Kathmandu, March 6, 2025 – The Nepal Institute for Policy Research (NIPoRe) is set to release a groundbreaking study titled "Mayoral Priorities and Performance from a Gender Perspective in Nepal". Scheduled to launch on March 10, 2025, this report offers an in-depth analysis of the priorities and performance of local-level leadership across Nepal through the lens of gender dynamics.
The study aims to shed light on how gender influences decision-making and governance at the municipal level. With a growing emphasis on inclusive leadership, this report is expected to contribute valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by women in leadership roles and how their priorities shape development initiatives.
Local government in Nepal has seen significant changes since the restructuring into a federal system, but questions about the inclusivity and gender sensitivity of leadership remain. The findings from NIPoRe’s research could pave the way for more equitable policy-making and enhance discussions on gender equity in governance.
The cover of the report, featuring a serene rural landscape, symbolizes the intersection of grassroots development and gender-focused governance.
