing country-possession in Nepal.
