Summary

Monitor notes: DEADLINE MISSED (was Apr 12). Apr 7: RSP Chair Rabi Lamichhane offered apology to Dalit community in House — first such acknowledgment by ruling party. However, formal STATE apology has not been delivered. Reform programs not yet announced. KP column (Apr 14) reports government 'silently abandoned' the proposed apology. Activists demand legal reforms (amend Caste-Based Discrimination Act, 2068) and resource allocation beyond symbolic gestures.

What is this?

Creating formal coordination mechanisms between the three tiers of government — federal, provincial, and local — to prevent duplication, resolve jurisdictional disputes, and ensure smooth service delivery.

Impact on people

Citizens stop being caught between three levels of government, each pointing to the other. Services like education, health, and infrastructure get delivered without jurisdictional confusion.

Why it matters

Since federalism began in 2017, coordination has been chaotic. Provinces and municipalities often don't know their responsibilities, leading to duplication of some services and absence of others.
