Developing Democracy in Nepal (DDN) II: 2010-2011
DDN II is a no-cost extension to DDN project, which was approved for the period 2006 to 2008 (Refer to Completed Projects section under Development Assistance). DDN project had already been extended till 2009 and the additional no cost extension from March 2010 to March 2011 has taken the shape of a new project as DDN II. The purpose of DDN first phase was to support Nepal in developing democratic processes leading to the election of a Constituent Assembly (CA) and the subsequent drafting of a new and effective Constitution that addresses core legal and governance issues. The project was designed to be responsive to the evolving situation on the ground and to be sensitive to the complex post-conflict dynamic and peace building efforts. At the time of design, constitutional development was scheduled for completion in 2008. There have been numerous delays in the process and the new deadline set for completion is May 2011.
The DDN II will contribute to the following approved project outcomes:
i) enhanced and informed participation by all sections of Nepali society, particularly women and the socially-excluded, in ongoing democratic processes leading to the election of a socially inclusive Constituent Assembly and the drafting of a new constitution;
ii) improved media coverage of constitutional and democratic issues related to the upcoming election and drafting of the Constitution.
