F.a: Koshish: Strengthening Stakeholder Capacity Psychosocial Disability Rights in Legal Framework

Persons with psychosocial disability face daily barriers in society, exacerbated by lack of psychosocial disability friendly laws in Nepal. KOSHISH carried out a study to outline the gaps in the Nepali legal framework within the context of the constitution of Nepal and UNCRPD. On the basis of the conclusions and recommendations of said study, KOSHISH has designed a comprehensive four year project which aims to support establishment of psychosocial disability friendly legal framework in Nepal which protects and promotes their rights. Needs based activities are outlined in this proposal for Members of Parliament, Bureaucrats, Constitutional Body members and Judges to take measures to include psychosocial disability in their agenda.
