Federalism dialogues Series 7 -Proposed Magarat province - 24- 26 June, 2010
|
The UNDP/CCD held its 7th Federalism Dialogue in Tansen, the proposed capital city of Magarat province. This province has been created to recognize the identity of the Magar ethnic group, considering their high density in this area. This proposed Magarat province includes 481 VDCs (including 2 municipalities) Arghakhachi, Baglung, Gulmi, Myagdi, Palpa, Pyuthan, Rolpa, Kaski, Nawalparasi, Parbat, Rukum, Salyan, Syangja, and Tanahu. Similar to other provinces it is also a multi-ethnic province, with 56% hill Hindus including 16% Dalits, 41% Indigenous and 3% people of other communities.
The objective of the workshop was to sensitize the participants to the concept of federalism and federal structure, its advantages as well as challenges in relation to the general context of Nepal and to explore the existing facts on opportunities and challenges for the implementation of federal structure. The program aimed to provide social and political activists with general insights into various dimensions of federalism from the experts, and promote discussion on the local context, enabling people to make recommendations to the Constituent Assembly to address their needs. The program was designed to take forward the momentum of dialogues on federalism in relation to the general context of Nepal as well as particular local contexts.
