Google defines corruption as a form of unethical conduct by a person entrusted with a position of authority to acquire personal benefit, typically involving bribery. We see the effects of corruption constantly in the news as well as in our daily lives. Nepal in South-East Asia notably suffers from government corruption at the expense, sadly, of the common citizen.

Nepal has a GDP of 21.14 Billion USD and is a developing country. The country's swift political changes and corruption has greatly hindered its improvement. The lack of development results in a low number of FDIs, in addition to a delay in growth. For example the regeneration projects and new industries, as officials who pass the clearances slow the process.

A lack of quality in services e.g. Healthcare can be noticed - more than one-third of the total households do not have a toilet in Nepal. Poor health and hygiene is prominent in countries with corrupt governments. Recently an unfinished bridge collapsed in Nepal and in the 2015 Earthquake buildings, despite being new, were destroyed.
