Assessment of Media Deveopment in Nepal
Abstract:
Assessment of Media Development in Nepal accompanies Nepal,in the process of democratic transition and contributes to the development of free, independent and pluralist media. The study applies the diagnostic instrument of UNESCO’s Media Development Indicators (MDIs), which UNESCO’s Inter-Governmental Council for the International Programme for Development of Communication approved in 2008.Through detailed analysis of all aspects of the media landscape, they guide the efforts of different actors working for media development, as well as the formulation of policies in this field. So far, applied in more than ten countries, the MDIs are a tool to analyse the legal, regulatory and economic frameworks, in which Nepal’s media operate, their democratic potential, training and skills development, and information and communication infrastructure. While the analysis is based on international standards and good practices,recommendations are adapted to the particularities of the national context.The main part of the study was undertaken in 2011 and 2012, but the report also contains data collected in 2013. It provides a detailed picture of the topography of the country’s media and contributes to present discussions on constitutional and legal reforms and media self-regulation mechanisms. It also provides a baseline for subsequent assessments of Nepal’s media landscape using the five MDI categories. #MediaDevelopmentinNepal #MediaLandscape #DevelopmentofCommunication #LandscapeofNepal #LegalReforms #MediaSelfRegulationMechanisms

Assessment of Cultural Deveopment in Nepal
Abstract:
The media in Nepal can play an influential role in peace building and democratization. The delay in drafting and promulgating a new constitution has posed serious questions for the country’s ability to institutionalize and strengthen democracy. The new constitution was expected to be a milestone in institutionalizing human rights, inclusion, non-discrimination, equality, liberty and freedom as the achievements of the people’s movement that ended with the restoration of parliament in April 20062. The restoration of parliament made way for the establishment of a coalition government that began negotiations with the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) or UCPN (M), and this culminated in the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA) in November 2006.
