Emerging Issues of Conflict in Federalized Nepal Research Report

The research ‘Emerging Issues of Conflict in Federalized Context in Nepal’ has aimed at identifying the issues related to the implementation of the federal restructuring in the country. A Research Report from Asian Academy for Peace, Research and Development, supported by CSPPS, is an outcome of the desk review and field level interviews and focus group discussions in nine districts namely Ilam, Jhapa, Morang, Dhanusha, Mahottari, Makawanpur, Surkhet, Kailali and Rukum West, as well as drawings from a national level interaction held in Kathmandu to disseminate and validate the findings from the field.

This research tries to explore the conflict between three levels of government in Nepal. As the federal system is new to our country, we need to understand the issues of conflict/contention between the three layers of government and address them through coordinated approach for successful and effective implementation of federal system.
