1. On 13 March the four major political parties (Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist, Nepali Congress, Communist Party of Nepal - Unified Marxist Leninist and United Democratic Madheshi Front) signed an agreement to appoint an ‘Interim Electoral Council of Ministers’ (IECM) under the Chairpersonship of the sitting Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi.
2. The month of March witnessed an increase in reports of operational space issues by signatories to the Basic Operating Guidelines (BOGs) mainly due to bandhs imposed by various political parties in protest of the decision by the four major parties to form the Chief Justice-led government (IECM).
3. Many districts in Nepal witnessed protest programs by various political parties, most notably CPN-Maoist, and identity groups against the formation of the Chief Justice-led government, which they denounced as unconstitutional.
4. In light of potential Constituent Assembly elections being held within the coming months District Election Offices (DEO) intensified voter registration and voter role updating and to that effect organized mobile registration camps in their respective districts.
5. As noted in February, different groups have been carrying out protest programs across the MWR and FWR pressuring local authorities to address their concerns.
6. During March, a total of 34 people lost their life to various small scale disasters across the country.
7. The Regional Disaster Relief Committee (RDRC) in the ER and FWR organized a meeting on 14 and 22 March respectively to discuss the ongoing as well as future disaster preparedness and response readiness activities at the regional level.
8. On 24 and 25 March, a two-day training on mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Local Development Planning was organized in Dhangadhi District to develop a common understanding on disaster and disaster risk management and enhance skills to mainstream DRR in local development plans.
