Report of the Executive Director on normative and operational activities of UN-Habitat

The Programme was established in the continuity of support provided by UN-Habitat to the country of Nepal in the aftermath of the 1988 earthquake and in the formulation of Nepal’s Building Code in 1994. [...] The primary achievement was the adoption of the National Land Policy (2019) with the integration of the fit-for-purpose strategy in land administration, which for the first time recognized informal land tenure and the importance of participatory approaches in land management.   From 2020 onwards, the CP engaged with national and local governments in the implementation of Nepal’s National Land Pol. [...] In 2023, the Government of Nepal launched the report “Degree of Urbanization in Nepal”, which re-defined the classification of Nepalese urban areas and became a crucial reference for the formulation of national policies and strategies, including the 16th Development Plan.
