HRPLSC organized Community Score Card in the Road Corridor VDCS of Rukum and Salyan district which supported for strengthening Governance and resposiveness. It has measured on how the state mechanism is responsive towards the citizen. It has supported to make the VDC responsible towards the citizen. I have participated in the VDC level of programs, it would be better to replicate in other VDCs too.
