Calls for critical review of inclusion commissions

Assessment must be consultative, transparent, based on their impact on marginalised communities, say experts.

The Constitution of Nepal provisioned seven inclusion commissions to advocate for the rights of marginalised and deprived communities. The commissions—Madhesi, Dalit, Tharu, Muslim, Women, Indigenous Nationalities and Inclusion—were constituted with the responsibility to improve the socio-economic condition of underprivileged communities.
