Through this initiation plan, UNDP Nepal aims to support the Public Service Commission of Nepal in strengthening its capacity to upscale and update its work on the Assessment Center Methodology (ACM). By implementing this Plan, UNDP intends to build on its past support through its Project to PREPARE Public Administration for State Reform (2013 - 2017) and its achievements. With UNDP support, the Commission introduced the ACM in 2013-2014. This Initiation Plan will contribute to making Nepal’s public administration more efficient, agile, and results oriented as envisaged by the current 15th Plan of the Government of Nepal and the UNSDCF Outcome 4/UNDP Nepal Country Programme Document (CPD) Outcome 2 on Governance, federalism, participation and inclusion. Specifically, it will contribute to achievement of the CPD Output 2.3: Improved mechanisms for promoting transparency and public participation.The Initiation Plan will be implemented for a maximum of 18 months. Within this time, the aim is also to develop a more comprehensive long-term project for 4-5 years for system strengthening of the Commission. The project will also explore for future partnerships with the seven Province Public Service Commissions (PPSCs) in the full-fledged project and subsequent resource mobilization. Though the PPSCs are autonomous institutions, they closely follow the standards and practices of the Public Service Commission. In the federal context, and in the spirit of the 2015 Constitution, the improved recruitment processes also aim, in the long run, to contribute to proportional representation of women and marginalized groups in state mechanisms.
