ABOUT POLICY DIALOGUE
Policy is the methods and processes adopted by a state to run fundamental system of governance and is an art of doing the right thing at the right time and at the right place. A policy is a system of well thought out principles that help in taking right decisions and getting right results and is implemented as a procedure or protocol. The intent is clearly mentioned in the policy.
The policy of a country, in general term, comprises of governance system including service or facilities provided by the state, functioning system and process of service delivery. Through policy a government reaches to its people and a policy dialog program ensures that all stakeholders are engaged discussion to raise the issues, share perspectives, find a common ground and reach consensus on the mitigation of gap analyzed in the said policy.
A policy dialogue enables stakeholders to see the problems from other’s perspective, improve understanding of the impact the policies and programs have on various groups and encourages participation in the policy process to formulate accountable policies and increase ownership and results engaging stakeholders from diverse sectors and providing voice to the people that are directly affected by the policy.
We, at Nepal Watch, believe that a strategically managed policy dialogue allows the Government and policymakers to recognize and understand its importance and provide enabling environment for a dialogue between them and other stakeholders to discuss merits and demerits of our existing policies, identify the existing gaps and address these gaps using relevant data generated from analyses, case studies and/or research. Policy dialogue engages different sectors and diverse stakeholders in this process and helps people to have a say in policy-making decisions tailored to their lives and needs indirectly thereby influencing to devise coherent policies.
OBJECTIVES
Overall goal of this program is to provide a platform to organize extensive discussion regarding existing policies, identify and mitigate the gap, connect people to policy makers and support for effective policy execution in Nepal with various stakeholders as well as explore possibility of policymakers facilitating the participatory processes and engaging and forming partnership with diverse stakeholders.
CONCLUSION
Reflecting to the spirit of the new Nepal and the changed dynamism, the institutions of governance and policy must adapt to the new challenges and conform to the basic tenets of the Constitution of Nepal.
Meeting the aspirations of Nepal and its citizens requires institutional reforms in governance and dynamic policy changes that can bring and sustain unprecedented change. The program aims to provide platform to initiate dialogue to create awareness among the stakeholders, exploration of gaps in policies related to economic and infrastructure development and investment, sensitize common people and society to have positive narrative regarding investment and private sector, bring outcome-oriented policy discussions and to carry out research on policy issues.
