This report seeks to inform the efforts of the Government of Nepal to professionalise the civil service. It has a twofold objective. First, it introduces ‘civil service surveys’ as a new instrument to monitor and engage civil servants in the reform and modernisation of the civil service in Nepal. Second, it provides original evidence on civil servants’ attitudes and behaviour, their experience with human resources management, including integrity management and the role of public service unions and their evaluation of the quality of leadership.

Overall, the report aims to contribute to the professionalisation of the civil service in Nepal in the context of the Government’s aim to become a middle-income county by 2030.
