How We Track Government Promises: Our Methodology

Why Promise Tracking Matters

In democracies, elections are contracts. Parties make promises, citizens vote, and then — too often — promises are forgotten. Janasarokar exists to prevent that forgetting.

Our Promise Tracker monitors all 48 commitments from the RSP's 2082 manifesto across eight categories: Governance, Economy, Education, Health, Infrastructure, Justice, Environment, and Digital Transformation.

Our Scoring Framework

Each promise is scored on a four-stage scale: Pending (no observable action), In Progress (legislative or executive action initiated), Completed (promise demonstrably fulfilled), or Failed (promise explicitly abandoned or contradicted).

Progress percentages within the 'In Progress' stage are based on verifiable milestones: bills introduced, budgets allocated, programs launched, measurable outcomes achieved. We do not score intention — only action.

Critically, all parties are scored equally. Janasarokar has no partisan affiliation. Data integrity is non-negotiable.

Sources and Verification

Our data comes from: official gazette publications, parliamentary proceedings (hansard), ministry press releases, Nepal Rastra Bank reports, National Planning Commission data, and verified news reporting from 16 Nepal media sources.

We cross-reference every claim against multiple sources. Zero fake news is better than fast news. When we don't know, we say we don't know.
