This review looks at existing justice policies and processes governing the justice sector in Nepal, including operational processes of key informal mechanisms. It is part of an ongoing initiative which seeks to improve access to justice – particularly by poor, vulnerable and marginalised groups and communities – by strengthening linkages and coordination between Nepali state and non-state justice actors.

This paper aims to summarise the key community security concerns and issues that were voiced by youth and student groups in consultations carried out in Sunsari and Morang districts between the 25th September and the 5th November 2007. Voluntary ‘Youth Steering Committees’, comprising active and knowledgeable youth stakeholders, have played a key role as representatives for their district and in steering the project process. Local level interactions were then held in order to understand the particular issues facing rural youth.
