What is a relief fund?
A Prime Minister's Relief Fund is a government-managed account for receiving donations, typically from the public and international bodies, to support disaster relief and other emergencies. By directing aid through this fund, Nepal maintains control over how resources are allocated, ensuring they align with national priorities and reach those most in need efficiently.
