Abstract
The National Zoonoses and Food Hygiene Centre (NZFHRC) in Kathmandu implemented an Urban Ecosystem and Health Project that influenced policies resulting specifically 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. This workshop assisted researchers in mapping project outcomes, preparing project reports, technical reports and documents for dissemination. Community-led actions as a result of the project included waste management, drainage systems and slaughterhouses improvement; hygiene promotion, protection of water sources; and protection of public spaces.
