The Support to Participatory Constitution Building in Nepal project was launched on May 2008 and aims to support the people of Nepal in building through an inclusive process a constitution that meets their needs.

The Project has three tracks:
  1. Support the members of the CA, their Secretariat, technical advisors, and support staff, ensuring that they have the infrastructure, information, advice, training, outreach capacity and other tools they need to work effectively.

  2. Facilitate dialogue between the CA and the public so that the concerns of all stakeholders can be understood and constructively considered. Within the ambit of the track 2 a resource centre will be established to function as a training centre and dialogue forum. The resource centre will include facilities for expert advice, training, facilitated meetings and public information.

  3. Involve public outreach through television, radio and community mobilisation activities focused on increasing public knowledge of the constitutional process and issues and public input into the constitution making process. In this regard, the Project will give particular emphasis to supporting input into the constitution building process from excluded groups by way of submissions.
