Resumen
Descripción
This policy brief looks at the most marginalized and disadvantaged section of Nepalese society, people who are ultra poor, severely undernourished and chronically food insecure. They have long been excluded from mainstream development efforts – indeed even excluded from the communities in which they reside. Recent political developments in Nepal, particularly a new interim constitution which expressly acknowledges that the marginalized people have the same rights as all other citizens, provides an opportune moment to address the issues relating to them. The paper advocates adopting a livelihoods approach to the formulation of policies for these disadvantaged segments of Nepalese society.
