On May 31st, 2023, Gandaki Province Training Academy (GPTA) held a half day event on provincial leadership in fiscal management and intergovernmental relations in Pokhara in collaboration with Forum of Federations.

The GPTA is working to advance federal implementation in the Gandaki Province by providing trainings to both provincial and local level political and administrative leadership to enhance their knowledge and understanding of federal governance, fiscal federalism, and intergovernmental relations.

The event brought together Chief Minister, Provincial Ministers, Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Provincial Assembly, Provincial Assembly members, Vice chair of provincial policy and planning commission, Chief Secretary, and the Secretaries of the provincial government.
