Abstract
The workshop helped document the outcomes of a project which successfully influenced different policies in Nepal, and city programs of Kathmandu, resulting in a new Animal Slaughtering and Meat Inspection Act, modification of the Nepal Food Act, modification of the Garbage Disposal Act, revisions to the Kathmandu Valley Housing Plan, and revisions to the Nepal Drinking Water and Sewerage Plan. Local projects were implemented to facilitate the application of new regulations and practices; community-led actions included proper management of household and commercial waste, improvement of drainage systems and slaughterhouses; hygiene promotion, protection of water sources; and preservation and protection of public spaces.
