One of my (Tibetan) coworkers was born and raised in Nepal, after her parents fled there after the Chinese invasion of Tibet.
(All the other ones are from India, where it was more common for fleeing Tibetans to end up.)
So, she was saying the other day that corruption is a big problem in Nepal, especially lower level officials who you have to bribe just for them to go and do their duties, but she was also saying that things have been a bit better lately, since the rise of smartphones and social media.
She said that people there record officials who want bribes and then go and put that footage online, and that sometimes it goes viral!
It's led to some improvements, she said.
