Captivating the findings gathered from the ongoing research initiative, this report comprises of three sections. The first section provides readers a snapshot of the existent governance conflicts in Nepal relevant to natural resources, development, ethnocultural and political governance, documented through events and cases, using media monitoring as an approach. It summarizes the findings of nine reports yielded under ‘Governance Watch’ series. The following section then gives an overview of the horizontal and vertical dynamics of intergovernmental conflicts in federal Nepal, i.e., amid the local, provincial and national tiers. The third section then delves into governance conflicts that have extended beyond the frontier of three government tiers and affected the citizens, focusing on how such governance conflicts have fueled the citizen’s dissatisfactions and civil unrest. By and large, this report highlights the potential of governance conflict transformation through cooperation among multiple layers of state and non-state actors.
