Policy discussions

Find an issue or raise your own, spot a gap or loophole in a law, and propose a change. Anyone can suggest improvements; every version stays visible, and the original author and every contributor are credited.

  1. Find or raise an issue A problem, a gap or loophole in a law, or a new idea.
  2. Propose a change and publish it Three short questions. You are credited as the author.
  3. Anyone can suggest improvements Every version stays visible, and every contributor is credited.

Starter discussions by Policy Nepal editors set out the evidence and the options on an issue to open the debate. They are not Policy Nepal’s position. Suggest improvements to them like any other proposal.

House rules
  1. Argue about ideas, not people. No insults, threats or hate against any group.विचारमाथि बहस गर्नुहोस्, व्यक्तिमाथि होइन। कुनै पनि समूहविरुद्ध अपमान, धम्की वा घृणा नगर्नुहोस्।
  2. Back factual claims with a source. Opinions are welcome; label them as opinions.तथ्यगत दाबीका लागि स्रोत दिनुहोस्। विचार स्वागत छ; त्यसलाई विचार नै भन्नुहोस्।
  3. Contributions appear immediately. Three independent reports can hold a post for community review. Verified participants can review and restore it under the published rules; authors can withdraw their own posts.योगदान तुरुन्त देखिन्छ। तीन स्वतन्त्र रिपोर्टले पोस्ट सामुदायिक समीक्षाका लागि रोक्न सक्छन्। प्रकाशित नियमअनुसार प्रमाणित सहभागीले समीक्षा गरी पुनःस्थापना गर्न सक्छन्; लेखकले आफ्नै पोस्ट हटाउन सक्छन्।
  4. Your published contribution and chosen display name are public. Account details, individual ratings and private party-preference answers are never shown with it. Do not post private information about yourself or anyone else.प्रकाशित योगदान र छानिएको नाम सार्वजनिक हुन्छन्। खाताको विवरण, व्यक्तिगत मूल्याङ्कन र निजी दल-रुचिको जवाफ त्यससँग देखाइँदैन। आफ्नो वा अरूको निजी जानकारी नराख्नुहोस्।
  5. If you represent a party or public office, disclose that role and relevant interests. Everyone participates under the same rules; a display name alone does not verify that role.दल वा सार्वजनिक निकायको प्रतिनिधित्व गर्नुहुन्छ भने त्यो भूमिका र सम्बन्धित स्वार्थ खुलाउनुहोस्। सबैलाई उही नियम लागू हुन्छ; देखाउने नामले मात्र त्यो भूमिका प्रमाणित गर्दैन।

Proposals are participants’ views, not verified findings or government decisions. Only the author edits a proposal; others suggest, and the author decides.

Practical tool Policy options template

What is this?

A place to write a policy proposal, discuss the evidence and suggest improvements. Authors control their text; contributors receive credit for their input.

Why does it matter?

Good ideas improve through questions, evidence and practical alternatives. Keeping revisions and contributor credit visible helps readers understand how a proposal changed and why.
