Introduction

The SPCBWN Project is supported by SPCBN/UNDP and Nepal Magar Association (NMA) is implementing organization. This organization will conduct community-level �Democracy Dialogues� (�Loktantrik Sambad�) on the draft constitution in diverse range of communities. This process will inform the general public about the draft constitution, as well as collect feedbacks and submissions for the Constituent Assembly.

 

This project will be implemented in all VDCs of 11 districts in Western Development Region. All the targeted project locations are rural, hill and mountain area and mostly information channels are local FM radios, which are also often missed by the rural and remote farmers, and on an average, they fall under low human development indicators and mostly they are engage in solving their own daily needs.   Indigenous, Dalits, women, excluded, marginalized and other vulnerable groups in Nepal. Many different castes are in indigenous. Some castes are raising their voice but not all indigenous castes are raising voice because they have not any idea and access. So, to ensure the rights of these communities preferably their own traditional association or ethnic organizations must be involved in empowering process to collect their real requirements and dreams about new Nepal. If their organization is not established and not able to conduct awareness and interaction programs, then locally working district committee of organization networks are to be mobilized for facilitation in constituency and village development committee (VDC) level Programs.
