This brief presents key highlights of the Nepal case study under the FAO Project Articulating and Mainstreaming Agricultural Trade Policy and Support Measures. The objectives of the Project were to contribute to improving the process of: i) articulating trade policies consistent with overall development objectives; ii) articulating appropriate trade support measures; and iii) mainstreaming these policies and support measures into development frameworks such as the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP). Mainstreaming of trade policies is defined as a process whereby trade policies are drawn from, and are consistent with,development strategies articulated in the apex policy framework such as the PRSP. In a mainstreamed process, policies, programmes and support measures are mutually consistent across key policy frameworks, create synergies and avoid inconsistencies. This is the sense in which mainstreaming has been analysed in the country case studies. The following policy frameworks were reviewed: three on trade policy (the trade chapter in the Three Year Interim Plan 2007-10 which is Nepal’s PRSP, Nepal Trade Policy 2009 and Nepal Trade Integration Strategy 2010); three on agriculture (National Agriculture Policy 2004, agriculture chapter in the PRSP, and Agribusiness Promotion Policy 2006); two on industrial policy (industry chapter in the PRSP and Nepal Industrial Policy 2010); and one food security policy (food security section in the PRSP).
