No.: Kathmandu, Nepal Foreword Nepal has made significant progress in achieving good results in school enrolment by having more children in school over the past decade, in spite of the unstable situation in the country. However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education.

  • Land Commitments in Nepal's Peace Process
    Land Commitments in Nepal’s Peace Process: An Update on Implementation June 20, 2012 I. Introduction Land is central to the livelihoods of many Nepalis, and political struggles over land and its equitable distribution have a long history. Land was also a central feature of Nepal’s decade-long conflict. In the then-Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist’s initial 40-Point Demands, issued in 1996, the party called for “land under control of the feudal system [to be] confiscated and distributed to the landless and homeless” and for land belonging to certain classes of people to be “confiscated and nationalized.”1 To advance this agenda and to consolidate political control in their areas of strength, the Maoists seized land from larger landowners and from their political opponents during the conflict. The 2006 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and subsequent political agreements committed the Maoists to return this seized land to its owners and also contained a range of government commitments to social transformation, including land reform. In its June 2010 report, “Land Commitments in Nepal’s Peace Process: What Has Been Achieved to Date?”2 The Carter Center found that these commitments had been only partially fulfilled. Observers found in 2010 that the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN(M)) had returned much of the land it had seized in the hills, mountains, and parts of the Eastern and Central Tarai, although some outstanding cases remained in these areas. By contrast, most of the land captured in the Mid and Far- Western Tarai (where the largest number of seizures had reportedly occurred) had not been returned or had been returned only conditionally.
