The priority of Nepal’s Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) is the generation of productive employment – a promise of the peace dividend and, more substantively, an anchor for the sustainability of that peace. To address this priority the DWCP has two strategic aims: helping formulate coherent employment policies that delivers the decent jobs required; and addressing labour laws, institutions and administrative systems to create an effective balance between employers’ requirements for greater flexibility and worker’s needs for employment security.
