The joint IGD-CPCS-Niti Foundation delegation met with several key community safety actors in Nepal, including the Inspector General of Nepal Police, the Ministry of 91³ÉÈ˰涶Òô Affairs in Lumbini Province, political parties, deputy mayors, and civil society leaders, among others.
The safety and security issues they highlighted are complex, including inter-communal tensions, family violence, conflict-era trauma, the ongoing transitional justice process, and border crime, among other concerns.
In thanking the delegation, one of the deputy mayors from a remote municipality on the Nepal-India border said, “We are hopeful that when we share our issues, someone will listen, your research will go somewhere, and something will change."
