Kathmandu: The National Conference of Deputy Speakers of Provincial Assemblies and the Vice Chairperson of the National Assembly brought together legislative leaders from across Nepal to deepen collaboration, exchange experiences, and strengthen parliamentary institutions.
The conference provided an important platform to share good practices and explore ways to make the roles of Deputy Speakers and the Vice Chairperson more effective, efficient, and responsive to the evolving needs of democratic governance. Participants will also work towards a joint declaration to guide future cooperation and collective action among Nepal’s legislative institutions.
Through UNDP’s Parliament Support Project, supported by Norway, UNDP has been strengthening inter-legislative collaboration, including the establishment of the Inter-Parliamentary Forum as a platform for dialogue, knowledge sharing, and mutual learning.
Building on these efforts, the conference is expected to foster stronger institutional linkages, promote collaboration across legislatures, and contribute to more effective, inclusive, and responsive democratic governance in Nepal
