Evidence snapshot for Nepal
Nepal has made measurable progress on gender equality, health, education and disaster resilience in recent years. The 2015 Constitution's 40% gender quota resulted in 14,352 women (40.96% of representatives) elected to local government in 2017, though only 2% of mayors were women. A peer-education programme against chhaupadi menstrual exile reduced hut-sleeping from 19.4% to 5.5% and reached 45,990 women and girls. Digital learning platforms have reached over 40,000 students across 180 schools in 16 districts, and crowdsourced mapping of Kathmandu Valley (126,105 buildings, 3,716 km of roads, 2,256 schools) proved critical during the 2015 earthquake response.
